I think I'm done with the game for the foreseeable future. I've played a lot over the last few days and can count the zombies (infected) that I have encountered on one hand. Plus, it's just simply BORING running around house to house to find that they have absolutely fuck all in them. In the last few days I managed to get hold of an AK74 and eventually some ammo. Then I thought "sweet", a kashtan scope to test. But no. It was buggered and useless. Found plenty of food, but little else. Little else of value anyway. The logical areas for searching don't apply either and there's a lot of stuff that just isn't showing up. People are so bored they just shoot on sight all the time now, which is how I (once again) met my end. I want to go back in an hope that it'll be different. But I know it won't. I've stopped using the mic now, because there is absolutely no point. Now, with .57 with a zombie count so low, it just compounds the tedium. There's a fine balance between the "Call of Cherno" and the "World of Boredom" to be found. But it hasn't been found yet. Yes, I know it's Alpha.

To me a bandit, is someone who will hold you up and take your gear, or something they needed at that time. I've been held up once and the guy just nicked some food and water. Bandits, at least the guys that do it properly, are essential to the game and reflect a situation that would happen in a wartorn/apocalyptic scenario, even if a murder occurs at the end of the hold up. A KoS'er is largely just a dick. But, there are also people who just get spooked and fire off rounds because they don't want to lose their toon. Frankly, I think that "spooked KoS" is going to rocket as "gearing up" is getting harder to do in 'DayZ'. But, the worst type of 'DayZ' player, IMO, are snipers. They are mostly just clowns, happy to gun down other players for no reason other than to do so. If bandits represent something that would happen in an apocalyptic scenario, snipers don't in any way, shape or form. The end of the world and someone decides to be a sniper? I've always just thought that that was weird.
