Don't worry-- the worst of the worst came from Kotaku already.

I don't understand why people are taking this as serious as they are. Just as this was started already in this thread, if you're going to ABUSE the item system (making your server private or not) it is way more efficient to server hop and grab each spawn and logging out and repeating over and over again. But because admins lock their own server to build a huey or a some other vehicle they are are scum? Do you really think they are getting all the uber loot and planning on joining your random server and owning you with some silenced scoped nvg rocket launcher bullshit? No, they are planning some way different than sniping noobs in an air tower and do not need some cod mouth-breather fucking it all up. Relax.

The more inland I ever get the more hostile other people are, bandit skin or not. Honestly, I think direct voice chat is going to help a lot when it gets put back in. Right now standing and typing just gets you killed. Not everyone reads it and you can't assume everyone is friendly, bandit skin or not. Voice chat will get the message across right away and depending on how convincing your voice is, people might be more friendly. I know I would if some smooth British man rolled up and called us mates and asked where we were headed I'd think twice about blowing his head off with my AK. It's unfortunate everyone can't be more accommodating, but I'm quite sure a large portion of us have had the same type of thing happen. It sucks balls running all the way out to to some military outpost only to get popped when you run into other survivors... but most people don't want to risk it, and I do not blame them.
