Realism and bullshit gameplay do have a gray area, though, as most things tend to. At what point is realism sacrificed for better gameplay, or at what point is more streamlined gameplay breaking the immersion of the reality simulation? A good example of this would be Global Chatting. Whether you agree with it or not, server-wide chat is something that is a gray line between reality and bullshit gameplay, otherwise there wouldn't be a nearly 20 page discussion about it. So the real problem is not classifying these problems, but analyzing why it's a problem, and whether to and how to solve them.

Why can't I be in a party? In the same vain that rocket says he doesn't mind online maps of the game because that's just how it is, where some people would come into an apocalypse prepared and with a map while others have no clue, why can't some people come into an apocalypse with friends? You can be damn sure if I was in an apocalypse I would meet up with my friends nearby before I set off. Beyond that, playing this game with friends is absolutely great. Spending the entire day literally trying to get to one another is not. I'm not entirely sure what the best solution would be, since I'm not sure how spawning in groups would work, while choosing a spawn may make other spawns irrelevant, but it is a problem.
