DayZ is a SURVIVAL mod WITH zombies. The point is to survive, and in real life, if supplies were limited, we would join groups or go solo and hunt people for supplies and raid stores. Asking to give penalties for pvp is like saying "Hey, If you shoot me (In real life) your legs will begin to hurt even more!" No, it's a realism mod, the people are supposed to be more challenging than the zombies. Your suggestions imply you want to turn this into another typical MMO, implementing leveling systems and such. Play to survive, not to level. Edit: And to add on to that, Global chat isn't realistic. Maybe if you found a cell phone in game with limited battery you could try to call another player, but you can't speak in the air and expect people half way across the world to hear it, again---- Realism mod.
