If lawlessness existed as it does in Day Z, the exact same thing would happen. Anyway, what do you want the game to be? Players running around and looting in order to fight zombies while working together? What would be the point? The PvP IS the point. If you're careful it's very easy to avoid dying anyway. I played on a 40 player server yesterday for hours and got stocked up with a ton of food, ammo, and a primary/secondary along with bandages/morphine. I even looted the Cherno hospital at one point, while hearing tons of gunshots around me. I wasn't stupid enough to go towards them yelling "FRIENDLY IM FRIENDLY FREE KILL HERE" - I looted and got the fuck out as soon as possible. Also just FYI being a Bandit is not punishment. Someone whos able to stay alive long enough to get the kills required to be a bandit is NOT going to be walking up to you and trying to gain your trust so that they can double cross you. They're going to approach towns and cities very carefully and either snipe you or try to ambush you. Either way, the skin makes NO difference whatsoever.
