I actually try to avoid other players as best as I can, but I try to give people a chance. I mean, just from a gameplay stand point, there is enough loot for everyone and surviving is so much easier when you help each other out. However since this is a game, people are more obsessed with getting either kills, or even better equip. Just last night I was spotted at Berezino by some unarmed guy. He came up to me and asked if we wanna hit the town together. I was expecting him to murder me right after getting his pistol, but he didn't. After getting some more supplies, he took me to his buddies at a gas station and the 5 or 6 of us went for a military equip run. This is how you do it. Not that I complain about the whole pvp drama...I think this tension is one of the unique features of the mod. In other online games, players are forced into opposing teams. Here, it's total freedom...or anarchy.
