I think maybe you have anger issues. I advise you see a therapist about that. Good day, sir.

First of all, it is a simulator. It is labeled as a simulator, and the developers built it to be a simulator. Nothing you say can change that. Sure, you can label all of the unrealistic things about it, but that doesn't make it any less of a simulator. You can go find any simulator game and find hundreds of flaws in it. That doesn't make it any less of a simulator. Second of all, this is not a thread about ArmA being a simulator. It is a thread about thermal sights.

ArmA is not a FPS. It is an military simulator. Before you go making sweeping statements like that, please actually play the game, and not just a very simple mod for it.

There is only one legitimate weapon in DayZ that has a thermal sight on it. That is the L85, which is a bullpup assault rifle. The fact that it is an assault rifle somewhat balances the thermals. However, I hope that in the stand alone don't add any thermals at all.

I'll pick it up if I don't have any other weapons. It's silent, which is a huge plus. It has a relatively large magazine, and it's nice for killing zombies. It's just terrible for PvP though. If you get shot at by another player, and you have the Bizon, unless you get a headshot, you're probably going to lose.

Yes, you can get in a car with broken legs. The trap isn't to stop them from stealing the car, but rather to slow them down and sort of "get back" at them for stealing your car. It will also make them think twice before just running up to a car and getting in it. Edit: You can also place them in front of other people's cars to, as i said earlier, troll them.

Mostly I hear about people placing them in front of cars door to troll people.

Why not try a darker yellow? Like more gold.

The situation I described in not using a game mechanic in an unintended manner. The mechanic was designed to let you respawn if you are in some situation you don't want to be in. That is, literally, the reason it was designed. I should also point out, I almost never use the respawn button, but I do support its use. Listen, you're obviously just a huge troll, so there's no point in arguing with you. If you need to win an internet argument to feel good about yourself, that's fine. If you can't handle a civil debate, that's fine. Go troll somewhere else though. You'll get no more out of me.

Either you are a cleverly disguised troll, bent on slandering me, or you are one of the thickest people I've ever met. I honestly can't tell which. If you are a troll, then good job, you've trolled me hard. If not, then please, for the love of god, learn how to argue. You've done nothing but try and insult me, claim I've said thing I didn't, repeat some faux-logic about how you've destroyed my points and been a general nuisance. I'm almost convinced at this point you're just waiting for me to post so you can counter with some big-worded post riddled with the word "logic" to try and make your points sound more valid. You're obviously not applying your beloved logic. You say I'm beating around the bush, but you're the one who has been posting insults and faux-logic to try and side-step the issue and hope no one will notice. Again, I implore you to please be civil or don't post at all. I can't take you seriously.

I can't seem to find your server.

You obviously, like your friend above, don't know how to have a civil argument. If you can't refrain from personal insults, please stop posting. I feel like everyone that is on your side of the argument can't read. I've explained my points several times thoroughly. As I've mentioned, probably a half a dozen times, please read my previous posts to see my points, instead of being lazy and telling me to rewrite everything just for you. And, for the record, I never said I used the respawn button to get a better position. I said you can use it to respawn if you are in an unsavory situation. The example provided was that you have a broken leg, don't have any morphine and aren't near a hospital. You can keep making thing up about what I said, but it won't prove your point.

I feel like you might be a little upset, sir.

So much wrong with your post. No one ever agreed it wasn't a cheat, and no one ever said there wasn't any servers that have rules against it. In fact, I've played on several that have very specific rules against loot cycling. You're obviously the one who is failing apply logic. You don't read, or can't seem to comprehend my half of the argument. I don't know if it's out of sheer will to disregard logic or reasoning, or if you're really that thick. Honestly, your whole argument comes down to you obviously not knowing what my side of the argument entails. I've repeated myself many times, and yet you still fail to understand. Now, if you can't be civil and have an argument without resorting to personal insults, you might as well just stop.

I don't know how well it'll work, but good on you for trying.

I was trying to be civil, but your post is full of backhanded, passive-aggressive comments that, honestly, make me wish I could slap you across the internet. I've already explain why things like using the respawn button are not exploits, but obviously you failed, again, to read that part. And condemning me for doing things like using the respawn button just makes you a hypocrite. As for this notion you seem to have about me being on my "high horse" or trying to "flee to the moral high ground", it seems to me that you're the one doing that. You have this arrogant air to you that just sickens me.

The first definition you provided has no context here, as that is the definition of exploit as a noun. We are talking about exploit as a verb. There is quite a big difference there. And while, yes, there are definitions of the word that sound neutral or even good, the word exploit, in its verb form, is generally look upon in a negative way. As for demonstrating how it is those things you mentioned, please just read my previous posts.

The definition of exploit from several different dictionaries. Just going to leave this here. Exploit: - to use selfishly for one's own ends - to take advantage of (a person, situation, etc), esp unethically or unjustly for one's own end - To make use of selfishly or unethically - to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage

This is just totally untrue. I'm done with the argument, as I have said my piece, but I will defend myself from slander. Hacking, loot cycling, server hopping, ghosting, dupping ect. These are all things I do not subscribe to, nor would I ever support.

If you know the stuff is hacked, why not just empty the tents, save them so the stuff doesn't come back, then crush them.

Still, if he had that quick of access to the admin, he is probably friends with him.

Sounds like admin abuse to me. He just wanted an excuse to ban someone who killed him.

If you're going to be a dick and only post stupid exaggerated hate, then why even post at all? He never said anything about any of this. He asked for a, slightly different second kind of zombie. And if you were to actually think about it, it makes sense. Some people are stronger than others, so some zombies are stronger than others.

I'd actually like to see the axe become a tertiary weapon. Along with other melee weapons. That way you can carry your main firearm, a side-arm and a melee weapon. I mean, in real life, if you had a rifle, a pistol and a baseball bat, you're going to keep all three within easy reach.

Well, you obviously missed my whole argument if you think that doesn't support what I've been saying. The core of my argument was that the mechanic was not designed to be used that way, and using it that way, you are, by definition, exploiting it. I realized there is nothing I can do about except debate the ethics of doing so. I was simply trying to persuade people into not doing it. My point, in the end, is not really that it is cheating, but rather that you should stop doing it not because it's against the rules, but because it's just wrong to do. If you don't agree, that's too bad. I'd also like to add that if I did insult or in any other way offend anyone, I do apologize. The... heat of the situation can really get to one during an situation like this.
