Right? I was rather excited when I first discovered DayZ, thinking I'd finally found that one real Z-Survival game I'd been hoping for. Literally minutes into my first life, ambushed by bandits. Wander into a new building, shot. Run into an armed survivor with nothing in my hands, shot. Find an AKM Kobra, feel awesome, walk ten feet, sniped. In fact, the only "life" I enjoyed was when I got hit by a zombie and killed a city worth of them as I bled out. Went through a CSZ, AKM, Winchester, Glock 17, and Makarov (kept finding guns while I ran house to house). I fail to understand why I have been shot by every single player I have come across, when one can simply walk into a city and find all the things they killed me for. I play other shooters for PvP, I naturally assumed DayZ was about surviving a zombie scenario, not a rampant-serial-killers one. As for the "trust nobody" explanation people seem content to throw out, what's the point in joining a server with dozens of players on it just to play alone? I strongly doubt this deathmatch with zombie gimmick is what the devs had in mind. My point is, the average player spends quite a bit of his limited time on this earth scavenging supplies and gear to survive the ZOMBIE pandemic, only to be murdered by the PLAYER one, and if you say that doesn't bother you, you're missing the point or a liar. I'll go back to following Project Zomboid.
