I have the best gear you could possibly have in a legit way. I have no need for other peoples gear. But I will only kill people who are armed.

He sat down and did the Q E waggling. He didn't lay down, he didn't hunch, he sat down. Your brain is flawed. Stop being bad. It's people like you that I want to kill, because you're undeserving, idiotic non-sensical killers.

That's alright, I wasn't part of it to begin with. Nor would I want to be. I'm a lone wolf. I hate everyone. If he had had a gun on him, I would've killed him. If you're armed, you're part of the fight. If you're unarmed, I hope to see you wearing lots of stuff next time I see you so it'll be all that more satisfying to kill you. That's how I roll. That and it was nice to be nice and just interact with someone at random. I wrote about it because I want to prove that even when being someone that kills others it doesn't mean I kill indiscriminately. There's douchebags and then there's bandits. But as I wrote to the other guy, if he had a gun on him he would've been dead. 100-150 meters away with an AS50 would've made minced meat of him. If you're armed, you're part of the fight.

Wall of text. TL;DR s in the title. My own experience: I've died about 7-8 times, having played this game for about two months. Half my deaths are to zombies, because I was a complete nitwit when I started playing. The other half is to being shot. I don't know wether that is good or bad compared to the general populace, some of my friends have died well over a dozen times, but they take a lot of risks because they think it's fun. I have a ghillie, an AS50 rifle with 8 mags, GPS, NV, rangefinder, everything. I've found and had vehicles, the only thing I have left to aspire to is finding a helicopter and flying around like a bouse, I've even trained for the occassion. But here's the thing, even if I did find one I'd just get my mates and we'd fly to the popular areas and kill every living fucker we'd see. There is literally, nothing else that's exciting to do. That and it's fun to kill people, because we all know some of them will be the carebear whiners we all love to hate. Though let me tell you this, I have killed far less than I could've done. Some times I notice the shitty gear on someone, and I just don't bother. Other times, confrontation is too risky and not worth it. Many of you will go through this, people DO see you but avoid you. You just never know because... they avoid you. So you died today? Here's the major reasons why people die. 1. You went into Cherno. 2. You went into Elektro. 3: You went to the NW airfield. 4. You went to Balota airfield. 5. You went to the NE airfield. 6.You were running whilst standing up. 7. You didn't have a clue. 8. Bad luck, you ran into someone. 9. <----All in all, the reasons most people die is because they take risks. Risks equals death or reward in this game, you better get used to it. Your two enemies in this game are zombies and other players, it's most likely you'll die to other players more than zombies because the players can shoot you. But why would they shoot you? Because they're noobs or because they've got all the gear they could ask for, like me. Noobs shoot you for the chance of getting better stuff. The geared people shoot you because there is NOTHING ELSE TO DO when you have what gear you need. Look for vehicles? Yeah you could do that, then what? You could hoard items, then what? Now that duping and hacking is rampant, gear is hardly a good enough reason to kill anyone anymore, unless you see a guy in a ghillie. I have several hoard tents I can just go to if I die and respawn, gear means nothing to me nor will I kill anyone for it. I will kill for the rush of the hunt. The only excitement left is to hunt for other players. The hunt for players is unpredictable as fuck and a real adrenaline kick. Even as I crawl through a throng of zombies, my only real worry is if another player see's me doing so. An example is of me laying above Stary Sobor today and spotting 2 companions going north together. I scope in on them and watch them, to determine where they are going and why. I see them approach a deerstand when all of a sudden a gunfight breaks out between them and another guy coming from Stary behind them. One of the two companions dies, and at that point I have located the third person, the killer, sitting behind a bush in perfect view and shooting distance; And I kill him. I lay there for 10-15 minutes more, I see another guy coming by but he never gives me a clear view of him so I never take the shot. I decide to move away, and I do. 20 meters away, someone starts unloading at me from behind, I get hit once but I survive. THAT, is the thrill of the hunt. THAT, is what I play for. But what about cooperation? What would you want to cooperate to? What would be the end goal? What is the purpose of risking cooperating with a complete, anonymous internet douchebag? When you achieve your goals, when you get your gear from possibly cooperating with a stranger, what then? You will eventually face a situation with zombies or most likely survivors, where you WILL die. And that touches another fundamental problem in player mentality: A lot of player can't handle dying. You will die, no matter what you do, you will die. Especially if you're a new player and don't know your way around. I cannot overstate this, count yourself as dead from the moment you spawn. Get rid of your pride. Drop that lootwhore attitude you got from World of Warcraft. This is an alpha of a modification, gaining and keeping gear is completely insignificant.

I don't camp the southern part of the island for fresh spawns though, that's boring and has no challenge at all. Nothing exciting about it.

My example of a hunt I had was one I wrote down in my first post. It describes how unpredictable the hunt of players is, and that's what's fun. My imagination can't make up the way people will act and react, and that's the awesome part. You'd be lucky to find random people to do any of those things with you. If you take a buss to a populated area like Chern or Elektro, I can almost guarantee you will be shot at. Where's the fun in that? I did do something I thought was fun when I was freshly spawned once, I trained zombies into Elektro whilst yelling "ZOMBIE TRAIN! WOOO WOOO!" in the mic. That was kinda fun, even as some wanker started shooting after me :P I didn't say that though. The reason people happily kill is not out of realism, it's out of greed, or as in my case the hunt. There is no reason to kill for greed when you have the gear that I have, there's hardly a reason to kill for greed even as freshly spawned, because it's risky as hell to go into a confrontation if you cannot guarantee that you will succeed in killing your target. I've avoided killing just as much as I have killed. It's an assessment of risk vs reward. I was laying on the NW airfield to see if I found someone to kill, preferably one of the clan members on that server at the time (I had killed one earlier, was fun). So I spot this one guy going from hangar to hangar, but I see he has the basic backpack and little else, so I never really take the shot. Then I hear someone shooting to my left, I turn and see some guy coming from the southern barracks, shooting zombies with an M16, and I killed him instead. Why? If you shoot an M16 on an airfield, you deserve to die :P Do you really want the story of me escaping? You know, running and running and running a little more. Is that interesting? He shot me and missed all but 1 shot. I escaped from him and I nothing else happened. I survived. Looks like another illiterate carebear. Did you even read past the first sentance? You don't really put forth any counter-argument, you just parrot the same words that all the other carebears say. You don't even know what you're saying. The original idea? I sorta touched that part in my first post. But yeah, you haven't read it or are incapable of the simplest of comprehensions and insights.

I was shoot at today, in the back. Some guy shoot 5-6 times at me, only hit me once. I logged. Why? Because I don't want to give up the best gear to someone who can't hit me more than once at 50 meters. Wouldn't happened to have been on gb 200, would it?

That's golden. They thought they were safe and had zero coordination because they were complacent, never expected to be attacked. You sir, and your friend, are winners. Did you get any phat lewt?

Today, I ran up to 2 survivors that only had hatchets and tried to talk to them. They paniced and logged out :( I was willing to help them, I talked to them on the VOIP as I approached. I actually, sincerely wanted to help. Before that, I had ran past an apartment house at the Cherno hospital, and as I did I saw a guy sitting in the stairs, I ran around the corner because I thought he was gonna shoot me. But he was scared of me as well I think. I tried talking to him on VOIP but he didn't respond, so I left. An hour later I shot a guy that was 150 meters from me. I thought he was holding an Enfield and pointing it at me. I honestly think that very few players even know there's a talk button in the game...

It's ridiculous. Just check the tag " DE " and you'll find 20 locked or passworded servers, many of them with +3 people on. There are so many locked or passworded servers out there it's laughable. Is there any point in writing about it here? Is anything done if I write the server names down?
