I find this thread a complete load of bull.... No offense to those of you who feel that this "game" is an extension of yourself in the virtual world is kind of misplaced. If you have played any other FPS you have killed a cpu or other players with no remorse and yet it is a game and senseless violence. No one complains about killing in other games because, "that game's whole point is to kill to win". To a certain degree, that is true on this game as well and you can succeed in this game either by killing others, or helping each other live. People who get mad about losing their stuff when they die is just pathetic. I understand if you die from some in game bug or glitch, I would say you have a right to be upset. However, when another player kills you, it is your fault for being at that location at that time even though you didn't know the killer was at that exact location. Example being at the military locations that are hotspots for bandits and what not. Still, people who do prey on freshly spawned players are ruining the game for them and getting little or nothing out of it and I find that just a waste of the killers time. I see people who play like this as assholes who care for nothing but their own personal amusement. Whether or not the game has been intended for you to be immersed in it, the whole outcome of the game revolves around your personal play style. Those who feel it is unfair have a right to and I do agree with that. I am sure this thread would not be here if a lot more people preferred to help each other rather than kill on sight.
