" This game is not about balance. It's not meant to be balanced. In a zombie apocalypse, not everyone would begin with the even amount of survival gear. That's the only balancing in this game. Some people are predators, some people are benevolent. Hell, half the time I see and often kill or avoid somebody first in broad daylight because I play like a paranoid schizophrenic - spinning none-stop to check all my surroundings. You need to think of the well geared players as bosses to be defeated, and not expect some kind of strange game democracy where everything is some large paper scissors rock game and you stand a chance against everything. You need to think of the well geared, experienced and long time survived players as even harder bosses. And essentially, you want to become a boss. " I agree with this guy exactly. Become the boss, don't whine and expect changes. If someone starts shooting at you in the dark, run like hell, zig zag, and weave between cover. Do you think that the taliban complains about balance because NATO has NVG? If you get killed in the dark, stick to playing in daylight, take a break after nightfall. During the day, NVG offer exactly zero handicap.

Yes, scrap the bandit/survivor system altogether. Everyone is a bandit anyway. I've been shot first by so many survivors anyway.
