true but not all gamers have all day to play a game i could take you 2 days to find each other if you only play say 4 hours a day to meet up then BAM your both dead then same agian this will get old fast for most people and thats why they should let you chooses then if you like that sort of thing you can start miles apart if you dont then you dont have to 3 of my frends wont play the game even with the respawn button if you could pick were to spawn they would.
