Had the same yesterday. I had only a few flares and no bandages, and ran into a guy who seemed to trust me, as he constantly lost sight of me. He did not have any interesting gear, but I really needed bandages, and at one point the guy was looking for zombies and I had my gun pressed in the back of his head... But I decided to let the poor bastard slip. It is hard to stay honest when faced with the extinction of mankind, but true honest people are rare to find. Becoming dishonest wil only make them more rare to find.

The whole idea most people love about the game is the way interaction is now. Psychologically speaking, it is the most realistic way that interaction should take place. You have the players who leave others be, the honest players, the players who want to team up, the bandits who shoot on sight, the backstabbers, etc. It all creates the hostile, insecure ambiance and introduces such a very unique element in the game, in which nobody is in teams, but it is no Deathmatch either. It is just people going after their own goal, and helping or killing other whenever they see fit in accordance with their goal and/or moral decisions. It seems this game is so out of the box, people crave "normal" or "expected" game mechanics, like joining together, clear distinction in classes/teams, friendly fire on/off etc. The problem is, giving in to one of these ideas would mean such a shift in game mechanics, that other ideas should change as well. Oh and please, never EVER EVER call your thread "must read" just because YOU find it important. Your ideas are more or less represented throughout the whole forum by other people disliking the game design. You SHOULD provide feedback, but not forcing people to read it, because your thread is not at all that special. And even if it would, then please take the effort to write a decent starttopic. It is understandable that you get this result on a smartphone, but you should not write "must read"-content on your smartphone in the first place.

As stated in the FAQ, you can appeal for it, but the makers are trying to do this less and less often, which is understandable, giving the explosive growth of the mod plus the fact that it is still Alpha, so people should just "deal with it" (how harsh that may seem). You can always appeal tho', check the FAQ. And please keep reporting these bugs, because they can be fixed if there is enough data about it!

Why don't you just reinstall? And maybe do it in C just to be sure?

-edit- other people explained it better.

Why are people still complaining about certain aspects which are just set design aspects. And yeah, if they think this is really to dark, they will change it in a patch. But please know, it is the project of the modmakers, not yours. Also, some people love it, some hate it. People who hate it should move to other servers. Why are people demanding changes from a free-to-play mod which is still in Alpha? And please, don't start insulting people because they don't see eye to eye with your vision!!!
