Make bandit and survivor skin last longer

[Avean (DayZ) 31]

I think one of the biggest issues we have with players killing other players right now is to do with the skins basicly. We have no clue who to trust so its better to shoot first and ask later.

Two days ago i racked up 6 player kills which was against survivors, this made me a Bandit and got the skin. Yet the next day after killing many zombies i was back to normal. But my personality is still "Bandit". So the timer for the Bandit skin should be alot longer based on your history. If you accidently kill a survivor then its fine, but if you have racked up 5+ in one week then you should be marked as a Bandit and need to work alot to get rid of it.

And same with Survivor skin, if you see one you should know right away that he has not killed any survivors but bandits. But thats not the case now. I have seen several people camping out and killing survivors out in the field and they are wearing survivor skins.

So its no wonder people are getting confused out there and just finally decides to kill everyone on sight.

Take out hero and bandit skins. This game is about psychology. You shouldn't be able to judge a player by his looks. It's unrealistic. There are better ways to stop the KOS. Some of them are covered in my post

OP man why do you think you can actually find and pick up Civilian clothing ?? It's so that a bandit can disguise himself as a Survivor and con your dumbass even more.

I think your humanity should carryover with each spawn.Make players who have killed hundreds of other players have a hell of a time getting back to normal survivor skin,let alone hero skin.Make them bad bad peeps spawn with nothing and a headwrap.:)
