Make the new Lack of Starting Equip Vet + server settings only

And segregate the difficulty so no one can play on recruit, get loot, and then log onto a vet server.

Basically, the lack of spawn equipment should be a server setting tied to Difficulty.

No, /thread

Doesn't really work considering you could start a character on another server, then just load it up into the veteran server.

Read the suggestion.

if you dislike the game as it is, make a point of it in one of the ten trillion other threads, rather than suggest stupid "fixes"

Unlike most people who will reply to this, I'm not going to make fun of you.

DayZ is meant to be catastrophically hard in all things. I will be very surprised if the standard difficulty stays in the game, all things considered. Your first goal as a survivor is to survive, and having a fully armed pistol at the beginning makes surviving the initial landing too simple. We may not be at a perfect system yet, because this is Alpha, but it's certainly better than people on the beach going gung ho the second they see someone.
