If you could go back to being a noob, would you?

of course i would...

 

like most games, once the magic is gone, its gone forever..

Yep.

Mainly I wish I could 'forget' the map and the loot spawns. I'm good at map-reading and could get from A to B quickly when I first started playing, but I never really knew what was between A and B. 

These days, most people, not just me, seem to know every treeline and the best routes from place to place.

 

This is why I love playing well-made 'new' maps - e.g Varkgard on DayZ Fusion. You get that lost and helpless feeling back.
