Server-hopping, still an issue

Wonderful, yes, this is all we need right now. People spreading the word to those that weren't already aware, of how to get "Everything in 30 minutes MAX".

You do realise the actual point of DayZ, right?. Scavenging and Survival being the biggest keys here. The last thing anyone needs is a exploit tutorial of a game in Alpha stage, teaching people how to bypass the entire point of playing through server-hop farming. All this does successfully is gear up dickheads who sit inside Balota with full military grade weapons/ammo/clothing who then proceed to wander round the coast with nothing better to do than grief people who are trying to play the game how it was intended to be played. This isn't about me being anti-KOS, because that is a part of the game whether some people want it or not, but at least have the decency to earn the gear you're using through exploration and looting instead of through cheap methods like this...

 

I don't see what people are gaining from sever hopping in general, how is it providing any sort of sense of achievement?. It's just a cheap exploit of a game in Alpha stage by people who are too dense to actually play the game how it was intended to be played. Server hopping is a huge problem at the moment, obviously not THE biggest one, i'm not trying to say that, but to weak willed people who for whatever reason bought DayZ in Early Access then only want to PvP in Balota or grief others, it's an easy way to give players with actual morals a disadvantage.

I genuinely love DayZ and it's prime directive of providing a harsh post apocalyptic world in which we as players must survive in. I was hyped for this a long time ago and now, even in this early alpha stage, it has impressed me greatly and I am eager to see how the continue to improve upon an already solid base. I'm thinking this server hopping could be easily solved through means of locking characters and their gear to specific servers once they have been joined, without causing any issue for any regular players.

Honestly, If you need a tutorial of how to make a survival game less fun, and a grind fest, You're not playing the right types of games..

Thankfully the people who do gear up using this method tend to have pretty fast turnaround times on their lifespans lol.
