koNtenT 36 Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Some of you may have had the pleasure of my acquaintance, as well as being on the receiving end of it. I am a KoS Bandit, and business is booming. I join fresh servers not for the loot, but rather the people trying to be the 1st people to attain that loot. A nice easy trap for the unsuspecting survivor. I take advantage of people who casually ruin other servers to "gear up" and then leave to sin again in another server. Most of the time, I don't even need anything from the victims and capitalize on their misfortune. I kill, then watch them leave on the player list. Still boggles my mind on the amount of people that will attempt to combat log midst flying mosin shots. Not only does this bring a certain amount of self accomplishment for killing a person committing a "frowned upon" action, but I also get pretty well geared in less than half the time it took to loot hop myself. Life was good. After about a week of this, sitting on my dual monitor watching a show while keeping a brief eye on DayZ for any people to randomly run into the firehouse / school / office building / well, I decided to start a new way. I've been through my share (and probably a couple other people's shares as well) of grievances, trolls, hacks, and general inconveniences the game / community has too offer. With all this experience I was wondering how is DayZ even appealing to me anymore? The answer was, interaction between people as well as self gratifying reactions to events. My interaction being my bullet with their head, and them running back as fresh spawns to give me a nice talk. To all the people who was legitimately joining that server again after the restart to continue their adventure, I am sorry. Only case where I actually feel like a douche. To all the people who I've killed loot hopping (about 98% of the people I've killed), enjoy wasting your time to get fully geared again. If you gave me the chance to do it again, I would without hesitation. I am doing what Dean hasn't been able to do against loot hoppers and will continue to do so until some kind of repercussion (or respawning loot patch) has been made. Thanks for helping me get fully geared ^.^ Edited February 22, 2014 by koNtenT 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicko2580 398 Posted February 23, 2014 lol I don't know how I feel about this post. On one hand, I feel like you're doing a public service shooting server hoppers. On the other, you're likely netting a lot of innocent victims (I doubt it's 98% hoppers. Doubt it highly) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyCorky 40 Posted February 23, 2014 Some people may be joining for the first time looking for a low pop server to get stuff done on. Or to get familiar with the map. So not really sure how I feel about this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas 5195 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I didn't quite know how to feel about it, so I just gave everybody some beans. But yeah, killing server hoppers is a honorable community service. Edited February 23, 2014 by Dallas 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko2580 398 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) And the thing is, I'm quite often forced into low pop servers simply because they're the only ones that appear in my list. I'll always take a high pop server if it's available, but when i've been sitting refreshing the server list for 10 minutes and I'm getting the same three servers with 4/5 people on them ever time... I'm just gonna take it. You couldn't consider that loot hopping, surely?Reported this as a bug, which is definitely is because I know there are a lot more servers. Playing at the same time every night - some nights there's 50+ servers and others there's 1? I don't think so. :P Edited February 23, 2014 by Nicko2580 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sistinas1973 50 Posted February 23, 2014 As if you can distinguish between server hoppers and legitimate players just trying to survive. Another KOS douche with no rhyme or reason other than to troll whatever server you happen to log on to for the day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted February 23, 2014 As if you can distinguish between server hoppers and legitimate players just trying to survive. Another KOS douche with no rhyme or reason other than to troll whatever server you happen to log on to for the day. Exactly, how is it anyone feels they can say that guy definitely did not just spawn in after logging out yesterday here. He MUST be server hopping! You're just making yourself feel better for embracing the murderer in you. Accept it for what it is. Stop making excuses. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have now though a few times...especially since I now have a Pristine Mosin/scope/compensator and Bi-pod....To sneak back down to the seashore.... and kill from afar....ever Motorcycle and clown mask wear S.O.B.

TokumeiSennin 34 Posted February 23, 2014 I am not sure what expresion did you wanna got poting it. Fear for server hoppers, just bandit (nothing new) or overestimating own skills which is characteristic of a certain group of people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted February 23, 2014 Exactly, how is it anyone feels they can say that guy definitely did not just spawn in after logging out yesterday here. He MUST be server hopping! You're just making yourself feel better for embracing the murderer in you. Accept it for what it is. Stop making excuses. I keep the P menu open while I lay in my nest. I define a hopper as someone who logs in and is inside balota barracks within 30 seconds. You soon see who the none hoppers are and can focus on watching for that new player.....close menu when they join and go to scope....low and behold few seconds later full tacti cool guy runs into the barracks lol :) PS Im sure some innocents do get caught up in the mix, but for the most part that is the MO of a hopper so il continue to shoot them aswell. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
