Is player v player glitching becoming a problem?

[Ske7ch23 1]

I have noticed that as time goes on more and more servers instantly kick new players joining. I assume that this is to prevent the few players on the server from being killed.

I have also noticed that Every player alt f4's now, so there really is no way to get kills on somebody who attacks you. many people opting for a hit and run style of gameplay, then changing server to change location and then attacking from another angle before using alt f4 again.

Even new players with just pistols will attack our large group of 7 if they can, and will just alt f4 because there is no risk any more. They can just hop on another server and be safe.

If this becomes the norm then there is no life in the game. It will be pointless and players will continue to take the stupid risks they currently do.

My team operates on a return fire basis. So we will only kill players who shoot us first. and we don't alt f4 to save gear etc as we want to test the game and play it for what it is. the only players we kill on sight are snipers or groups large enough to be able to take us out. but in the last few days everyone has caught on to the alt f4 glitch

Have other people experienced this? is there a solution better than restarting the game if you alt f4? Is it possible to keep a players character locked afk in a server if they drop so that they can be killed and looted? (sure its harsh if you genuinely crash, but 99% of people suddenly leaving are just exploiting a bug and should be punished for it.) In day z you are supposed to die! if you survive then you should always be on edge, but with such a massive flaw at the moment people are not playing by normal standards of survival. they run into high loot areas, raid them and then just disconnect. people don't care to scout the area ahead or be cautious and it takes away so much depth from the game.

That and infinite ammo by returning to lobby is making survival too easy.

I've only experienced it a couple of time but it really pisses me off.

Its only an alpha test of the mod that will most likely be becoming a stand alone.

They know the issues at hand and they will be fixed either soon or in the standalone. They have more important things to worry about atm.
