Bandit Problem?

[knaxx 4]

Can someone please describe this bandit problem everyone seems to be having? I don't understand what is going on and every thread that talks about it sounds like a kid crying because he dropped his ice cream.

In my opinion there isn't a problem with bandits as they are a key part of the emotion and thrill of the game. But I think a lot of people including myself have a problem with the way bandits deal with people. Most bandits just kill on sight people even if they are unarmed or oblivious to the bandit.

Many people including myself prefer the way bandits operated before the DayZ was hyped up, where the bandits used to actually, talk to the players and ask them to drop their stuff like a proper robbery but now there are only a handful of bandits that don't just shoot people on sight for their loot.

It kinda makes the game frustrating if you have no weapons, no supplies and you just started and you get shot from somebody you didn't even see on the coastline.

these "bandits" thinking they are all high and mighty sniping out unarmed fresh spawns..

but as soon as a bullet lands anywhere near them they "OH SHIT HE SHOT BACK ABORT ABORT" alt+f4

i think thats what the real problem is..
