I would say if this forum didn't exist, so would KOS

[bahhh 83]

This is just my pure opinion. tell me what you guys think.

It was us, SURVIVORS, that warned others about kos.

There were only a few bandits.

But we've been warning others that everybody is killing each other.

and what did we said the most?

"Shoot first ask questions later"

We've made ourselves bandits and we are blaming each other for it.

I'm sure most of the survivors out there didn't want this.

But they are doing this, because of 'fear' we have planted in their heads.

Just my thought

Well with the removal of the bandit skin it's impossible to tell who is, and who isn't a bandit.

[treecancer 43]

naive, people reacted this way not because of foums but out of survival instinct. Or are you saying that if the forums did not exist and I pointed a gun at your head you would blankly stare at the barrel wondering what to do?

Interesting concept... But too late to matter~

Even if people die, there would have been a lot of people following their own morals. They would continue that because they would still see a lot of users following that.

But we've kinda made people think that EVERYONE is a bandit which surely changed lots of people's minds.

Not blaming the forums for this. The forums is awesome, but i just wished we didn't tell people to shoot first and ask questions later

The forums are a HUGEEE influence

I think its more the fact that after a week or two once you've done all there is to do in the game (walk around and loot), the only thing left exciting to do is just to kill people.

I kill now where I didn't kill before.

This is a combination of:

1. Previously I didn't want to be a bandit and get killed on sight be the vast majority of players

2. I got the bandit skin a few times by just defending myself against poor shot survivors

3. They removed the bandit skin.

4. I got shot a few times by supposed 'friendlies' who then laughed and taunted over direct comms about their deception

5. I found some good gear which made me more of a target than having a bandit skin

6. I got a little bored and found killing other people was actually a whole lot of fun.

It's not just about dayz forums.

It's simply human nature, that it's no fun being a badass (or just an ass) if there is no place to brag about it.
