PvP should be linked to a kill counter

3 kills or more makes you a bandit, apparently.

uh, that's 3 or 4 PvP kills per hour, not in total. And that's just an example rate anyway - the developer could obviously set it differently if they think that's too low.

The important thing is to introduce a way to control the rate of PvP on a server. There are obviously two types of player in this game:

· The PvP guys who just want to get tooled up and then shoot as many people as possible.

· The co-op/survival guys, who would rather trade with others, help each other out, build bases, explore the map, scavenge their gear, and mainly only kill for a reason.

At the moment the co-op guys are being dictated to by the PvP guys:

'The way you're playing is wrong. Just shoot on sight like us. You must be crap at the game if you play it any other way. Tough shit if you don't like it'.

And the co-op guys don't have any comeback - there's nothing they can do to counter it, except to reluctantly shoot on sight too.

Well, I'd say that the developers are very short-sighted if they only cater to one style of play, when the concept is obviously also very suited to co-op.

So the 'kill counter' suggestion is about opening up a CHOICE. How can choice be a bad thing?

If you want PvP, then you'd join a server without the 'kill counter' configuration; it would be as simple as that. So I don't get why there is so much aggression for

the suggestion. It would let co-op guys get on with what they want to do, and it wouldn't affect the PvP players at all, except that you'd be up against other PvP

players rather than picking off easy targets who don't want to shoot on sight.

The thing with Dayz though is that its trying to simulate a post apocalyptic wasteland. If this happend IRL, different kinds of people act differently. There would be people teaming up, trying to survive together on the stuff they find. And im sure there will be those poeple that will kill others for the loot they have. And perhaps those that shoot for fun, but those people are either insane or something i dont know...
