THAT is how you trade!

Yesterday we were trading with a friendly survivor named +Ben+, together with Sinfulsebastian I provided overwatch for Piccolo who traded in the open field near Sosnovka. Here is how this went and how a man trades. Balls of Steel and Beans for the trade!

Nicely done! I've met some good people too by trading and doing medical stuff.

On a side note, don't you think playing on a server with character ID and distancing kind of ruins it for you. You have a Ghillie and a great gun but anyone can just look in your general direction and get an exact location no matter how well hidden you are. It kind of defeats the object of getting nice gear like rangefinders and so on. Also it makes it much too easy for noob snipers to judge range and start shooting. It's just my opinion but for a trade like that I'd want to make it as hard as possible for anyone to spot the overwatch position. It also means that Snipers have to be much more skillfull in order to get a good shot off.

Vid looked nice to start with but i had to turn it off after 2 minutes because the music was starting to make my brain run out my ears. Aside from that looked good.

The nametags were the only reason i knew where the overwatch was. Not that it bothered me, i knew they were going to be there and i'd traded with Paxton and Sebastian before, just meant i could flip them a salute as i got back to the treeline after the trade. By the looks of the video though they'd already bolted when i gave the salute :lol:

Since we knew Ben allready we had nothing to fear, but yeah, i totally agree on that too, normaly we take veteran servers without even 3dp on :)

Oh it was you! At least I know if I need to trade I can give you a shout. With that in mind I'm currently looking for a MK.48. If you find one I'll make you a good offer and meet wherever you want, preferably on a server without nametags :) .
