Constructive reasons why hive should be gone at standalone!

[Profaith 2]

So! First of all, I know this is alpha, and that the "Its alpha" excuse is the answer to some of the problems, but i believe that these should be why Hive should be taken down by standalone!

1. Ghosting- This completly gets rid of ghosting, nuff said...

2. Alt-F4ing- People cant just server hop, they have to atleast not play the game untill they feel safe, or you can just camp them :)

3. Less killing overall- And by this i meen, people are less likely to engage in mindless electro snipings or camp the coast, just because of the fact that they cant just server hop.

4. Gear A- People become more attached to their gear simply because they know they cant alt f4 out or server hop to find new loot. B- People will be more inclined to join groups for sheer safety in numbers, however this wont affect lone-wolf as much because larger groups cant just go server hopping...

5. The Community! A- People will quickly realize, KOS will only get you so far, and will outreach to try and find people to play...

B- People could actually make clan bases, without being ghosted into them...

So, another thing, if you look at Minecraft, as its probably the closest resemblence to DayZ on how its being marketed (Word of mouth, Released alpha) People dont complain when they die, or join a new server, they just restart, however that has been impleted since MC Came out, i feel that this Hive structure wont necessarily destroy DayZ, it just fixes a ton of key issues, and would build a better community, I saw one quote from Rocket where he says we have the ability to change what the state of the game is, and he will not add any mechanics to favor one side, this gives the ability to change it, it doesnt favor one side, as there will still be bandits, its just people cant exploit, and glitch their way into this KoS We call DayZ, however much i love this game, and play it WAY TO much, i feel like these will help the game immensly

Also, im stating some of the current downsides to not having a hive...

1. Admins - Can ban you whenever and you lose your stuff, *However, it is not that hard, and if you're so far along in the game, its probably time for a restart anyways, or the server would fail anyways*

2. Server Shutdown- Lose stuff...

All i can really think of right now, Please leave comments / suggestions below so i can add or subtract from this list :) Thanks guy!

P.S, Made this thread last night appearantly, dont even remember making it >.> so sorry for any grammar fails or other weird things...
