I call them Veteran Noobs..Voobs. They have been playing for a while but just cannot shake the fps deathmatch style they are so used to.

I call them Bloody Noobs, or BOOBS. It achieves nothing but it makes me smile.

So you were blatantly stalking a stranger and he decided to shoot you? No idea why someone would do that.

Yeah there are real jackass in this game, last day I was kind in the same situation in either elektro or cherno(can't remember) was gearless. I ran through the city, saw zombies corpses on the ground follow the trail. Found two survivor, they start shooting at ... zombies that were trailing me. Was so suprised !!! I ran for my life. But it was pointless they simply saved me, with their beautiful weapons and gillie suits. They spoke : Thank you for saving my life yo ! I replied : THANK YOU !! of course, but I lost them. Was a unexpected encounter !!

It is a fact of life.just about everybody you meet in this game that isn't on teamspeak, Skype or vent will shoot you.

It seems that survival equals 'kill everyone'. Rather than form alliances with strangers.

In your case this voob(i like that one) obviously needs the murder and negative humanity points.

There are people out there that do not actively look for a fire fight. Jasz is one of them.

Remember one thing. Around 12% of players are bandits. The other 88% are just sniper fodder.

Welcome to the social experiment that we call dayZ.

When I first joined DayZ I was an innocent unsuspecting friendly. I'd call out friendly at each chance, hoping to have a bud to run around Cherno with making more buds.

But it was short lived, we'd either get shot down or zombies would split us apart.

So I stopped trying to team up. Two people are easier to detect than one (this goes for zombies).

I still called friendly but we usually went our separate ways if I wasn't shot.

As time went on I found myself dieing too often to my friendly nature. So I stopped calling friendly and observed others without them knowing of my presence. I was getting to the 'trust no one stage' quite fast. However, I was still not a shoot on sight player.

After being backstabbed by squeaksters and unarmed players I take caution with everyone, even the unarmed. I don't shoot them on sight. Atleast not yet.

I was in the Elektro market when an unarmed was outside, he saw me, I was armed. I told him it was ok over direct chat. So he came in and looted. I left and headed to the restaurant accross the road.

I then hear foot steps behind me, it was the unarmed now armed with a crow bar trying to take me down. I dispose of him quite easily, and say "this is what I get for letting you live" as he lies there dead.

This is when I realised no one could be trusted. I thought this game was about rising up against the infected. Well, that was shortlived. They became an annoyance, a thorn in your side. It was the players that were the real danger. If you must rise up, rise up against them.

But you know, I'm not angry about this. Though it saddens me. This game made me realise what people can really be like, that there are 'bad' people out there, however I do realise there are 'good' ones aswell but most get thrown into the same boat. It makes it extra special when you find those people aswell.

I lost innocence during this game, and I could apply it to real life. So for a social experiment I think it has done its job.

When I play this game I don't say to myself 'oh well it's just a game, I'll earn this guys trust and take his beans as soon as he helps me get a gun'. The people who use this as an excuse are the people I am talking about. This game releases peoples inner douche-bag.

Trust is a privilege, and if you take your chance and trust me, you can be sure as hell I will honour that trust. Hell, if you find me first and decide not to kill me no matter what gear you have I'll honour that trust. Trust to me is the most valuable thing in this game. Earning someones trust is better than any Huey or pair of NVG's, it's just a shame I will never trust anyone until they earn it.

I think you will go through a similar transformation, I think most lose that innocence over time.

Apologies for the melodramatic response.
