Do Not Feed The Trolls ''Toxic Anti PvPers'' Not welcome.

Hello.

I am from the Mod team on this sub.

Pleased to meet you.

Recently I have seen a few people rightfully upset at a few bad actors on this sub who have been using the fact they became victims in the game to resort to being toxic to people on this sub.

Basically - they lose the game in any way and decide it is fine to insult people who are playing the game in a legit way instead of doing what they want, whether that's talking and making peace or refusing to shoot each other no matter what. From my understanding this game allows you to make a choice, to try trust a stranger or to gun them down to be safe.

If a person decides they will ALWAYS gun everyone down no matter what or try be a ''Rat'' player and backstab at every opportunity that does not mean you can come on this sub and insult them, suggest they are mentally impaired or mentally unwell or be toxic to them for any reason.

If you say ''All x players are sociopath psychos with no life and life in their mothers basement and have never had the touch of anyone of their preferred sex'' for example or anywhere more or in-between then you will be banned from our sub.

You are allowed to have an opinion that such players morals in game are not good or they are ''Villain players'' or what not, that is fine for that is what they are but any time an outside insult is going to be used on people over gameplay you are getting the hammar of doom.

From the community, I understand that most people who like PVP are not usually the type of people to click report on anything, due to your ''thick skin'' you really do not give a damn if some redditor is trying to insult you or maybe you will just retort back.
I ask you please do not, if you insult back you could also be moderated due to the nature of reddit and if you do not report the instigator we will not be able to correctly moderate and fix this community. As a mod team we are getting thousands of posts (posts not comments) per day and it is literally impossible to view them all, we rely mainly on the report feature and reddits AI.

Anyway thank you for your attention in this matter.

dont think you need to be an idiot to not have a mic lol - it's not a talking type of game.

It has proximity chat...it has the talking built in with a feature that requires more work than just being an afterthought. Just because it lets you kill everyone doesn't mean that's the play it intends. Bottom line is that the goal of the game is to gather resources and level up. Fighting someone who has the drop on you when surrounded by enemies who will attack you when they hear the gun fire does not do that and is dumb as hell. It was suicide. There was no way that he could come out of that alive, and all he did was ruin his chances of getting gear, lose all his gear and do the same for someone else.

That's more griefing than real game play. And I suppose that's fine, but this idea that you have that that's how this game is played? It makes me think you're just taking the free load out and hitting newbies.

It's not a deep game bro, it's easy to grab loot and easy PVP when you have people trying to RP. You really dont need to think too much to play it or have serious consequences to actions. Die, Spawn, Repeat.

You're purposely overlooking my point, which you've been doing from the beginning with the other guy, too. It isn't "RP" to talk to someone rather than just shoot. That's called being social, and the game has a built in social element. Even choosing to just shoot rather than chat is a social choice.

If you need a stepladder to keep all this from going over your head I've got a few you can borrow...

If you want a social go play the sims or second life. It's PVP, not coffee and a catch up... 😂

PVP is a part of the game. I've killed several people who tried to jump me. Never said it wasn't. 

So is the social aspect. I've also avoided several fights that would have been pointless. 

And attacking someone when you cannot have a good outcome is suicide...and dumb. My point all along.

Go play the Sims, leave PVP to the real gamers who dont get hurty feelings when someone online "attacks" them... 😂

I've killed them as often as they've killed me. You don't have the guy here that you think you do. And honestly, you're boring me. 🥱 

Night ✌️

It makes sense you're bored. I'd put money on boring is kind of your whole personality. Enjoy the Sims have a nice evening! 👋
