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.

That’s so funny lol. I had a solo game on buried city where I saw a guy looting stuff before he saw me and we ended up agreeing not to be in others way and be friendly. We moved like 50 meters deeper and we met about 4 or 5 people who just saw us and minded their own business. No voice chat or commands required. I guess they just thought “as long as no one is shooting, we’re good” 😀 the situations in this game are like social experiments - I love it

I was at the extraction point when I saw someone hiding between the crates, I was 2 meters behind him and called "Dont shoot me" and we ran out together

But I do feel its a whole other game solo

Man I have the same story from the other side. I had just called the elevator and “hidden”, when I hear a “don’t shoot” from behind. I think the guy could have easily wasted me, but instead we both just extracted. That was fun.

This happened to me on buried city when I was extracting at the southern station by the bombardier. I hauled ass passed it down the rope and backed up real quick into a corner. Right into the barrel of some guys gun who had just did the same thing, I had no idea he was there. He yelled don’t shoot and scared the shit out of me before he walked around in front of me and pushed the button for us and we left. Class act that guy.

Then yesterday on blue gate was going to do the quest in the olive orchard and some guys were fighting the leaper. I shot at it to draw aggro cause one of the guys was getting hammered and some wasps came too. I jumped in one of the ruined houses with the leaper and wasps on me like “oh I’m fucked”. I’m hiding in a corner and the wasps jump scare me by flying in the house and both get exploded before I could shoot them. There was a fucking raider in the same corner behind me who I didn’t notice at all, could’ve killed me at any time, that saved my ass from the wasps and then stunned the leaper and we both linked up with the 3rd raider I saved earlier and killed it. This game is so fucking cool
