Redzone will be leaving us... I have listened and watched over the last few weeks and it is simply not working out and not for us.
Although I have only had a couple experiences in the redzone by which there was any sort of fire fight, what I have seen is there is no RP involved except by team members. I guess a team, or individual can make a little bank. And I suppose there is a certain satisfaction to holding a zone, or zones. But all I see is It's kill, or be killed. Shoot first, loot, and maybe ask questions later. Looks more like a military conquest. And it doesn't seem to matter who is involved.
I know I have harped on the subject regarding the Island by which SOME people seem to find more pleasure in robbing, killing, looting RDM, VDM, and anything else they can find to amuse themselves at the expense of others. Rather than finding something positive to do, with some good RP. The crime rate on the island is out of control lol.
Maybe have one of the outer Islands designated were people can go and have it out with each other, away from the mainland... Maybe, a new redzone that offers a nice bounty for the group that holds that area. And if those people stray off that little area, they get banned for 3 months before they can appeal. 2nd offense is 6 months, 3 strikes your banned for life.
Maybe that would keep those few looking for blood off the main island and away from regular citizens just trying to enjoy life on the island. The same 3 strikes should also apply for offenses on the mainland. I mean if people are unwilling to follow the rules, and derive pleasure in the suffering of others, Then how is that benefiting the game, or other players... I joined this game to have fun, meet new people, and have some quality RP. Not to fear for my digital life at every turn, or be robbed just trying to earn a few bucks.
Point in fact, a couple weeks ago I was pulled over by a couple BUSTERS. It all seemed ok in the beginning, They were just asking questions, when they pulled their weapons and the game was afoot. They knocked me out 5 times while they laughed, shot up my vehicle, robbed me, then left while laughing. The whole time, I was trying to RP with them. But they were not interested. Those are the sort of people who ruin the game. And unfortunately, there are a lot of people just like that running unchecked on the island. And why didn't I report them? Well, I was so PISSED at what was happening, I had forgot to take screen shots lol. I was just out for a Sunday drive in my new Jeep. Enjoying the game when all that crap went down. Ruined it that did.
Anyway, lol. sorry. an opinion turned into a rant. probably not the place for that. Seems that's all I do lately is rant. Well, that's enough from me... I guess I need to find a way to enjoy the game, or leave it.
