Non-proportional fun, and grievers
Surf:
A game is fun if you got control over everything your character does and can decide wether the risk of getting shot etc. is worth it or not. High level players ganking lower level players or abusing bugs ( so that you don't even see you're getting killed at map load) with no chance to defend isn't even particular fun or competive and pretty onesided, just like the OP says (non-proportional fun), thus such situations must be terminated. It's no wonder that many people leave the game shortly after experiencing situations where their characters life is depending on random or the boredom of other players with no chance to defend.

Im quite glad a mod took a liking to my post, and even added this kind of situation must be terminated.
If so, what plans do the devs have in mind? or what particular ideas or cases are being considered to change this?
I have been playing this game since March of this year, and so far this has only been my only session, however before playing this I already knew several people who used to play this game, people I met playing FOT and true Fallout fans, and out of the 8 I know, only 1 is still playing, half is waiting for wipe while the other is highly offended by the insane amount of grieving in just about everything.
I personally find the OVERLY forced PVP mechanics are what keeps all this frustration going on. Forced PVP on protected towns, forced PVP on obviously unfair situations (3 lvl 21 guys meeting an alone lvl 4 guy on the wastes), and the general lack of punishment on those who prank other people for the lulz (Harassing thieves and random bursters)
Keep the whole wasteland is harsh, keep the forced PVP mechanics, but even the abuse with balanced situations, have low lvl players unable to be pvped unless they go to an unprotected towns or so. Matchmaking at its best

Matchmaking ? In the apocalypse people wuld kill eachother for small chunks of food and drops of water. So if someone has a gun and is starving, a guy full with caps and food wuld be safe.
Matchmaking - The guy with the gun asks nicely "Hello, dear gentleman, I chalenge you to a fair duel to the death" and the guy with the stuff sayes "NO." and basicly the guy no matter how hungry he is he can't get any food because he's in the middle of the wasteland.
How it shuld be - Boom. FOOD !

Then just remove all the stats and stuff and give everyone miniguns and bazookas, and make no map just a small box where people wuld killeachother and respawn. That wuld be fun.
