OR....and bear with me on this one, You merely misinterpret the purpose and style of gameplay that this brilliant piece of gaming art has to offer. This game is just about as hardcore as you're going to find. Everything goes. No rules except using a cheat/exploit to get an unfair advantage of others. This game is built around the concept that it's defined by the players. Your character in game is just as evil or nice as you decide to make them. No karma meter, no nothing. You can kill every player you ever see, embrace them as friends, meet them with a stony glare as you both reach for your weapons. You can donate your gear, sell it, use it, throw it away, scrap it, use it to kill others/npc's. You can attack any NPC and kill them, nothing is invincible, everything dies.
You keep pointing out excellent points and failing to understand them. This IS A GAME WITH WASTELAND THEME. There has been a nuclear war IN THE GAME. LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND MORE ARE DYING DAILY. THERE IS A NEED TO BE HARSH THE GAME REVOLVES AROUND IT, did you ever consider that? You believe this game should be carebear friendly, Devs/Most players disagree with you.If you wan't to play a carebear game try this. http://www.hellokittyonline.com
The only exploit involved abusing your intelligence
If you are so influential why not try enticing a group of players so that you dont have to play solo.
