crying/whining/moaning... please stop?

I apologize in advance to anyone that may take offense to this or anyone who may hold high emotional value on an opinion regarding these topics.

I'm not trying to be inconsiderate here but can all of you PLEASE stop moaning about things like cooldowns, full loot drop, PKers, thieves, Suicide PKers, etc... There are solutions for all of those things and these solutions do not involve developers. They involve YOU, the player.

Cooldowns: No one said you're only allowed to craft and gather during your days on FOnline.

Full loot drop: "WARNING: This game may not be suitable for young players. You may die in this game and there is no save function!" - copied and pasted from the top of the forums. If there are players waiting right at the exit grid, there is a high chance they are tent followers. Check for the military style V over their heads, if it is present they are going to follow you. If they follow you out to wastes just click their name on the left hand side and select the button that has 3 men and an arrow pointing leftwards.

PKers: If someone kills you in an unguarded town, what does that tell you? Unguarded towns aren't safe. Do you go there again under the same conditions? no. If someone kills you right under Hub twice, do you: A) walk through that square again hoping you'll miss the encounter, OR B) walk 1 square to the left and continue on your way, with FAR less chance of being PKed.

Thieves: A bunch of bluesuits are touching your ass even while you flee and/or push them away. Do you decide to do a big 10k trade with Sha Enin? If you're a moron or a VERY quick trader, then yes.

Suicide PKers: It's pretty simple. Stay away from large groups of people but stay close to guards. If you notice 2 people walking in unison and towards you, they may have planned to team suicide pk you (one shooter, one looter). Your options are to run and stay out in the open where the guards can see you. The only time Suicide PKers will seek you out is if they know you have good gear, low enough hp to 1 shot and are far enough away from the rest of the NPC/player populace that they will get all the loot. SO, don't show off your metal armor mk2 if you're level 4. OH and don't chill in NCR thinking you have no chance of dying. If you aren't level 15-21, carry nothing in NCR. If you want to trade with vendors, scope out what items they have currently and run to your tent to grab a few items for a small trade. I never run into NCR with stuff thinking I'm going to make tons of trades so I always trade with the vendors before I even get my items from tent. If no caps are available and you want to quickly get rid of some junk items, then trade for ammo. BB's are great because they hold good value throughout many wasteland merchants.

Anytime you go anywhere but your tent/base, expect to die and lose everything on you. There are risks involved with everything on FOnline, your job is to factor in those risks and make intelligent and rational decisions to ensure your characters best interests are met.

avv:
It's pretty obvious that whining won't help. But the "fixes" you offer don't provide much comfort, except when it comes to full drop and cooldowns. They may be the way to play the game right now but who says we aren't allowed to question them?

For example suicide pks don't make much sense in terms of fallout background story or rational gameplay (why play a char that you intentionally drive in certain death?), these are sufficient reasons to question them.

That should be writen by big letters on "Get started" page. We might not see an hundreds word long story how one get tent robbed, then brought the robber back to his tent to give him his stuff back and got robbed again with nice suggestion "do something". ;)

The only real problem is the suicide pking, that should be fixed but other then that stuff like thieving, pking in encounters, tent following and so on can be dealt with with wits&reason. 

набегат:
i agree with topic starter. It's wasteland - it should be harsh

borse:
I know, suicide pking is a mind fuck and a half. You can't be sure who is following you and who isn't. You can't be sure what anyone's motives really are either. I'll post another remedy to Suicide PKers.
