ding ding ding! we have a winner!
the initial point of the whole Day-z thing was SURVIVAL and banding up together to survive, with the occasional bit of pvp maybe between survival groups.
but of course... everyone is such an elitist these days that the whole "banding to work together" thing gets thrown out the window for "hahahaha GET REKT n00b!"
it is what the players make of it.... and since almost everyone basically has this mentality and kills on sight....that's the way it is
edit: I'm more for the running about, killing zombies, randomly meeting passers by... than get uber kit, sit on a hill, snipe freshspawns from 1 click away
