The dev's are shady, but they are good dev's. DayZ dev was way worse.
You said your biggest gripe is that they are putting a mechanic in that makes you unable to play the game. I think that is stupid. They put a mechanic in that makes survival most important, as it really should be in a hardcore zombie sim. Originally it was to be normal mode = 5 characters and 24hour revive time. With Hardcore mode being 1 life. Are you against Hardcore mode? 1 life charaters? IF so why do you like DayZ.
Normal is 1 hour again. We literally die once in a hour. The revive time is not a big deal, but adds a value to surviving. Also makes killing other players feel that much better. You can go a whole night and only get one kill, and it will still feel epic. Its fucking rad.
your second argument was that the dev's are money sucking the players which is complete shit. $13 for the game and there is no need to ever get anything in the store for $$. Trading will be big in this game not game store. But seriously how can you think they are gyp'ing people when you own shit like BF3-Premium? What sort of crack do you smoke?
