I've played since the Arma 2 mod and seen this game grow.

I'm that player that gets vegetable seeds and plants gardens next to the beaches to give new players free food...
I've found unconscious players and given them saline and blood to revive them...
I wander around aimlessly and enjoy the atmosphere and kill zombies where ever I go...

They all end the same way:
Middle of hoeing land. I'm killed on site.
He wakes up and attacks me. I'm killed on site.
Not a sound. Not a person in sight. "You are dead" pops up on my screen. I'm killed on site.

Is there no trust anymore? Do all open-world games devolve into shoot first, ask questions later? Kill on site.
It nearly drives me to drink. The only game I know where punching someone is way more effective than any melee weapon.
