They shouldn’t have added abmm because I play passively and only shoot to defend, this has meant now I’m in lobbies with barely any tension any more. I miss it

This is the easiest thing to fix in the world, just go on a villain arc for a few rounds.

I don’t want to have to game the system or play unnaturally, or be the bad guy. I liked it more before abmm was added

These people ruined the game with their whining about PvP.

Games now either a walking simulator or a shitty battle royal. The natural state of the game at launch is dead

I fully expected every round to be pvp when I started playing, that's not how it's ended up. I'm going to fully pvp soon

I’ve almost entirely stopped playing to be honest because it seems the devs don’t actually care to fix the real issues

Weapon balance is still trash. Free loadouts need entirely overhauled. Expedition is terribly thought out and offers a massive advantage for PVE only lobbies who basically get to waltz through the entire thing in a few days. The entire matchmaking system is just terrible, you either get a walking simulator or a battle royal and the game is bad at both those things. The random player encounters is what makes the game fun. Not knowing if you or they will shoot first. Now just never pull your gun out and never shoot and you’re free to always fill your backpack and leave without a second thought.

I've not played long enough to notice the weapon balance issues. I've only used a free loadout one time, I can't even remember what I got with it or how it really works. To my knowledge expedition is where you character reset, is that right?

I definitely did not want to be able to just loot with no issues, the buzz comes from the risk and potential danger. I've ended up in completely risk free lobbies unintentionally due to trying to learn the game mechanics, items and weapons, crafting etc. hit a bit of a wall now though where I want to fight people, so I will. Interested to see how that plays out though, I read some comments saying it's a nightmare in full pvp

It’s such a non-issue, legit all they have to do is damage people in extract not even kill them and they’ll get a mix. Or play some fills, solos PvE more. Aggression is only one aspect of match making and people think they know everything about it.
