    Share item system is setup to encourage players to act like scum...

    Why do you have a drop item system for sharing loot. I would like to suggest a confirm trade system so that you eliminate scammers. I know you arent going to do anything about my particular situation, but I knew there was a possibility of the player Dark Legend8500 taking the item I dropped for him with the agreement he would drop the strikers pack he had gotten... You had to know this would happen when you incorporated the trade system. I am going to voice this opinion everywhere I can find until the community is shouting for it at every patch. It would be a far better system if you placed the trade item in the menu for the players in group management. Then in a window you can place the items for trade up for inspection. Only after both players confirm the trade does the item transfer simultaneously completely removing the possibility of being scammed. This one thing alone is very likely to cost you players. You put a limit on the raid drops, and now i gave a kid the benefit of the doubt because your system allows for human nature to take place. So I have to wait a week before I can get another item to replace it...

    The DZ concept is setup to encourage players to act like scum as well.

    The fact we have any swap system at all is good enough. The answer to your problem is DONT drop items for anyone but friends. It's not really intended to be used with strangers, especially since it's based on the morality of others, which is highly questionable almost all the time. Sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you knew the risks going in, I wouldn't have bothered.

    All pvp in every game is for that. The trade system in pve should be in place just as friendly fire is not allowed in pve

    I did know the risk. Which is why Im not asking for it to be undone. I am asking for a better system so we can utilize trading without having to worry about the lowest of the low. Anybody against the change and possibly those with no wish for it to change can have only one reason for that mindset. So I would suggest nobody trade with that last guy...

    Hate to say it, but thats your fault. If you knew the dude was not your friend...you should have waited for him to drop the item first. Sometimes you have to be smart about it. Even with your friends...you have to be smart about trading. If you know you have the moral of trading on good terms. Then you wait for the other person to drop what you want before you drop what they want. Sorry man...kind of your own fault. His Scum bag self knew you would do it....play smarter.

    Every aspect of this game is designed to make people rage, and call each other names. They allow Proximity chat in the Dark Zone. Not once have I heard people being nice on it. Just today I had a full grown man calling me some very horrible names as he and his friends killed me and took the stuff I worked really hard to get.

    Nothing about this game is nice.. Don't trust anyone. Not even friends.
