Just disable PvP or make it optional at Dark Zone.
We know this is not the concept you had for Dark Zone but looking at this problem....... I consider this would be a good fix because every player could play as he/she want. So if he/she cheat in game, it wont bother other players.
When you fix the cheating issue, then you can reactivate the initial PvP concept for Dark Zone
if they do not do this no one on PC will stick around. no one on consoles will either. DZ is a failed idea. PvP needs to be in a battleground or arena to work properly...... when it prevents someone from progressing their character it is a broken game model.
if this function is not added into 1.2 I will not ever play this game again. as of right now im not playing until 1.2 comes out. I wish I never bought this game.
