    Make NPCs justice squads chase Rogues and going rogue permanent in the DZ

    I think the model works well but it does need to be tweaked. For example, I tend to run around the highest DZ areas with some pals. Rogues never come up there. But, if in a lower area we tend to follow an avoidance policy. Yeh we run. We're really not interested in duking it out and losing some XP and funds. Too old. However, clearly there are people who are aggreived. Roaming 4+ gangs need more of a challenge.

    NPC Justice Squads
    So how about any flagged rogue should be set upon by insta spawn NPC Riker/LMB etc Justice Squads. These NPCs follow the rogues to the ends of the earth (or Dark zone). So, yes by all means go rogue and shoot people. But, you'll always be on the move, chased by justice squads. Which means you cannot camp without having an almighty bunfight. UBI propbably expected everyone to fight. But that is not happening, people are either running or not going the DZ. This should even the playing field.

    PERMANENT ROGUE STATUS AFTER 2 KILLS
    Also, if you kill 1 person that defines you as a permanent rogue for the duration of your visit to the DZ (+30 mins if you leaves the DZ). Drop the silly timer, that allows the cowards to get out of jail and go greifing all over again. Once a rogue you are a rogue. I don't think rogues would complain. From what I read here rouges are proud to be rogues. The timer can stay for when you injure a player (normally by accident in our case). That's it.

    You actually sholdn;t be a Rogue until you actually KILL somebody. This 1 bullet & go Rogue is stupid. Will keep aholes from blocking for their Rogue buddies.

    DZ is a lawless zone, so there wouldn't be any logical NPC Justice squads. And I'm certain Rikers and LMB don't care if you kill other Division agents. There can only be PC Justice squads, and that still requires changing the rogue system. A short timer really doesn't help promote PvP activities. How, if you are hunting these rogues, can you hunt them if their rogue just turns off? If you shoot them after that YOU'LL be the rogue, and that's hardly the intent of those chasing after rogues. Rouges should indeed stay rogue. The system as it was designed is just a bad idea on paper put into motion. They only thing we second wave agents should have goin for us is that what we do in the Dark Zone, stays in the Dark Zone. That also means we go rogue in the dark zone, we stay rogue in the dark zone.

    Though just having permanent rogue triggered from killing someone would immediately ruin the experience of someone who did not go rogue intentionally, and had to fight it out else loose a bunch of exp. So once again, the trigger for rogue needs to be changed. Instead of going rogue from doing damage or killing, it should be by choice without having to fire a shot. Meanwhile, damage against non-hostile agents is turn off unless you are of course rogue. This method would only ruin it for gankers, griefers, and punks. But **** those guys. We need some real PvP, not hit and run surprise kill ********.
