    So this just happened.....

    Im on my alt trying to get these last 10 elite kills in the dark zone to knock out the weekly before the reset and i fast travel to a checkpoint. I walk in the zone and wouldnt ya know, a supply crate dropped a street over from me. I thought to myself "Hey....my lucky day. I can get my 10 kills, nab a boss and 15 PC for the crate and get out so i can switch to my main.."

    So i run down the street and pulse the enemies. Only 7, but its good enough. So im about 100 feet away....so far, so good. This is ALL me. I wipe out the 7, grab the credits from the boss (the high end surprisingly wasnt the "best gear in the game" so i left it) and as im securing the crate, i get mugged by 3 rogues!!

    So i proceeded to dust myself off. No crying. No nasty messages to the rogues calling them cheaters and scum. Didnt rush to the forums demanding dark zone changes or im trading in my game. Didnt cry about "griefers" and being forced into a situation i knew beforehand was a possibility (more likely a probability.) I mean really....trying to run solo, after doing it so many times before, i knew it would catch up to me and my luck would run out eventually. Nope....I respawned, went to the construction site, cleared it out and moved on.

    See.....not every visit to the dark zone is a catastrophe.

    I spent three hours today in the DZ. Went Rogue a couple times by accident, helped end a Man Hunt twice, filled up with so much loot we kept having to go back to break some of it down and for some damn reason after almost 200hrs playing the game and 45 DZ levels it finally started to drop Nomad gear. Well, gloves and holsters actually but it was raining the damn things. Too bad none of them had decent enough stats to actually use.
    I downed a solo player by accident so we revived him and invited him to the group. I try not to mess with the solo players. Another squad, that is a different story.

    today i was approached as a solo by another solo in the DZ. he gave me a wave and sent me an invite, so i joined. as i was looking on the map for the nearest landmark, he booted me and killed me.

    i just laughed. he must be really bad if that is the only way he can kill someone. in most cases i would run him down and get revenge but i had no patience for that, so i just signed off.

    but thats the variety of the DZ that i honestly think this game needs. PVE in this game is boring. IF you had fun getting to lVL 30 then fine, it was ok. but after that this game doesnt have any PVE in my opinion, unless you consider playing the same mission 50 times PVE. thats just boring.

    the DZ is supposed to be dangerous, and sometimes you cant even trust your own teammates. its fun that way. the stuff that happens in there can be frustrating and yet sometimes hilarious

    Players will still leave the game, griefing as core concept is a fail concept from the Get-go. Sure it adds tension but real pvp games add even more tension becouse all that matter is your skill unlike in this Game.

    Shut the front door? You did that?

    We need more of YOU, and less of THEM.

    I am assuming you mean more people who play the game understanding what the DZ is, and not people who complain about it all the time?

    I agree, if that is what you mean. I solo a lot in the DZ and you run your risks when doing so.
