    A concern

    Well i know with most RPG's online open world there are groups that just camp and kill low level for lol's. My main concern is will there be a type of protection for low levels from high level thiefs?

    They have stated in multiple interviews that the matchmaking system will put you in zones with "Like minded players". I expect it will put people with others of the same level, possibly keep track of whether you pvp a lot or not, and hopefully it'll have some sort of a reputation system where you can rate people you've run into and people who hunt low level players will find that due to their low reputation they won't be able to find their preferred targets.

    They have also stated that PVP happens in the "Dark Zones" so theoretically you could just avoid those areas completely and not have to worry about that situation.

    Based on the map seen in the police station, it looks like there are designated extraction zones, so you may not even have to use the flare to extract, thereby avoiding the PVP associated with extraction.

    I really don't like the idea that PvP will only happen in Dark Zones. It really takes away from the real feeling. Plus, people will rarely go into Dark Zones if they know it'll get them killed. I'm pretty let down with this information.

    Dark Zones will probably be high risk/high reward gameplay

    Most likely. That's why they found a military grade weapon in the police station, it was in a dark zone so they got a better than average drop.

    You know what's funny? People disappointed by dark zones being vacant are most likely the guys doing all the camping and the guys who want to avoid the dark zones are the guys who are most likely to complain about the lack of great equipment. Can't wait to play this game. I'm going to have fun with this.

    Probably true. At the same time it's disappointing to have only one place filled with the premium gear. You'd think the chances were higher in one place than the other. It should be possible to get good gear in regular areas, but more exotic and unique items in the other area at a higher rate. Say 1:10 in one place 1:5 in the other.

    I very much doubt they'll eliminate entirely the option for people to get the good gear outside the dark zones. It will probably be like you said. Dark Zone you'll have a 1 in 10 chance of finding something really good, outside the dark zone it'll be more like 1 in 100.
