I killed 1 player. It was at the water treatment extraction point on damn battlegrounds. Everyone said they were friendly. Elevator pops up, and one guy takes out his guns and starts shooting. I managed to be in a spot where I had good cover and a line of sight to his head. I knew I was in a better position. I told him to stop shooting or I would shoot back. He didn't stop shooting. I popped off my trusty anvil and he went down after a single shot to the head. My pack was full, so I didn't bother knocking him out or trying to loot him. Aside from that, I did occasionally find raiders that were already dead, but they were always already looted too.

    A lot of players are done playing PVE only and want to PvP to keep playing. This has drastically reduced the pool of peaceful lobbies. Any aggro rating above a 0 will put you into a PvP lobby now. So if you want PVE only, you don't get to shoot back or loot raiders without your next 10 games being PvP. When you go in a mob a care bear lobby, your next 20 games are PvP. In the rare occasion that someone attacked me in a PVE lobby, they wipe out everyone, I mean everyone. Not one of us shoot back. They usually find the players working together to hunt arc and kill them all in one spot. In a duo game, a team killed 10+ all in one spot, without any resistance. On the flip side when I play a PvP game, I would hate going into a lobby where nobody shot back. That is not fun at all. The people mobbing peaceful lobbies are griefers at their core and not actual PvPers.

    Sorry, but there are many players that WANT PvE. Most of them have given up and moved on because the devs didn't listen to their feedback.

    This is also my issue with the matchmaking system. Because when I defend myself I'm more likely to land in a PvP lobby. So what, my only choice is just let them kill me, or be thrown into PvP matches I already don't want to play in. No, I'm cool with not playing. The Devs could have implemented PvE mode to fix this, but they didn't. Eventually the griefers will drive everyone else away, and the game can die. Worst $40 I ever spent.
