Since the last update it appears that any useful items have become so scarce that there is very little incentive to explore the map due to the food and hydration consumption and risk of zombie damage/bandit threat versus the chance of finding ant useful items, this may make the DayZ world more realistic but the game has lost it's "fun factor" previous updates encouraged a player to explore the map as the reward of finding sought after items such as M4s, attachments, clothing items. now I'm stuck in Cherno with nothing to do. there is no point heading to another town as there is nothing there anyway, the mil bases/airstrips etc are essentially empty, netting for ghillie suits are so rare the hunt for them is not worth the time of resources and as a result the admin of so many public servers are kicking everyone in order to maximize their chances of finding these items themselves that I have to join 4-8 servers before I find one that will let me in, adding up the penalty wait times it's barely worth bothering.

I started playing this game a few moths ago with 5 friends, now I'm the only one playing as everyone else has lost interest. To be honest it was more fun with all of the bugs an performance issues because at least there was a reason to play...
