DayZ is a great game, I have made countless memories here and don't plan on stopping any time soon, however the loot spawn rates and dispersion need to be heavily adjusted. Anytime I watch Toprec on Youtube I see him having the most interesting gunfights, when I watch runningmanz I see him having the best encounters. That is because they are on modded servers where the loot is dispersed in more of an interesting way than official. The clothing for one is not interesting and I can't wait to get into better looking combat gear like the bdu, patrol, and field uniforms. There needs to be a chance to get military and hunter clothing in towns be it a slim chance. A lot of clothing should be out right removed from the game as most people don't even touch it when they see it. Examples like the zmiovkas and crop hiking pants need to be removed entirely. Hiking boots, hiking pants, puffer coats, jumpsuit jackets, jumpsuit pants, flight jackets, the winter coif, all of the suit pants and suit jackets and much more need to be remodeled. Clothing needs to be more common and spawn in areas like bedrooms instead of in kitchens and business areas. In short we need a clothing overhaul.

All tier 4 military gear needs to be dispersed better. Gas zones are underwhelming and tedious as they hardly spawn what you want, forcing you to reloot the same area up to 5 times. You should be guaranteed at least 2 suppressors and 2 tier 4 guns in gas zones every time. There should only be one military convoy spawned in at a time and it should only spawn every 6 hours, spawning six tier 4 items at a time. Making military convoys the best find in the game. Helicopter crashes should guarantee 1 tier 4 item and no gun/equipment should be specific to any areas such as gas zones, heli crashes and military convoys. There should also be an extremely slim chance to find tier 4 guns of any kind in Tisy MB or tier 3 areas on Livonia. Finally, make the DMR the rarest gun in the game as it is the best gun damage wise.

Changing the way that loot spawns will change how people play the game and will be less enticing for people to duplicate gear. I myself will never dupe gear as it truly takes the fun out of the game but I can see why people are getting bored and don't want to spend a full 12 hours getting a heavily geared character. If you go inland on official it is a ghost land. Everyone gets into gunfights in one to two areas on Chernarus. Livonia is a different story if you want a gunfight you better be ready to get killed by a white walling duper or if you win the gunfight you better be ready to get bum rushed by a pack of freshies that will strip your body and then log out because guess what, you're in Lukow. They are logging out, and stashing that gear and not touching it for days. I'm not saying that loot shouldn't be rare but there has to be a way to entice people to play the game in more of a way that was intended. The longer this game is out the more people turn to cheating or exploiting the game because the loot is dispersed poorly.
