Description

Hey DayZ Team.

Thanks for the continued support and updates throughout the years of developing the ever growing game that DayZ has become.

I think we need to discuss the new hotfix for exp 1.25.

So I have been playing this came for as long as I can remember and for some reason I cannot step away however this new addition to the wolves and bears meat being infected just simply doesn't make sense. 11 Years have passed since this DayZ was released and has never had infected animals to my knowledge. I find it odd that now 11 years into the development the Bears and Wolves have all of a sudden become infected overnight without any logical explanation. It now doesn't make sense at all because the risk is the bear encounter and the reward is the meat. Now there is only risk without reward, so these two animals are now kind of redundant. Its like getting to a heli-crash site or a convoy and there being nothing of use. The animal models don't even look any different to even show that they are now infected.
Every event made there is the risk and reward factor.

Heli-High mil loot
Convoy-High mil loot
Gas-Pox nade
Train wreck-Mil loot 
Chicken, cow, dear, pig, goat- Meat
Bears, Wolves, Nothing?
​​​​​​​If your going to give no reward to the risk then you might as well remove them from the game.

Additional Information

It would make more sense if the animal skins looked like they were infected animals. Like if they had patches of fur missing, walking with limps like the infected humans do. Or create a reward for killing the bear which could be bear head wear like the wolf. Just all of a sudden they are now infected just doesn't fit very well.
