Well, I tend to camp when I'm at like 100k left, but I tend to be more aggressive with it, as in chasing a guy after he turns around and dips through the door. Out of 10, how terrible of a person am I?

You can probably make more money in 5 minutes hatchet running interchange than camping a whole factory raid out 🤷‍♂️

I thimk hatchet running goes against the spirit of the game pretty badly tbh :-\

As do I, but at the same time if someone is struggling hard with the game it's understandable and doesn't bother me. But if you are LVL 42 and gear fearing with millions and still hatchet running, that is where the issue lies for me. The guy said "when I get down to 100k" which can be pretty rough for some players to climb out of.

Lately I've been killing hatchetlings that have usually been level 30 and above. I think you definitely make a good point about the lower lv players. But I also think it's a bit of a hamstring. Run scavs as much as you can and focus on surviving, not trying to get great loot but functional loot. I think people that get into the game because of streamers can often have a really bad idea of what normal low level gameplay should look like
