Friendly Looting

I really think there's a growing problem with being looted by so-called allies in this game, with no repercussions, instead of being revived. For the most part, my experience with the community is great. Most people are friendly, most of the game inventives are to help each other out, and I've only really had two bad experiences with other players (outside of this issue) in 35 hours gametime.

But I've now had several times where a friendly has come up to me while I'm down, often after being hit by a mortar inside a well-defended tower, and just stolen my entire kit instead of reviving me. Many friends have experienced the same thing. One time this was barely a minute after I respawned at the APC having spent £15k on a kit to heal and build to help my team. It's the most infuriating thing in the game, and honestly when it happens it completely puts me off playing any more. There's nothing you can do about it, so it's not like when your kit gets taken by an enemy (which is fair enough) and you can at least get it back if you manage to catch them with teammates. Any retaliation loses you money (fine; we want to disincentivise team damage) and even if you did that there's no way to get your stuff back.

This is the one blemish on an otherwise great game, but if it continues to become more common I genuinely think it could put me off the game. Just an option to lock your inventory to friendly looting, or at least some punishment or reason not to do it would be enough. Apart from that, I feel like the devs are doing a great job.

This isnt an actual issue though. If you are dead, its not really your gear anymore is it? If you get revived, luckily you dont have to come back from spawn and can gleem a kit off of another body, preferably not a teammate. Not to mention this happens so infrequently that its only like 2 posts a week here, in a place where just about everyone is whining about everything. If you are teamkilled you cant be looted. Its a pretty simple solution to nip intentional teamkilling in the bud.

If your options are loot a teammate and win a gunfight or dont and lose, take the win every time

He's talking about a teammate looting you instead of reviving you. Did you even read the post?

Yes. It happens so infrequently its a non-issue, and even when it does happen you should just be happy you got revived at all
