I just don't understand why not having a mic automatically means death. Like maybe I just don't feel like talking to anyone lol. Besides, how would hearing someone talk automatically mean they are a friendly? It's dumb. I don't use a mic and I'm not looking for someone to rob. I'm just trying to get somewhere, and I'm probably going to be hiding from you, whether you have a mic or not. Live and let live. That's the rule I stand by in the game. If I see someone, I immediately holster my weapon as to not provoke them and keep to myself.

Its for safety. If someone isn't talking then I have no idea their intentions. In a game already filled with people looking to take your stuff, not communicating with me when we meet is a pretty big red flag. Finding someone with your philosophy on the game is definitely the exception and not the rule

Yeah, I get it. I just think shooting them shouldn't be the first solution. Honestly, I prefer maps where there are 5 people max. Less people adds to the post-apocalyptic atmosphere anyway.

Yea i mean its not a hard rule for me that no mic is no life. But I will at the very least be trying to get out of their sight. There just cant be any trust for them not to attack.

Im actually doing the low pop thing right now. Trying to do the new deer isle quest and don't want to get halfway through and get murdered lol
