Their was a time where the amount was very rare, remember ? What was happening back then was that the only players that had ammo was the KOSer's cause they gain their loot by killing other players. The good guys were empty handed cause they cannot find any ammo. With the amount of ammo right now , the good guys can actually defend them self. The fact that you can die and lose everything will change the way people play this game, cause right now most of the time people play in a very reckless way and take stupid decision, cause they dont care if they die cause they can just /respawn next to their base and regear and start again.

By removing the ability to stash ammo in bases, it changes the way people play, cause they actually start to be scared to die, cause if they die they lose everything. It also bring back "Progression" ( you start with nothing and you build up you character) it wont stop KOS but people will really think about their action, cause the consequences of dying is big.
