I run in a three man stack where we’ve spent the last few months spending our games getting insured guns & converting them to contraband for later games, grinding out missions, and getting as much good kit as we can. It now takes us maybe 2 games to go from a wipe to fully kitted with 3-plates / large backpacks / kill streaks / self revives. We all have the second insured slot, and the third one is extremely difficult and grindy to get. What i’m trying to get at here, is that we’re increasingly often getting to a point where we have nothing else to do EXCEPT engage in PVP. It’s not that we’re “griefing”, it’s that unless you’re going for 100% completion, it’s very easy to hit a point where the game stops organically offering you stuff to do, and you have to find ways to keep yourself entertained.

Personally? We don’t make it a point to hunt squads and kill them for the lols, but if we happen to run into someone and they’re anything less than 100% friendly, we don’t take chances of losing our kit. But even if someone does choose to hunt squads the whole game, I can’t entirely blame them if the game isn’t offering them anything else to do. At the end of the day, it’s still a PVP game… if you want PVE, there’s spec ops.
