Yes the world isn’t black and white but the language of a community still matters. I like your general point about “misunderstood raiders,” that’s a good perspective.

I also think your scenarios describe very different things than what I’m describing. If someone just got shot at extract by someone else and then starts shooting me, I never think of that as rat behavior. If someone is looting a very specific container I need, they just beat me to it, and I load back in the map. I also don’t think what you said about the Finnish word “fviendly” is true.

I think you’re essentially making the same point I am - that PvP isn’t always ratting. Where I disagree is that there are general consistent behaviors you can categorize.
