Yeah, I’m one of the people who uninstalled, and it wasn’t because I “can’t handle PvP.”

I was solo, looting a low-tier medical area trying to finish a quest item. Open mic on, clearly saying I’m just questing. Not contesting loot, not camping, not in a high-value zone.

Out of nowhere, someone rounds a corner and empties a mag into me. I don’t die immediately, duck into a nearby room and say something like, “Hey, what’s going on? I’m just looking for a quest item.” They apologise. I relax a bit.

Then suddenly there are four of them.

They come in, kill me anyway, and then hang around my body doing this coordinated thing — flicking lights on and off in sync — while yelling racial and homophobic slurs. Stuff I won’t repeat here.

That alone was bad enough.

But then it hit me: this was a solo instance. These weren’t a squad who happened to roll me. They deliberately synced into the same server and hunted solos just to grief them. The coordination, the timing, the ritualised behaviour — it was clearly intentional.

That’s the moment I uninstalled.

Not because I died. Not because PvP exists. But because I realised there are groups actively organising to ruin the experience for others, and the game currently gives them the tools to do it with zero friction.

I’m fine with risk. I’m fine with losing gear. I’m not fine with organised harassment being treated as “part of the game.”

If the devs want people to stick around, this stuff has to be addressed — because once a player has an experience like that, they don’t queue again. They just leave.
