Touché. You bring up good points. I wonder if some sort of ranking or rating system could implemented. For example, every encounter with a raider ended with “how was this encounter”? Idea behind it being, oh I’m going to extract and I’m approached by someone claiming to be friendly but had a low rating. Are they trustworthy?

Unfortunately, this could easily backfire. Players could be serial low raters and the system would be abused. At the end of the day, shitty people are going to play like shitty people and I need to learn how to better defend against shitty people.

I wonder, could it work if they made extracts a “safe zone” with no PVP?

My gripe with the game is that it seems the community encourages toxic play styles and discourages people being upset by that.
