I have no problem with the difficulty of the game or the realism it tries to provide. However, it seems like these type of games almost always promotes trolling and ganking. The main reason is because there really are no consequence for these actions. It ends up being almost like a gambling game where you hope you gather a lot of resources and can get the jump on someone else before you die. I am sure there is entertainment value in this type of gameplay, but it's disingenuous to dress it up as some kind of realistic horror survival game.
