The possibility of betrayal is exactly what makes the social aspect fun. Like, I’d hate it if they somehow got rid of that. The problem I found with standalone was that you never even got to “This person might betray me,” it was just shoot on sight. If I wanted that I’d play Tarkov.
I think that aspect has improved, then. The player base seems to have discovered that grouping up to take on fullgears is more fun than wrestling in the mud.
It’s a mixed bag. Bambis have nothing to lose, so you’re more likely to make friends.
I’ve had a few good runs by talking to people. You get betrayed every now and then, but it’s part of the game.
