This is one of the primary reasons I think PS will be gone sooner than later (it might pick up some afterlife players once it hits the bargain bins though). I haven't been playing all that long (only a bit over a week now) and I'm already fed up with the game because of this and a few other reasons.
I RTFM and went through all the tutorials and was promptly walked all over when I went online. When I asked how I could survive in the game for more than 2 seconds I got a bunch of "Fuck off stupid noob!" answers until someone finally told me I needed to join a squad. That's easier said than done for a new player though. In a week of playing I have been in exactly 1 squad for all my LFS advertising because nobody wants low level noob players in their squad unless they have some special skill. And if they have a special skill that means they didn't cert into something that they should have early on and will die horribly no matter what people do to protect them.
I wasn't able to kill a damn thing until I found out you can run down people and kill them instantly with the vehicles. I have a total of 3 non-vehicular homicides to my credit now. And a whole lot of people that are bitching that I'm a noob for doing things that way but fuck 'em, this is war!
