The rich get richer.
Maybe it's pointless. Who am I to say anything if the aim of the server is to cultivate a group of veteran players who only serve to drive away newer players with endless OP vehicles and rockets.
It is not a good sign when every day that I am in game I see someone complain about the state of affairs, but that this is the only server with people so if they want to play Dayz they have no real choice as it's " this server or nothing. That makes the server basically Walmart.
It's like the server is torn between being the last bastion of the glory days of the Dayz mod, and being something that caters to players that should be playing COD or some other simple mindless shoot and kill game. For every established player in a venom or chukar saying "what you still role play like you're in a zombie apocalypse game?", there are 10 players that come in saying they haven't played in 5-10 years and are so happy to be playing. That sentiment never lasts long because unlike the game that they remember, this has players with magical missiles. Instead of pandering to the simple griefers, I wish the last decent Dayz server would act like the last decent Dayz server.
If the established players with all their toys and elite OP vehicles are paying the server bills then I understand. If they are not, well, the server is missing out on a lot of funding potential purely because of the OP vehicle people ruining it for most newcomers. You'd retain a more full dynamic player base if there were some semblance of balance.
