Friend linked me this reddit

http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/2 ... t_dropped/

Thinking this is just possibly just a way to test the reaction of the community and get the feedback (as what's supposed to be intended in EA).

They are trying to fix it, but login problems were more important. Now they are getting some sleep (only 2 hours of sleep in 30 hours of work), en then they are gonna go and fix those problems probably

To be honest the amount of people that find their way to an airdrop location I'd hardly call it pay2win like people on reddit are. I've literally just watched itmeJP lose an airdrop because of all the people around it, and its so obvious where it's dropping as well so I wouldn't worry about it. If you're thinking of calling in an airdrop as well, i'd take a group of people with you or you're going to lose it haha.

I made this suggestion on reddit, but I feel the best way to fix airdrops is for the drop to not actually occur until X players are in proximity to the drop zone. So the plane/hellicopter gets to an area, sits there until X players get close, and then drops it.

That way, a single player can't go to some secluded place and get phat loot.

Yeah some people just don't look at the full picture and automatically assume without getting the facts from every angle. Had no comment at the time until I watched Cohh's recording of what's suppose to happen in the event of an airdrop.

Airdrops are making the game more fun (at least for me), it creates fun situations with full on battles for the loot.

Its definitely getting fairer as we proceed with its release week, but watching Cohh tonight using 2 airdrop tokens and losing them both to other players just tells me its 100% not p2w, and it was hilarious to watch and I bet even more so to play it!
