>>31409093The problem is that at the end of the day, Rust is a PVP game. You're supposed to grief other people, you're supposed to raid their base and ruin their day, etc. It's not REALLY a game to be played entirely on a server of friends, you're supposed to fuck over strangers with your friend group.
That said I feel like they should be able to script rivalries and heel turns and the like and develop factions that war with each other. Otherwise playing Rust is kinda pointless, there are better resource + base building games out there (i.e. Minecraft)
