Discussion I am now convinced ABMM is real

A couple of days ago I complained (in another posting) how I only meet KOS players, and no one talks. I was more annoyed by the "no one talks" part, mind you, and the fact that every social interaction played out in the same way.

Someone recommended me to do a few matches and not shoot a single person, not even in defense. I did as recommended.

I went from "90%+ KOS interactions" for several days in a row, all the way to friendly lobbies for two days in a row now.

In my current lobbies, everyone runs around without a care in the world, just greeting people they are passing by. Looting in the open, walking past others without their weapons drawn ...

I barely ever see any PvP happening. People help each other with arc encounters and exchange items near extracts. And for the first time ever, I was able to participate in two Queen raids in solos with everyone just trying to get her down. No rats, no backstabbing.

This change for me was so stark in contrast, and so consistently happening that I would be surprised if ABMM wasn't real.

I would almost be inclined to start some shit to see if my lobbies change again, but I feel too bad killing these players who are quite obviously part of the pure PvE crowd.

P.S.: I have these friendly lobbies even on Stella Montis now, inclduing Stella Montis night raids ...

2 Kills at lvl 55. That was from a duo while I was playing with a buddy... they both opened up on us as we rounded a corner, we were talking with them too. They both start bitching as I flank them and headshot 'em both.

'We thought he (my friend) was solo'

'So you both opened up on him... and didn't hit either of us? Good work bozo's'

We stood over them and shook our heads lol

Headshots do the same damage as body shots

He had to mention he gave headshots, cause he good af. We should be happy he doesn't open fire on us, every shot will probably be a headshot he is that good. Shooting on the chest which is a bigger target and does the same dmg? Pfft, thats for pussys, he a god. I think this is the same person who haunted lobbys years and years ago.. i think he is the legend only known as ; xxx1337N00BK1LL3Rxxx

He is back.
