This isnt about any player, this is about the game and the current rules.
If a person hides and lies down or "feigns death", he can surprise the enemy and kill them. This can not be done in other MP games and is unique to DX, like Augs. However on one of our servers we BAN a player who killed a player that was lying down. This I feel is madness. The admin is saying basically that he and other players have the right IN THE MIDDLE of a battle or battlefield, when the enemy is standing in front, to lie down and escape the bullets.
In a real battle what happens when a player lies down? Why is DX different? Why are players being kicked or banned for killing someone who stopped fighting and most often chooses very very carefully the moment to stand up and kill again...
So which should it be? Pretend to be dead? or pretend to be AFK? Are we gonna remove an aspect of DX for admin's convenience and to allow ppl to escape or to deceive enemy?
I strongly feel that every player has every right to shoot any enemy on the battlefield, ESPECIALLY if that player suddenly stops fighting and lies down right in front of the enemy, less than 2 or 3 metres away...
banning people on one server, but not every server is madness too. The rule needs to be consistent with other servers... IMO feign death should mean "I am feigning death", not "you cant shoot me, I am honestly AFK" If you need to be AFK, then you should forfeit your kill, rather than a fighter get banned for fighting...

I agree, the way I see it; if a person is going to "feign death" just so they can get a drink or something, than they deserve to be shot lol. they should just leave the server and tell everybody they'll brb.
