Let’s talk about the Scav Rep system

Curious what everyone's opinion is on the current system.

I like the system overall but I wish it was a tad more forgiving. When you're at anything over 6 Rep, a single scav on scav kill, intentional or not, puts you below 6. But below 6, you get a slap on the wrist.

For example I killed a player scav by mistake, and I completely accepted my fate and let some other pscavs slaughter me after we cleared put the PMCs. I was at ~6.50 and that simple mistake set me back -.60 points.

Next raid I had fat loot, and I killed an AI scav out of frustration, and only lost -.03. I'm fine next raid, scavs like me again.

I understand that past a certain point of 6 rep that losing -.03 is nothing. If I had 8 rep and killed a pscav for fat loot it would be no punishment whatsoever to lose -.03

And I get that there should be punishment there, but I wish there was a way to "Apologize" or something. Maybe gesture or something to a fellow player scav.

What ways would you improve the rep system? Or do you think it's fine how it is?
