In effort to speed up my matchmaking times I selected several EU servers on top of the US East/Central servers.
Let me just tell you, the Europeans are so much more kind and less toxic.
I consider myself a friendly PMC when the situation is applicable and am willing to team up with scavs and PMC's alike. To put it into perspective: on my recent Lighthouse adventures in NA (a good 30 raids) I have been betrayed so many times by "friendly" people that it is absolutely insane. The last time I saw a low-level Timmy squad I asked them if they needed some help because they were clearly questing. They excitedly said "that would be awesome! Thank you so much!" We got the quest done for them and in effort to sweeten the deal I was about to reach into my secure container and hand them a FIR MTube only to get shot in the face at the very last moment before extracting.
On the other side of the pond, I have not been betrayed once on either scav runs or PMC raids. I could be full of thick loot as a PMC after farming rogues, see another squad and exchange goodies. I also had a guy drop me a Trooper armor and a kitted M4 as we extracted together (both of us being PMCs).
Has anybody had a similar experience? I don't care about the gear or rubles to be honest because it is easy to get rich in this game and they're just pixels but I have to say, it makes my time in Raid so much more enjoyable.
