<u>'''''FACT:'''''</u> Humans baiting hunted animals predates recorded history by tens of thousands of years. There is positively no abuse, ''zero abuse whatsoever,'' in the application of bait in this game in order to increase the chances of a successful hunt and bag big game animals.

<u>'''''FACT:'''''</u> In nature, there are even certain species of animal that use baits to lure prey animals to their death, often straight into the gapping maw of the predator itself! (ie: the Angler Fish, which you can read all about here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish)

Why is the real-world use of bait to lure animals into more vulnerable situations, making them easier targets to take, considered an abuse of game mechanics by some people? If any of you wish to promote this belief, first contend with the two facts above and prove why such primitive yet effective methods should be excluded from this game!

Clearly, these beliefs are held by pure blooded city-folk; people who have not spent any time away from the creature comforts of their homes to explore the wilderness beyond; people who have not hunted a day in their lives nor practiced wildlife photography of any kind, but still see fit to preach from their armchairs as though they were experts on the subject!

This game is about survival. It is not about artificial "challenge", which they would have imposed arbitrarily in an effort to lock out perfectly natural, "easier" methods of accomplishing the goal of actually surviving --- all because it doesn't satisify some people's need for adrenaline.

It's because of people like this that we still, inexlipicably, are unable to craft one of mankind's most primitive yet versitile surival instruments: the humble spear! But we can craft bows and arrows, knives, and chopping/bludgeoning instruments... it's just mindblowing!

So, people say that they want some sort of an adrenaline rush from playing this game? You might playing the wrong game, if that's the case! Might I suggest that Call of Duty may be more to your speed and liking?
