Man you are really obsessed with the image of them sucking dicks . Why the hell would Russia take on the Baltics ? They provide very little value in anything , and all they ' ll do is be super fucking annoying and start killing ethnic Russians . Plus , even in France isn ' t willing to risk with nukes , that doesn ' t mean the EU won ' t try to put in actually hurtful sanctions of some sort . Fighting over shit land for no gain is absolutely counterproductive and would just cost Russia more money , which it would rather not spend on fighting a straightup war with a neighbor <| sep |> As someone who doesn ' t like traditional MMOs and would ' ve preferred a TPS , survivaloriented game over what we got with The Division , the Survival mode is what brought me back . It ' s still a bit too bullet spongy for me but not enough to turn me off of the game I originally gave up around 1 . 2 . I just bought Survival and reinstalled . If they added a hardcore mode to the base game with these mechanics I ' d play it a lot more . I hate the concept of someone ' s loot having so much of an impact on how powerful they are . It should have some impactbut a realistic impact in consideration of the setting . Instead Massive made what is basically a fantasy MMO .
