The "Art of Dibbing"
Dibs are something that you can do in this game, mainly to inform people that you want that item. Mostly its done because you NEED it, not that you necessarily want it just to get the edge over the other members or the other teams. For example, you're running the R-301 and you NEED that light mag so you dib it. I've seen many people, and I, myself, have also took something when someone else had dibbed it. It's not an entirely important topic to talk about, but sometimes you need the item that the person had pinged more than the others do sometimes. So, try to understand the other people before you pick something up that they had dibbed. It's pretty hard to see what the person had dibbed, and I understand that. So, I have a solution to combat this.
At the top right of the screen where the kill feed is and all, have it so that when someone dibs something, it shows up at the feed as something like " Player has dibbed Extended Light Mag Level 2 ". Another thing that can be done would be when approaching an item someone has dibbed, it is seen in the details of the thing that the player had dibbed the item. However, if you take it, nothing bad would happen. I don't feel that people should be punished just because they took a dibbed item. It's more of a preventation measure.
