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 o...
If I need something and some1 else "claimed" it, I will most definitely take it if I'm closer. Calling dibs does not make the item yours.
I call dibs just to mark the items so that the marker doesn't disappear and I gather them up at my own pace if they're still there. I may even call dibs on things I don't need atm, but that could come in handy if I switch weapons. E.g., I may mark turbocharger and get it if I find a havoc and enough ammo or eventually cancel it (or the other way around).
What is annoying to me though is ppl who call dibs and never cancel that if they don't get it. Useless markers are annoying, especially if it's an item 2km away marked at start of the game.
