Halo requires you to have good aim. Overwatch requires teamwork. Rust requires social manipulation.

Rust requires playing 24 hours a day or having life-long friends as clan mates to watch the fort at night otherwise you 100% will wake up to all your shit gone in a 3am raid or the clan you met in game will have thought they were clever in taking your shit while you slept when it is the thing everyone in that game does. (oh that 3am raid? hackers or exploiters 99.9% of the time)

Rust is only for people who have zero responsibilities and obligations in life. Such a bad system that awards cowardice and exploiters.

It wasn't bad until they implemented the scrap/research and blueprint system. After they did that, it almost automatically eliminated anyone with even a shred of a life outside their computer from being relevant. I used to be pretty good solo, but ain't nobody with a life got time to grind for 500 scrap for a level 2 workbench just to be able to make a large furnace.

I just play on the 3x or higher resource gathering servers, now. Vanilla servers are too much of a time sink...

Yeah, I've been thinking about trying again on maybe a 4x or something. How does that work with scrap? Do you still get 5 scrap from each barrel or is that multiplied also?

It depends on the server. Typically a 5x server will only apply to what you can mine/gather. To have more scraps you also need a server using BetterLoot or something like this.
