Loot system changes

[Fatko]

Personally speaking, pz starts to get way too easy when you hit around 500ish hours. And the sole reason for me it's the loot situation  in towns. I think that the levels of loot in the first 2-5 days, should be pretty high, (due to the fact the most people would rush to the stores, thus making them infected) but afterwards it should start declining rapidly, so after a week or two, the stores would have very little loot left. House loot should decline but not in every single house but just in the houses that other survivors have already looted. Also the same things as the store situation should apply to EMS buildings (especially the police), so that EMS  gear and tools could only be find on zombies. This should only apply to cities and not to isolated places!

I guess in a real apocalypse the availability of the different kinds of goods would change very differently. In the first few days (at least after the initial panicked plundering) it would be food, bottled water, weapons (guns especially) that run out pretty quick and later, after many weeks or even months, it would be tools and other long term survival things like seeds?

I think that when NPCs are added there will be more of a sense of competition and urgency to looting.
