Since Rust has matured a bit now and due to the lack of content, I'm interested to know how you keep playing Rust. What's your game play like? PVP? PVE? RAIDING? BUILDING?

For example:
0 - 10 Hrs = I was a massive gather. I probably didn't leave coast valley for this entire time. Then the server got wiped.
10 - 20 Hrs = At this point I started teaming up. I used to play with brother only before this.
30 - 40 Hrs = I started getting into raiding.
40 - 60 Hrs = I mostly screwed around, but never could really focus on anything particular.
100 Hrs ++ = I took a good break from Rust then got back into it. I had major admin abuse from people I thought were legit, which turned me off of it.

At this point now, I've decided to find a server that suits my needs. I really want to go back to those first 0 - 10 hrs when everything was completely new and I didn't have to worry about being in a group just to have fun. I would say I really enjoy the slow gameplay. Unlike Diablo or Wow where you level up a character so the time investment is worth it, you don't get that with Rust. You only get back items for the amount of time you invest, which is good up until you realize everyone has them.

I've honestly searched for weeks to find the right server, ie, one that I find has the perfect balance. Evolved gaming was good but I think they've reverted back to catering to the kids that rage quit if they don't find a gun in the first hour of looting. So far, I've tried a server called Long Haul for about 3 days now and it seems to be what I've been looking for. The admins are pretty open for input so at least it's developing.

I think the next step is for me to own a server and just play with friends, but that in itself is a whole new issue.

0-10 Hrs = Trying to figure out what the fuck to do
10-20 Hrs = Trying to figure out what the fuck to do
30-40 Hrs = Oh I got it now
40-50 Hrs = Fuck, nevermind
50-60 Hrs = Hahahahahahahahaha killed that bitch
60-70 Hrs = Wtf that bitch killed me
70-80 Hrs = Fuck this shit, server wipe
80-90 Hrs = Fuckin' admins
90-100 = Dafuck hacks

0-1 Thought 100 wood was the best thing ever
1-10 Realized 100 wasn't the best thing ever
10-20 had a shack, wanted to make friends but kept getting killed so went lone survivor
20-30 had a good operation going on myself and made 1 or 2 friends first fun i actually had on rust
30-60 made a few friends and we build our first bigish base and and then server got wiped
60-110 made even more friends and built a huge base and got loads of kev, m4s and c4 and went raiding a lot
110-140 started getting really bored and played on other servers but got geared within a few hours
STOPED PLAYING FOR A WHILE
140-200 spend about a week on a server then leave because it got really boring
and now i haven't played for about 2 weeks and just waiting for next update to start paying again
