As a player that just loves looting and hoarding junk, caps, chems, and ammo, these infestation changes really any motivation I had to play.

Fallout 76 has been my after work comfort game for over two years now, but I‘ve logged on twice over the past week, tried an infestation, and immediately logged off afterwards. I don’t feel like I can play on private worlds anymore because the green circles are constant reminders of FOMO, even though I’m not really missing out on anything after the loot nerfs. I’ve never had an update keep me from enjoying the other parts of a game like this before. Any suggestions on how to ignore them or minimize their impact?

Before anyone says it, I get they aren’t supposed to be “solo” content, but that doesn’t help me much when I’m on a world by myself.
