In my opinion kiting is fine, thought what I really dislike about it is the people asking you to leave a server because they want to kite alone.. I've kited a lot myself and know that it can be irritating that people join as the run might get ruined, but I still refrain from asking people to leave as I don't feel I have a right to. Even worse is those(you know who you are) who join a normal server at wave 16, delays the spawn to wait until the bots kill the team, then spawns in the last second to kite the last waves and prince alone. When doing that you're just being a big douchebag.
As for current drops when kiting, they really are a lot superior to playing in a team(ex. nka recently got 2 lumps, a scale and a zinc shard or something in 2 hours), which is why most people kite. So if the devs really want to get rid of kiting they should make playing in a team more profitable than playing alone. Or another way to do it would be to just decrease the ammo amount for all ranged weapons a lot, though that would also nerf the ranged classes in all kinds of play styles.
Having that said, I'm still for having kiting in the mod as I find it a lot more fun and challenging and at the same time it's just up to myself how far I make it. And I've also gotten a bit tired of the usual way of playing the mod as then I just stand still shooting for some hours. And I don't really see that the "normal" way of playing the mod will change much unless they find a way to make the maps more interactive in some way.
