1) The game is hard when you start. When you have no idea whats going on, I progressively got better, not only at playing but learning where items I wanted actually spawned. So getting back guns and other things honestly doesn't take very long now, and avoiding zombies isn't even a problem. So once you are well setup, dealing with those zombies is usually the last of your worries, only time it's an issue is if you know people are near and you don't want to give away your location. Or you don't want to shoot and get zombies on you while oyu are in a PvP situation.

2) Real life to Video Games just doesn't scale well. In real life when you see someone and offer support to them, they join you. This person now lives with you, you require this person to watch your back and they require you to watch theirs. Online running across random people, these are people you will never probably see again. Sure they could give you some sort of rewards for assists other players, but in real life the reward is knowing this person will be there for you, so giving you any sort of reward beyond that is going to be more of an RPG type element and not a realistic one.

I think mostly the problem is, is just that real life to videogames just doesn't scale correctly. But the fact that once you got down surviving, it becomes a lot easier.

I think its more the fact that it is a video game and survival in a video game is irrelevant because you die you just respawn. Theres really not much at stake other then loosing all your stuff you found. But after a while it becomes easy to get everything again if you know where to go like you said.
