I have to say I tried it (but some weeks back, they took it down and maybe changed something) and didn't like it at all.
In essence all you could do to get money was harvest cabbages, then try to sell those cabbages to other players who had no money but lots of cabbages, too.
I joined a bandit group but as soon as you could say "stand and deliver" they'd just run off and you could do nothing about it.
I mean I can understand that other players were pissed by being spawncamped in Persistent World mod, and eh, I started pretty serious with a backstory for my character and no intention to be bandit, but when there is no way to spice it up with a fight, and everyone is just standing around in the savezone waiting to get his hourly "unemployment subsidy" until he can buy a sickle it gets boring fast.
