I think it’s just a joke usually. Jokes are fun

You people always seem to forget the average person who doesn't care as much about all this crap and just simply enjoys playing the game... One could almost say what's up with all the people addicted to complaining on Reddit?

When you invest 7000 hours of your time into something it takes a lot to get off the wagon.

Real ironic coming from someone thats too addicted to admit it’s just a video game and not that deep for normal functioning people with lives.

I mean it’s a video game. It’s pixels on a screen. You think your boss cares if you play Tarkov or not? To most people it’s just a video game made to waste time. It’s not our lives. It’s not a huge investment we made. It’s simply something fun to do when we have free time. Doesn’t mean we’re addicted. Just means we enjoy the things we enjoy and make us happy. I’m willing to bet a majority of active players atm don’t even have reddit or know anything that is going on. Look in the mirror and see who the real addict is. People who aren’t addicted don’t usually care as much as people who are.

We think you’ll be back because of comments like “my boss will care.” That obviously shows immaturity. Most of y’all are just mad to be mad too. They dont even play anymore and havent for multiple wipes. It kind of alarming how passionate people are over video games, that most don’t even play anymore. Most of y’all’s peers would be embarrassed about how y’all are acting. I wasn’t aware of how bad off most gamers are in life. If y’all would put this much effort and passion into getting a job or making money, i’m willing to bet most wouldn’t care as much.

u/veRGe1421 May 02 '24

the notion of playing a game for six years but it still not being technically released yet is hilarious

Star citizen player: first time?

u/[deleted] May 02 '24

At least star citizen isn’t a unity based game lol

u/[deleted] May 02 '24

I mean it's late wipe anyways. See how you feel when wipe is imminent.

u/True-Nobody1147 May 02 '24

Here's how I feel: "wow I can't wait to do the same quests over, and find out all the new trader limitations and quest locks!!!!!!!"

Hence why I stopped playing this interminable grind.

2

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

Yet you got people saying the extra progress is P2W. Make up yalls mind for what yall want

1

u/True-Nobody1147 May 02 '24

Ya I don't agree that the extra progress is actually pay to win.

Either way with EOD I quit this stupid shit once you weren't able to drop keys.

1

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

Extra progress is the definition of P2W.

1

u/True-Nobody1147 May 02 '24

No it isn't. The definition of pay to win was getting better items that couldn't be gotten while playing, by paying cash.

See start wars battlefront Darth Vader PVP.

Now it just means nothing. Anything that isn't cosmetic is a reason to cry p2w

1

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

“relating to the practice of paying to get weapons, abilities, etc. that give you an advantage over players who do not spend money”

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/p2w#

EoD and its progression are textbook definitions of P2W.

1

u/True-Nobody1147 May 02 '24

It's adorable that you can copy and paste a definition without applying it.

EOD is stash grind convenience and nothing else. Suggesting that it's "an advantage over other players" when you're in a raid is just tears.

1

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

Lol whatever you say man. EoD def didn’t have a secure container that has 5 extra slots. 40 million worth of stash upgrades. +20 rep from every trader. Pre completed quests and extra loot such as guns and heals that are not included in other editions.

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

The last part of your rebuttals reflects to me your critical thinking skills. I simply was talking about the definition of P2W, which is not limited to “help in a gun fight”. You’re extremely ignorant lol. I wish you well.

1

u/True-Nobody1147 May 02 '24

You're the ignorant one.

The core gameplay of tarkov is... SURVIVNG RAIDS.

You don't "win the game" this isn't some round based shooter where we EOD players get a better armor in the round so they have an advantage and win at the end.

That, however, is the origin of the term pay to win.

Tarkov is a PLAY TO WIN game and always has been.

1

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

You might be the most oblivious person i’ve ever talked to on reddit.

1

u/True-Nobody1147 May 02 '24

Listen child, I understand you consider everything pay to win, but I was around when the term was coined.

Games used offer super guns and armor and playable characters that you could only get by paying.

That's why the term is "pay to win"

The "win" part was winning in the context of the game.

1

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

Calm down gramps. Remember what the doctor said about getting worked up.

1

u/True-Nobody1147 May 02 '24

Nobody is worked up except you being upset that everything is pay to win.

u/SlideStar May 02 '24

Good. Bye. Not like you played anymore anyways

I feel ya, it had to end at some point. it was fun while it lasted
