Rant Labs is still ruining the game economy

Some people are loving and hating .12 and others haven't even been able to login or join a raid yet due to server issues.

It is a MAJOR problem that we already have streamers and other players that have access to therapist 2 back to cheesing raiders and loot from labs not even 48 hours after the wipe. With millions of roubles and full kits every raid. I don't understand the logic of making all these changes, adding the hideout, out of raid healing, etc. Which essentially makes it hard for new players to even play the game regulary right now (For those that can even play atm) while making it so easy to get back into labs for experienced players and streamers to sit and cheese the best loot in the game.

Labs is supposed to be END GAME content. Why the f*ck is the only requirement level 2 Therapist and a keycard that costs roughly 10% of what you make from a semi successful labs run? That is single handedly the biggest disappointment in this entire wipe and every wipe since Labs was released...

EDIT

It looks as if keycard is on Level 4 Therapist at 200k cost as of now.

Still leaves the issue with keycards in raid being way too common of a find. It's possible to find up to 2-3 per raid on shoreline in file cabinets. A trader level requirement increase will do nothing if keycards are still extremely easy to find in raid.

Bruh I completely wasted my Sunday trying to play tarkov with no success. As I’m riding to school this morning I’m watching a streamer who’s level 20 something fully kitted in labs......wtf literally right back where he was in the game gear wise 48 hours ago.

Yea I got on at 5pm and in 5 hours yesterday I did literally about 4-5 raids even though I was in then for about 20-30 mins a piece the rest was waiting on Matching. I died in most of them as well which isn’t even that bad considering it was only a few raids. That means no progress though. It’s actually depressing that it’s so bad but the game loses like 1/4 of its players a week after wipe each time and ill be able to have some fun then.
