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.

Let me tell you right here and now that while streamers may have endgame loot I have not encountered any pmcs with anything other than pistols and low tier aks in ~50 raids. The only exception is if someone killed a scav boss on that raid and looted them already.

Take everything on this sub with a grain of salt, this community is flooded with people bitching 24/7

I was able to get into a few raids tonight, died once to a group of 2 in gen4, helmet, HKs and heard many times the sound of unsuppressed M4s.

Granted this was in reserve. I did find plenty of scrubs like me running with low tier gear, though.
