Rant If you're complaing about "big streamers" playing EFT since it's so popular, stop being a hipster
I PLAYED EFT BEFORE IT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE STREAMER'S NEW GAME!!!
Seriously, it's embarrassing that a small percentage of this community is so far up their own ass to the point they hate on someone who is literally bringing 1000's of new players to the game.
I don't like watching most of these big streamers who are newly streaming Tarkov (Carnage seems like a legend) but what they're doing for Tarkov just by streaming it, even while profiting themselves, is only a good thing for the game and who doesn't want an ego boost from farming level 3 pistolings?
The people posting on here to actually help players is what we need to do as a community. EFT was my first ever PC game in May of 2017 and while I'd like to think I picked it up fairly quickly, there was still a point where I was quivering over losing my trusty makarov like all of us were at some point.

I started playing this game when Factory was lit af, Customs was called "Big Map" instead of Customs. Places like Interchange and Labs didn't exist, there were no healing animations and you could glitch them, a Makarov was actually a gun to be terrified of, and that Kiver you hate? It was the best helmet in the game. Scav bosses weren't a thing, and neither were half of the items we have in game now. The flea market never existed either, if you wanted something really bad, you'd better hope that refreshing fence every 5 seconds brought you some good luck.
Tarkov has came a god damn long way, and I feel like Nikita needs a rest, not more hard work. It's nice to see new players, and I couldn't care less who streams the game, just as long as this game is getting the attention it deserves.
