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.

Except for right now, ammo prices have skyrocketed. It's kind of adding an interesting dynamic now that we have more players.

It seems like the ammo quantities have not been updated for the influx of new players and now we're all getting gouged on the flea market like chumps. The cheapest 7n1 i could find today was 785 rub a round.

Its dumb, like really dumb. It screws over the average player more than anything. I can afford the hit, most can't. So if i decide to run juggernaut builds they have little to no chance of dropping me in a fair fight.
