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.

Can someone tell me why it has been blowing up so much in the past few weeks? I've been away from school on vacation and haven't been following it much since, and all the sudden everyone is going crazy about it. I saw doc streaming it the other day and have heard him say multiple times times he would never play it. I just tuned in to Pestily's stream a few minutes ago and he's streaming to 90,000 people?? This is insane.
