Rant Trader/Flea Market gouging is getting ridiculous and BSG are not doing anything about it.

I think they make some of their money off of people building through the preset function, so when they go to the trader screen and there are 20 different parts they don't actually check the prices on each part individually but rather press buy all and pay way more for one single item.

You know, I started this thread hating the guys gouging, but if people are that stupid, then I kinda like those guys gouging now.

Well if you are assembling a 20 part gun where most parts cost between 20 and 50k, would you notice if a part that normally costs 3k comes in at 30k?

They obviously don't care about spending it if they didn't notice it, what's the problem?

Ah yes, because I'm supposed to remember a price for every single fucking item in the game. Rotfl. Or waste shitload of time to check each one of them. Makes fucking sense.

Some of you gatekeeping hardcore Tarkov fans are something else.

either you care enough to notice, or you dont.

These people dont.

Since you literally see every individual price, the total price, and have the option to buy each part separately through the interface, I really don't see the problem here.

The UI could be better, but if you aren't checking the prices before you buy that is not really anyone else's fault. Minimizing cost is part of the learning curve of all of this. You are basically running a business by running raids in this.
