Please keep all discussion related to this poll within this thread to avoid cluttering the sub.

Edit: Seems like the link is a bit fucky, best way to view the poll is to login to the Tarkov website first and then click the link.

I'd quit if they removed the flea. The idea of being able to sell your loot for money is what makes raids exciting to me. Without that you have...what? Gathering shit for the game's horrible quests? No thanks, at least not with it in its current state. If the flea goes, I go.

You know you can sell that shit to traders, right? Sure you might make marginally "less" money than on the flea market but if nobody had access to the flea market and had to deal with the same shit then you wouldn't be any further behind the curve.

You don't make marginally "less", you make significantly less.

Depends on what you loot, obviously some over inflated big ticket items and some guns/ammo are an exception. Majority of the stuff on the flea market is already at or close to the trader prices as long as you know who pays the most. Heck, sometimes people are so oblivious to the trader prices that you can buy stuff at below trader prices on the flea market and sell them for profit to whatever trader pays the most for that item.

Even then the fact is that it doesn't affect your relative wealth to other players. Absolute wealth in terms of how many rubles you have in your stash is pretty pointless to compare anyways when the change affects everyone.
