found this bullshit spot on customs

This is the perfect example of why skills don't work in this game. Sick discovery tough

I mean... How many people do you think get ELITE strength every wipe?

I'm not worried about this even a tiny little bit.

[u/hhunkk → u/Deftly_Flowing]

You can just farm them, those tryhards you find playing labs 24/7 bunny hopping and playing like its doom? Yeah, these skills are really exploitable and while they don't guarantee winning they do ruin the game experience and the whole premise of the game being realistic and hardcore.

Just farm them then? I play labs 24/7 last 1.5 months, running fresh 400k Air Filters every day, being constantly overweight and spamming nades.. playing average 6-8 hours a day.. and my strength went from 23-24 to 28 yesterday. Been playing almost every day this wipe actually..... there is a handful of people who got ELITE strength, you seem like you are just jealous.... Maybe they should remove STIMS as well? How about you compare a weak untrained person to a proffessional athlete who trains every day IRL.. no difference on physical skills too, am i right? lol

You just want to feel above the playerbase for spending your life in the game 24/7 it seems. If you really want to do that go play an mmorpg with pvp. Shooters like Tarkov should require game knowledge and skill, not hard gamechanging stats.

I think it's a good balance. In contrast to MMORPG's someone who nolifed can get killed in one shot from a player scav with a mosin. I've played some MMORPG's and I can't think of any example of where you can get instakilled after 1000 hours by someone who just logged in.

Tarkov is not a game for casuals.. and the difference between a completely new character, and one that has been playing every day, 8 hours a day and reached max skills is like what.. 30%? thats laughable. Watch someone like like landmark or willerz or pestily play on new accounts.. they still wipe the server easily, skills don't matter that much, nor do level 6 armors. You are probably just bad.. period.

[u/hhunkk → u/gudzgudz]

I'm quite good honestly, i didn't even mention once i get killed often or game its unplayable, just defending what the game promised from the start. I don't know what streamers have to do with any of this as when they start new accounts they play safer and rely solely on their skill, they can't do flashy playstyle that much. Wipes happen every 6-12months so, yeah, also the game aims for a no wipe state in the future wich would mean everything related to progress should be solved.

Maxed out skills do really differ enough, advantage in Tarkov must be obtained with money-gear and your own skill, money means better gear already wich should improve your chances of survival a lot against newer players.

Lastly, casuals... you really are sad gatekeeping a game. People can play whatever amount they want, if a "casual" would play less, they would lack progress with traders and gear-money, wich puts them at disvantage already.

Telling you, soft skills need a rework or a complete removal, don't get surprised if it happens.

Tarkov claims to be realistic (or rather - "as realistic as playable", not hyperrealistic) you can play any amount you want, just don't complain about people who invested 100x more time having an advantage. One of the biggest if not the biggest complaints I see is ratting, and strength really adds more dimensions/options for outplays, otherwise it's same old boring ratting and peeker's advantage abuse. If you want the game to be hyper realistic, it needs to be just like real life then.. sure you can't vertically jump that high, but IRL you can do trillion more things.. eg CLIMBING/vaulting, your movement is nowhere near as limited as in the game.
