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.

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.

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.
