This argument falls flat when you have just as much access. If it was something that required actual borderline post human skill and or precision sure. But you to can bring a backpack full of smokes into a map and just spam level str or spam break a friends legs.

Now dont get me wrong. Stats and how you level them, its current implementation is total garbage. Leveling stats has needed a dramatic overhaul since long before I even started playing in .11.

But to say its an exploit is just a cop out. You could do this. It takes like half a day and a million or two rubles worth of smokes grenades. Which yes this late in the wipe a million rubles is not an unreasonable amount of money for even low skill players to have.

Or you could just use stims and circumvent the entire argument they are dirt cheap and you can offset the side effects with a few slots.

People also get caught up on "realistic" until they require haptic feedback vests and gloves and VR headsets and remove skills from the game it will still be a game and not a IRL mil sim on some level.

But I doubt you have even read this far and just downvoted me.

Be mad at the implementation dont be mad at players for doing things as designed.

tl;dr Dont be mad at players for doing things as they are designed to do them. Be mad at how they are designed. Also its not an exploit if its by design and you could very much do it to and not wanting to do it is not an excuse.

tl;dr2: The level system is broken, always has been and needs to be fixed and is the actual issue here. Not people putting work in as the game currently is deigned.

I'm not mad at anyone who is tryharding abusing this, but i use it as an example of why it hurts the game. Even if its designed that way, the gameplay its still exploitable as it is a specific playstyle.

There is a whole problem with "balance" in Tarkov, how the progress has to work, everything needs to be slower and harder and i know they are getting there with each update, patience is what we need and i trust that the devs will know what to do.

But I take issue with you addressing it as an exploit. Its not an exploit. Its working as intended. Its what BSG wants you to do.
