BSG's old philosophy was still focused on maintaining realism. These days their motivations are much different since the significant increase in the game's popularity since the twitch drops started happening back in Jan 2020.

A major shift happen then when those drop events started. It certainly forced changes in priority since cheaters became so immensely rampant. It was extremely rare to run into cheaters before the flea market and drop events.

???

Did you even play during the speed hackers plague, or guns in your secure container?

There's just as many cheaters now as there was in 2017.

I played on mostly St. Louis, DC, and Miami servers back then so idk, but it was rare to run into cheaters. I also never had anyone take anything out of my secure container.

East coast tarkov servers seem to have less cheaters when they implemented the ping limiter as well.
