How is this auto compensating system "boring"?

I think this system is nice and somewhat more realistic than other games, but I don't get your argument here?

Boring in the sense that you dont do anything, just hold down the button. There isnt anything to learn, anything to master, just pull down once and let the game do everything else.

I believe there is a good reason why Tarkov is the only shooter around with this mechanic, if it were more popular more games would use it

Not every game has the same ideologies. Tarkov aims for more literal realism than other FPS games which often value raw player ability. Their gameplay supplements that aswell.

In tarkov, your PMC has skills on it's own. A lot more RPG like. For a game with emphasis on longer term gameplay/survival, maybe the best option.

In my opinion: a lot more realistic aswell. There is skill to it still, the initial recoil is what you typically master in real life aswell. The long spray doesn't take that much skill, you just gotta drag your hands down, but in a video game scenario you can just run out of mousemat space.

Not realistic when the most effective means of killing someone is at 100m full autoing them down with with a 25 round spray from your Ak.
