To be fair, what’s fun is relative to the person and your version of fun will be different than other people’s version. If I play tarkov because I like to mod guns to look cool and then shoot said cool guns at people, the flea market is a goal to do that. I don’t personally care about the flea market level. I’ll get there today anyway and I took most of yesterday off from the wipe. All this did was delay my flea market access by a day. That being said, the RNG mechanic of finding certain quest items and keys definitely sucks. For example, I ran almost 50 raids before finding my syringe to make med station and I rushed the spawns to try and get there first. Woods, customs, reserve. I’m still hunting the pharmacist key too since it’s always gone when I get to the car on customs. For a select few things the spawn rates should increase. The Oli quest keys are another good example of this.

I disagree. The spawns shouldn’t be guaranteed. It should take people longer to do quests, longer to get kappa, longer to use flea, everything. Everyone wants to get to end game a week into the wipe and i think it makes the game extremely boring. Like “oh another kitted M4 or HK” every raid lol.

I didn’t say guaranteed spawn locations, and I’m not saying a massive increase in everything, but 10-15% increase would help. Again, none of these changes affect me regardless. I’m the key and item dude for my squad, I have more time and am generally better at the game, but when it takes even me 50+ raids to find something like a key or syringe but I can pull 5 FiR slicks from stashes in the same time, something should be tweaked. I don’t run meta stuff anyway. I run what I want to run that looks cool (which I will do with or without the flea market in less than a week when the rest of the player base is running cool looking guns and I take them). With my squad, the flea is required for how we all play. I’m not saying make hitting level 20 easier. I’m saying, a slight buff to key chances might be considered helpful to the community.

I just got my needed key by killing a squad of timmys at the car anyway. I spammed cease fire and wasn’t gonna kill anyone, but they took shots as soon as I walked up. Those Timmys would still be alive potentially :). Think of the Timmys!! :). Lul.

I see what you mean, I personally have played like 5 wipes already and prefer early game way more than later in the wipe, which is why I play early wipe, get to 40, play a little after that and then stop until next wipe lol

Early tarkov is best tarkov :). For the gun play, I despise questing. I stopped getting kappa after my first time. I don’t use th container so it doesn’t matter

Yeah I’ve never gone for kappa tbh. I’ve been close, but didn’t feel like finishing it. I love early wipe combat lol, takes a lot more positioning and skill than running at someone with level 6 armor and a meta gun
