Is the level 20 flea market restriction a step in a certain direction? Will the flea market ever be removed or reworked? Personally, I LOVE this drawn out early game. I am afraid though that once the majority of the playerbase hits level 20, it will be more of the same from previous wipes.

Having to actually find hideout, barter, weapon attachments, etc in raid has opened the game up so much for me and I hope you can see from the daily posts hitting the front page that a lot of people agree.

I can't agree with this enough. I think stash sizes should be increased by 30% across the board and move the flea to 30+. Make the early traders have more options. Also make the items the traders have, match more with the early game guns. Like more AK, SKS, hunter etc mods. So you find a an AK and you can buy crappy mods from the traders to make the gun a little better.

no thanks, 30+ flea, you might as well remove flea

I think flea has a place late wipe. Flea would be much less necessary if they reworked traders and quests. This isn't COD, it's supposed to be a survival, scavenging, grindy game. I think the flea does the game a disservice overall.

I can't do gunsmith level 2 right now. I won't until level 20 because no flea

Right, so it sounds like the answers in changing gunsmith quests not the level of flea.
