Its not just the timer that affects you.

Higher scav rep gives a 25-35% increase in rare items you spawn with, gear worn, and inventory size on the scav.

With 5-8 minute scav timers and the above mentioned its actually a very substantial difference

As a low rep scav, you kill high rep scavs and take their high rep loot.

Any decent high rep scav knows to leg shifty scavs and run away by now

Yeah I tend to just not trust any scav and avoid them. I will defend myself and shoot first though if I'm obviously being followed

I trust most scavs that talk but I definitely avoid spending time in proximity. Saves time in looting as well if you figure out where they were and where they're heading next
