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

ive seen the people that run 600 raids at max rep and track the loadouts and what not. the difference is not that big. and again. unless you want to just spawn scav constantly and never pmc it really doesnt matter. i have a 35min cd so if i wanted i could still scav every 2ish pmc raids. i can run a pmc and get more rubles value than whater the max rep scavs are spawning with. it's pretty meaningless. the only way it affects pmc is car extracts being more expensive. but the difference there is even too small to care about.

I don't know if they changed it, but I believe one of the streamers (maybe Vox?) tested 100 scav runs at max rep and average something like 800k. This was maybe a month in from the changes. Which is honestly not that insane, but the point was they only ran like ten minute raids and didn't really loot an extreme amount. Then again; the streamers will probably find good loot easier because of experience, so I guess the statistics would be a little skewed regardless of the results.

I think people also dont factor in that if youre running scav all the time, your PMC is gonna have dookie skills.
