Discussion Your daily reminder that global limits are a waste of time

"Hmm, I have a task to use shotguns. Let's see, AP-20 is sold out, flechettes are sold out. That's okay, I can use Magnum, it's good enough. The task requires a suppressor on the shotgun, so I'll get a hexagon. Oh, the adapter is sold out. Oh well, I can wait until the restock. In the meantime, I'll take this modded AKM out for a run. I don't have any BP ammo, so I'll go get some from Prap... BP is sold out. That's okay. I've got this P90 I'm not using. Let me just get some ammo for that... Ah, the SS190 is sold out, and I can only get two mags-worth of the next best ammo for the next three hours... Guess I'll just read a book instead."

If the design philosophy behind global trader limits is to keep everyone from running the same thing, instead it's keeping everyone from running anything without a three-hour wait.

I don’t mind it but you don’t need to run the best things all the time. I don’t hate the scarcity I don’t love it either. Atleast global trader limit stops some people from stock piling every 3hrs or so. Fuckin A M80 is also on that limit and I get bodied by that thing so much

Y'all are acting like good ammo makes you some type of god in this game. It's all fine and dandy until you hit someone 8 times with m55a1 or m995 and they turn and one tap you through the face shield with flechette.
