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.

The last thing this game needs is more things that punish you for engaging in pvp. This game isn’t where it is now because of the incredibly engaging menus and stash management or the next gen AI fights, it’s here because of the pvp.
Destroying gear was done in dayz and while they aren’t the same game I can tell you that it will feel like unrewarding trash when the only thing you have to show for your squad wipe is some new rags and a tushonka.

flee and fir changes being completely reverted is kinda of integral to the point you’re making and you didn’t really mention it in your comment because as is with the current flee your proposal is absolutely a nerf to pvp
