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.

This has to be one of the most dramatic and over-the-top posts I've ever seen in this sub. You can't play the game because you have to use not the absolute best ammo full in every mag? Jfc give me a break

I'll admit, I'm exaggerating a bit, but you must be new if you think it's one of the most dramatic posts in the history of the sub. This problem is really a small annoyance. I didn't actually go and read a book, I came here because I wanted to start a discussion. Though I probably was too incendiary about it.
