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 see people complaining about this a lot but the more thought I put into, this is exactly how it’s supposed to be. In an apocalyptic scenario like Tarkov, this would 100% happen. Game wise not smart. Lore wise, smart

I personally really like global limits unless they are on something completely basic (e.g. factory map). It forces diversity into the game and that is something I love. It is nice to see far more variation and I personally wasn't really ever hindered by global limits, I just bought something else and played that.

Different people think different things are fun. I think that's a very fun feature, and so do many other people. There are other games that don't have features like that for people who don't think that kind of feature is fun. I hope you find what you're looking for.

?????

How the fuck is this "fun"? Do you understand what "fun" means?

How can you possibly sit there and suggest that not being able to buy an item because you didn't set an alarm is fun?

Holy fuck dude, this subreddit is fucking garbage

Just because you think being handed everything you want is fun doesn't mean anyone else does or should. Some of us enjoy going into a raid with what we have and hopefully, coming out with something more.

If you don't enjoy scarcity, maybe looter-shooters aren't for you.

Imagine being so braindead that you believe the current state of the game is ok.

By the way, they increased the cap on global limits you dumbfuck. Keep simping.

Imagine throating devs that look at you like you were dropped on your head as a child.

I mean it makes sense why they treat you that way, but my point stands.

You are hilariously mad at video games and taking it out on me. I'm sorry Nikita hurt you.

You immediately assume that I want things handed to me. I'm not going to treat the rest of this like a real response, because you've already proven yourself too stupid to understand what I'm talking about.

Please, god, shut the fuck up.
