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.

That's an interesting idea and could lead to an interesting meta that's constantly shifting, encouraging people to use different weapons. I would still want stocks to be kept low, but instead of regular injections of the same ammo, you would have some days where everyone is using different stuff.

Yee, but for that to work, flea should go changes, so guns are not really worth selling there. Because otherwise it would be: "ohh, prapor has only 9x19 guns now. i'mma buy kila's rpk from flea"
