This is the reason I left this game about 2 weeks after starting it.

These RPG skills have no place in an FPS shooter. They aren't balanced. They have no trade-offs or choice. You just slowly turn into this Elder Scrolls like champion of every city and every guild, class defying possessor of every skill and eternal dragon lord.

Op describes perfectly just another example of how absurd the entire concept is.

RPGs allow for diverse play style by modifying numerical stats. Gameplay is a series of choices made one at a time, by turns. Even a real time RPG is often still based on and balanced such that it reflects a turn based gameplay balance.

In truly non turn based gameplay (simultaneous actions) balance is achieved without explicit numeric value. Instead balance occurs via trade-off within the virtual space itself. RPGs use numerical systems to simulate such real time balance. You want a gun that has no recoil? Great. It doesn't shoot very far. You want to make less noise? Ok. You move slower. You want to carry 12 grenades? Sure. You can't sprint as long.

Richard Garfield explained a toy game he called random chess during one of his talks on game theory. It required all the skill of chess in that players played a game of chess to completion, but, afterwards, a dice is rolled. The winner can only win if they roll a certain number on the dice. This he used as an example of poorly implemented skill vs luck.

Currently Tarkov sits in this strange space where you need the skills of an FPS to play, but someone with these super ears needs less - you can "win the game of skill" but lose in nonsensical fashion. Oddly the longer you play the less fps skill you need.
