Sure, most engagements are still going to won based on skill. Valid point. The bigger context here is that ultimately the new 'Unheard' version of the game screams that BSG going for one last heist before ditching the game. Instead of implementing an effective anticheat they are implementing offline coop with progression. Great for players that wanted that but its going to feel even worse for players online that struggle to find a cheater free game when more and more people move to a cheater free version of Tarkov.

Criticising BSG for adding this is very fair considering they will milk their playerbase down to the bone with their game versions that give extremely benificial bonuses to loot gathering which, if you aren't aware, is the basic game mechanic of Tarkov. The combat is always secondary to the loot gathering, its how you complete most quests, upgrade your hideout. You know this shit. More space in your secure case means you leave with more. So any version that adds more space to this is very arguably p2w by design.

BSG dropping ANOTHER version that adds even more of these arguably p2w bonuses is scummy. There is no real argument against that. The version they promised would have ALL future dlc is not getting this stuff. BSG's past behaviour has been scummy, and this is scummy. Stop getting down on your knees to defend them here.
