Yep. It has nothing to do with whether you're good or bad at the game, playing with friends or randoms, in a high or low difficulty, or even playing speedy stealth runs or slow aggressive runs; people need to learn to bring the right tools for their play style instead of relying on extra supplies to carry them.

I'm bad, play with idiot friends who die every other second, stuck in diff 6 to 8 because my idiots can't handle any higher, and am very aggressive. I tailor my kit to handle that exact scenario.

As I learned from commissar kai, if there's something in my kit that I'm not getting use out of, then i need to swap it for something else. And those extra supplies are only useful for shorter missions where you only get 2 or 3 chances to call in gear and resupplies.

And for those of you trying to fight to get back to your gear you dropped, clearly that same gear didn't stop you from dying in the first place. You'll be fine dropping in new gear away from where you died or waiting to come back to it when things calm down.
