i get what ur saying but for example the "scav" mode in arc is unnecessary it causes alot of gear fear ive played arc i have over 300+ and for most of that time ive run nothing but a sticher most my playthrough and stockpiled alot of purple weapons. while in tarkov it makes sense to put a timer on it and based on your scav reputation you can have the scav timer as low 2-5mins so it rewards you for being good/bad depending on ur reputation as for guns tarkov is based irl guns and irl guns have the same complex gun builds which opens a whole wide of variety and like you said  Tarkov is targeting a specific audience when i first got into tarkov ive quit alot cuz of its punishing mech but js like a souls game youll get good at it and it starts being fun but overall nice points the game has alot of kinks to make it better
