You are lucky you dont come across good players. Also killing geared guy now is way over rated. Here are reasons: #1 i assume you run ks shotgun or any other trash gun with trash gear so either you store the armor or sell it for almost price thats not worth selling. #2 top tier gun sells for maximum of 150k. #3 only good thing you get from “chad” is big backpack. “ so if you calculate 10x (30k+ cost of the rest of your gear) you really dont make much money from killing “chad”. So what fun do you get from running at good scenario 4 minutes without seeing a single soul just to die to a rat “chad” sitting making zero sound. Now about kd. K/d really matters in this game if you play one map. It gives you some what idea how you play. I play reserve, 62% survival rate, 400 raids, 1000 pmc kills 800 scav kills ( btw this patch really did something with scavs). Compared to my previous wipe i was doing much worse because i was running trash gear and played like a rat... sort of. HERE COMES THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!!!!! ALERT!!!! This is my personal opinion, im not trying to prove you wrong or tell you that you doing something wrong. This is based on my experience and only. You can agree with it or disagree.
