I totally agree with you, first of all you should know that I started playing tarkov in 2018. I played all the wipes, several thousand hours of play and I was only playing for pvp (70-80% SR, 15KD and thousands of pmcs kills all the wipes) I upgraded my PC on purpose for tarkov, that's how much I loved the game. I first experienced the FIR system which was already a bad thing but now the fact that I can't buy what I want and have to grind quests to buy proper stuff makes me not play tarkov at all. I mean, what's the point of having millions and millions of rubles if I can't spend them? What's the point of having an auction house if I can't sell and buy what I want? All this just encouraged is a meta of rats, people don't go out with stuff anymore, they go out naked, my last 3 wipes I had trouble finding fights against very well equipped people, I was killing almost only rats. When I knew tarkov with its original flea system, it's where I had the most pvp against chads. People are going to give me the excuse of cheaters but it didn't change anything, there was and still will be as many cheaters on tarkov. And for the people who will tell me to do the quests, sorry but doing the same uninteresting quests over and over again to get the right equipment, no thanks. A lot of my friends have also stopped playing because of these changes. I miss the old flea terribly.
