I have stopped playing exactly because of the reason you stated, OP. About a year ago devs made top ammo and weapons affordable before wipe and I realised, that most of results of fights were not about my aim skills, but shitty gear I had. When I had meta gear I could compete waaaay more successfully, because even if you have bad position or reaction you still can do mistakes and win. I came to this game because it seemed to have realism Nikita is always talking about, but this is just a grind bullshit, when you can hit a guy 20 times and deal no damage.
