[Discussion] I don't have the patience to play this game anymore

PVP

I came back after not playing for a bit, decided to play really methodical and careful.. Went 10 raids in a row just playing really slow and questing. Killed lots of people, had like a 15+kda in every match, all survives. This is 100% how to play this game very optimally.

But this playstyle just bores the shit out of me. The most optimal way to play this game is time consuming and boring. So normally I play very fast and aggressive which punishes you so hard in this game as a solo queue player.

I would say in about 90% of gun fights where we are both aware of each other I win those. I'm a pretty good shot (most people in Tarkov have terrible ass aim) but the problem is I literally just don't have the patience to play this game anymore to where 90% of the engagements are me getting shot first and having no idea where the other person is.

I have almost 2k hours in this game and I'm totally self-aware that the vast majority of my deaths are because I'm running around like an asshole being stupid. I just know some unemployed dude who has 14 hours a day to play this game is just sitting camping a spot waiting for my ass in most cases.

But yeah I just don't have that dog in me, I try, after waiting for 1 minute I'm bored. I don't have all day to play and I don't want to spend my time playing just waiting

Even if I'm broke from dying all the time and my ammo is shit, my gun is shit, my armor is bad, I still just can't sit and wait for easy kills for people to peak me.

Another thing I really hate about this game is that I don't want to go do ammo farming for hours, I can't even buy ammo that's useful for my guns at level 30. How stupid is this? I have all these guns but my ammo is shit so I can't even use them. LET ME JUST BUY AMMO

So yeah, I sit still for a minute listening and I'm moving and pushing. What honestly happens a lot is I'll play aggressive, push and kill that guy, maybe 2, but there will be a 3rd guy waiting watching the body, or at another angle I don't expect.

People just out-patience me and most of my deaths are just be running around some guy who is just sitting still sipping tea and reading a book hears my ass and kills me instantly.

Anyways, that's my rant. I'm going to go play Deadlock for the next year or something I can't play this shit anymore.
