Escort Services: The Whores of Tarkov

It seems with the efforts to harm the RMT market have had some very interesting effects:
I've noticed quite a few more hyper-aware crack-shot individuals pre-nading every nook and cranny without so much as a mouse-fart in the general area (yes, this includes foot scrapes) who seem to lay down hunter-fire at faces before they are seen… but there's a catch now: They have people with them.

It's not a group of these uber-gamer-chair-having individuals… just 1, but with a ringer who attempts to avoid fighting at all. They are constantly running from cover to cover if under fire, and never seem to shoot back… their buddy however seems to be laying the perfect bullets to clown everyone, and they seem to constantly pick apart entire squads with perfectly placed head-shots. Isn't that an odd situation? A no-skill newbro being carried by another mid-level character who has a weird series of numbers for a name?

I've been seeing quite a few advertisements for boosting services being advertised on YouTube…

Granted, they've been there a while, but it seems now, instead of stealing everything from spawn or avoiding people while speeding through to loot valuables, it's evolved into full-blown rage-cheating services.

RMT changes are being completely circumvented now by simply escorting the buyer around until the cash values are secured.

I -don't- call bullshit often. I've been around since closed Alpha. My list of -seen- cheaters in all the years I've played is rather small. Unfortunately, it seems the problematic people have adopted a scorched-Earth policy as far as Tarkov is concerned.

Am I alone in seeing this uptick recently? I recognize that others have been having issues for a while though.
