I’m tired of this

I’ve been playing Escape from Tarkov on and off for about 3 years now. I want to say that this is objectively an amazing game but as of recently (and the previous 2 wipes) I have been losing lots of interest. I understand that when a game is in beta lots of issues will persist but I think BSG as a whole have been making some bad decisions. First of all, the flea market blacklists are atrocious. Not only does it force casual players to use terrible armor, but it also restricts any decent armor (5+) to sweats and cheaters who spend too much time on the game. I feel like I am stuck using the same armor and same exact same guns every single raid. I’m currently sitting at that big gap before mechanic LL3 and it’s difficult to do quests (especially those relating to the resort on Shoreline) when I am constantly outclassed in terms of armor and weaponry. I think it’s a waste of time for Nikita to add all these nice new bits of armor when it is impossible for us casuals to even obtain them. I’ve lost interest in quests and probably won’t ever get Mechanic level 3 before the end of the wipe. I quit. I also want to include that I love this game. It’s unlike any other shooter I have played before and I don’t regret buying EOD at all but it’s difficult to enjoy the gameplay with all of these underlying issues.

I’m happy to hear your thoughts about this and am open to constructive criticism beyond “get good”. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
