First off, yes everyone likely have their own ideas for what could potentially make this game better and at this point we have probably heard them all. Yet, every time I go into certain streams (rhymes with Hair-toss) they are complaining about high tier loot going into the gamma.

Ok, so what would happen if you get rid of that ability? Because they never bring it up. The answer is extract camping would get out of hand. Cheaters wouldn't even have to hunt you down anymore, they could literally just wait for you to leave the raid. Which by the way is something else they complain about consistently.

I don't have any problem with them expressing their opinion, the problem is we know they have the ear of Nikita and other developers from BSG. They could potentially sway BSG to implement some of these changes.

Case in point, the reason we got lower cool downs on Scavs was because Klean initially wanted no cool down at all. Yup he wanted to die as a scav and then instantly go back into the same raid potentially…Nikita wisely said no and lowered it to 10 minutes which then led to the system we have now. Imagine though if Klean got his way and there was no scav cooldown…yeah…

And there are other ideas which have been implemented because of streamers. Some good, some bad. It's something I clearly don't like. I understand taking ideas from the community, but select individuals who live in their echo chambers with their viewers who love every idea regardless of the merits is just plain stupid.
