4Game

When I got Tarkov 4 years ago I knew what I was buying. The devs own statements talked about how grueling the learning curve was, how difficult it was. How just surviving and doing nothing else is a victory.
Every streamer and review on Youtube layed out exactly what you were getting into.

So why is this sub riddled with complaints about the unfairness of it all? Newer players think players who have been playing for years like myself have an unfair advantage. Casuals complaining about how people (like myself) who are level 50+ have an unfair advantage in terms of skills, hideout functionality, gear, etc.
I put more time into the game, so yeah, I expect that I'll have better stuff, high skills, and a general advantage over someone who doesn't play as much. Am I crazy for thinking this?

I was exactly where you guys are right now. I wasn't good at the game, I spent 2 wipes scared in a bush. But I never blamed it on other players because I knew what I was getting into when I got the game. I focused on myself, improving my own skills at the game, learned how to PVP with the gear, in-game skills and roubles I had, and surmounted (to a point) the challenges Tarkov threw at me.

It's still a hard game despite my elite skills and meta gear. I still lose a lot of my engagements, and I still make a lot of mistakes. But I think about those mistakes and learn from them. I don't sit there and complain that I WOULD have won that fight if ONLY the player I engaged didn't have a bitcoin farm that they used to make money so that they can afford m61 because that's super unfair that someone else is better at managing the game's resources than me.
