BSG has stated for as long as I can remember that post 1.0 wipes will cease. Then the Dropocalypses™ happened and they decided that they would be adding an additional PMC or character that would wipe every so often. I think they sort of decided before that but they didn't really talk about it as they weren't sure how to handle it. This raised some questions as to how it was going to work. Things like…

• What would happen to the gear the seasonal PMC gets?
• How would the FM be handled with this new PMC? Would they even have access to it?
• Why would people even want to participate in the seasons aside from being bored sitting in a bush with thermals watching a specific truck because it has a pocket watch in it?

Well if they gave the practice mode a SP/Co-op progression sequence they could easily treat the end of wipe as a giant insurance return but you only have say 24 hours to claim your gear. Hideout and trader progression could be what your score is based on and any fancy new watches, dogtags, or other misc drip you unlocked in that seasonal run becomes available to your both your SP/co-op PMC as well as any subsequent seasonal PMCs. That takes care of the first and third points; the second point I'm kind of torn on.

We all know that Nikita hates the FM and has been quoted as being one of the biggest regrets he has in making EFT. I and many others are 100% for keeping the FM as the game stands, however if they were to implement that SP/co-op progression I would be fine with complete abolishment of the FM and I think a lot of players would as well. This way you don't have to worry about SP/co-op people boosting their seasonal runs with gear they've acquired over the years nor having to somehow split the postings into seasonal/non-seasonal as there just wouldn't be any postings. If it was deemed that the FM needed to stay there would need to be separate FMs for seasonal and non-seasonal PMCs. I think however any reasonable excuse Nikita gets to get rid of it he will take and as far as excuses go, this is a damn good one.

Tarkov is on the threshold of going from a household name to a legendary title forcing all other studios to step up their game even more and this change would vault it there. It would be the only shooter we would need to play until TA and Russia 2028 at least (which better have fukkin co-op).

EDIT :: Seeing as the coward blocked me in fear of being proven wrong.

Notice how I have no time frame of when the FM could be removed. I'm clearly implying removing the FM during a major update and all large scale changes are. It doesn't take a genius to see that. Run and hide little one, run and hide.
