my objective and correct take on the flea market currently:
>Yes, we should keep the flea market
because you (BSG) haven't taken any real steps in making the game and harder tasks manageable without it (Test Drive, Setup, Dandies and more)
>No, remove the flea market
because it could be totally viable if BSG took a week to look at their tasks and added required items accordingly (ak12 suppressor + scope, bomber beanie barter, ushanka barter similar to scav vest)

No FM, or a limited FM is the best option for Tarkov. They just need to make REQUIRED, ESSENTIAL items obtainable without being forced to loot 250 containers to find one (1) of the items, allowing for one (1) attempt at the relevant task. I'm almost 200 raids deep and have yet to find a single ak-12 suppressor, and have found one single Valday despite hitting hundreds of weapon boxes of varying sizes.
Casual dad gamers don't have the money to buy kits off the FM either way even if they keep saying they do.
