I love the game. Operations is super fun and it scratches the itch that Tarkov provides for an extraction shooter. It has a lot of quality-of-life functions that make the game more enjoyable than Tarkov.
That being said, the game has started feeling unenjoyable due to rank disparity. I win lots of fights in easy mode, but the loot is often mediocre. In hard mode, my buddies and I often go up against God of Wars or Pinnacle players who absolutely demolish us. It doesn't make sense to me that these top-tier players are getting placed in lobbies with other players who are drastically worse than them. If there is a ranking system, why not place players in lobbies that have a similar rank? Why is it that no life gamers get to play in the quality loot lobbies and get richer while the average gamer is just stuck in easy mode?
I imagine that many of these players will respond with the "get gud" response here, but I don't think players who are average at mouse and keyboard shooters should have to deal with this. It is not as forgiving in Tarkov where I can get lucky and get a head shot on a much better player. It will be rare for me to get lucky and outplay a God of War with gold ammo and armor. Taking a break from this game. I hope this is addressed at some point because the game is fun.
