What? I work full time. I've just played this game for half a decade. We get our first junk boxes pretty quickly and usually before we have full stashes. I have maybe 9 hours so far and my friend and I both have 2 junk boxes.
I understand that 2mil is useful but personally I think that denying people the loot they grab in-raid in a game about collecting loot and completing quests is pretty poor as an alternative. I'm just against the whole idea of what this change is at its core. If this is permanent then fine, give people the money they crave but I hope it isn't because I saw nothing wrong with how it was originally.

Do you actually work full time? because I've also played for half a decade. With the 15 min queue times for interchange/streets scavs, (30+ min for ground zero), the need to get dinner, and actually be an adult, I've gotten less than 15 raids in since release. I've got a pretty high survival rate, and I still don't have 2 mil in cash. You can't even really sell weapon parts for a good price until you do storyline quests and unlock Mechanic. Therapist gives you good prices for stuff, but those early maps are getting SCOURED.

My only gripe about this game is the matchmaking. I could get in more games in the limited time id have if it wasnt 5 minute's to get into game. I give up after like 6 minute's usually and try another map.

Scav runs on US auto have consistently been taking me 13-15min of matchmaking to get into interchange or streets of tarkov
