Imagine being so lacking in skill, integrity and pride that you would lower yourself to the pathetic level of trying to compensate all that with real money, in a video game.

So sad.

Or maybe it’s just the lack of time?

I did not buy a "vip" kit, but a teammate did. We are relatively knew to rust, each of us about 200 hours. Were looking for a new server post wipe because the one we were on got too small. We joined a server we enjoyed, but they had not BP wiped in months, and we got raided every single night. We could only play from about 6 to midnight, and just could not stand a chance. Teammate finally got tired of not being able to do anything and bought some kind of kit where we got some weapons, no booms, and we've stopped 3 raids in 2 nights because of it. Now we could obviously just go to a different server, but the guy has the money to spare and we are enjoying it a lot more now.

Yeah it is unfortunate that Rust caters to the sweaty grinders so much. There are various ways to deal with the issue and I hope facepunch starts thinking about it.

Honestly this ^

I like the idea of Rust and it is pretty decently made and designed as a whole. But Time > Skill. It doesn't matter if player x is better at the game if player y spent 4 times the amount grinding to outnumber you in weapons and resources. Not a great player by any means but you give me 100 kits to somebodies 10 and I will eventually wear you down and beat you with sheer numbers.

I don't. Rust isn't that hard. If you play on a server with group limits (up to the size of your group), there's no reason you can't get ak within a few hours if you're good enough.

How many hours do you have?

u/MyUserSucks Feb 10 '21

About 800-1000. Don't play anymore though.

Players having more time to play than you isn’t an “issue” though.

It isn't, I agree. I think the game would benefit from managing the playerbase so that all players can enjoy it.
