Lore-wise, scavs are now stealing your money.

Gameplay-wise, you won't get anything back from these, instead your money contributes here https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/cash

rumors are saying that when the counter reaches a certain number, something will happen

[tough oyster]

so scavs just stole 300k from me

[spiral flicker]

Wtf is this

I am not giving my money to scavs

Fuck them

They should give money to me

[spiral flicker]

Yea, our money will be gone. Thats all what is gonna hapen

No

[marsh harbor]

THAT is weird to you

[serene reef]

[prime comet]

Therapist was the only one

[serene reef]

i think its fence rep bound

[marsh harbor]

I sold it to fence this morning

for 350ish K

a few hours ago

[marsh harbor]

[serene reef]

:')

[prime comet]

He’s

[marsh harbor]

just the boxes?

[prime comet]

He’s your Only option rn

[marsh harbor]

or everything we do with fence?

[tough oyster]

hes selling btc too

[prime comet]

But my meta sr25 was gonna cost 110k to insure with him

[serene reef]

hes selling everything you sell to him

[sterile minnow]

Trusting fence w your shit

[prime comet]

Where with prapor its normally 30k

[serene reef]

thats why you can buy intel folders sometimes xD

for 100k xD

[tough oyster]

when u buy fuel from him, is it full?

[prime comet]

Not normally

[serene reef]

WHAT A NICE LINE BTW

LOOK ITS MORE STRAIGHT THEN I EVER WERE

[prime comet]

He’s always sold btc

[tough oyster]

but why would anyone buy it

[prime comet]

He sells what people sell to him

[tough oyster]

u cant do anything with it

[prime comet]

Trading servers

It’s a big currency in them

[serene reef]

yup i always keep my btc

in case i want to give some to a friend or a new player

tell them to buy some good gear and run it

[marsh harbor]

no

his fuel is an empty can

for like 60K?

[serene reef]

Obv it is

[marsh harbor]

so yea, again

are the scav boxes the only thing that counts?

[serene reef]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they are the only thing that we have confirmed information of counting, no?

[marsh harbor]

you can get decent guns off of fence no

wait!

did we just all get the upgraded fence?

[serene reef]

yes you can occasionally

[marsh harbor]

no, it's actually pretty consistent now

[serene reef]

ill back out of the raid

[marsh harbor]

every refresh has something decent

[serene reef]

to see

[marsh harbor]

just had a modded SR25 for 200K

100 DUR

[serene reef]

yeah

[marsh harbor]

100 DUR armors

[serene reef]

people are selling good guns from stashes

[marsh harbor]

like troopers

[serene reef]

because they lack money for repairs etc

[marsh harbor]

sure, its expensive

but still

[serene reef]

your answer is no

[marsh harbor]

thankfully, I've not sold my repair kit

[serene reef]

i have more than one :D

ive bought like 4

xD

[rain wing]

man idk if that was a hacker or some shit but I was getting shot through the wall as a scav and I got hit with the weakest fucking bullets in the game

I took like 30 damage LOL

[marsh harbor]

Is thor a good armor?

for a 4?

[serene reef]

mid

[marsh harbor]

I'd assume shit repairability?

[woven fiber]

i have 2 armor repair kits but cant use

[marsh harbor]

since its mixed?

[serene reef]

nah

[rain wing]

wait

[serene reef]

feels like its glitched

[rain wing]

fence is buying some stuff more than it'd be worth on flea

💀

[serene reef]

getting the top10% consistently

[karmic axle]

feels good

cleared rogue camp as scav

and spread the waelth to other player scavs

[rain wing]

it's all cleared out for me

[karmic axle]

xd\

i just killed the front two

[rain wing]

wtf

[sterile minnow]

No scav on scav violence??

[rain wing]

vpxs were what

90k?

while flea was a thing

[karmic axle]

[split dagger]

Vpx is 90k to therapist

[sterile minnow]

Not sure if were playing the same game

[serene reef]

[karmic axle]

[serene reef]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MONEY IN SAFES

ive hit 2 safes

[split dagger]

[serene reef]

like 4 money spawns

[rain wing]

[split dagger]

Use that money to bring back traders faster

[karmic axle]

bro this shit sells more than flea

[rain wing]

EXACTLY

WTF IS HAPPENING

LMFAO

FREE MONEY

[split dagger]

What you going to do with it

[limber notch]

Exactly

[split dagger]

Only thing you can spend money is scav case

[rain wing]

[split dagger]

So do that and bring traders faster

[rain wing]

cause I'm greedy

[karmic axle]

[fervent ermine]

How much is ledx

[rain wing]

lighthouse solves all your problems

[limber notch]

I clicked use all instead of filter by item or whatever

To put on flea

[cold fog]

No I remember that, I'm trying to figure out why the hell Fences prices got so good

And the whack safe spawns

[rain wing]

bro nikita is high as shit wtf

[split dagger]

If we reach the money goal faster we will get traders back sooner

[serene reef]

or if we dont get the money we wipe

[split dagger]

Nah its some event

[serene reef]

Nah my ass

i can say nah its not even its prewipe and what i say is the same value as you saying what you just did

[karmic axle]

this is all the space i have left 😦

[serene reef]

xD

mood

[karmic axle]

Hoarders

be like

[serene reef]

im not a hoarder

im just smart with my loot usage

ayo mk18 from marked

had to examine it 😂

[marsh harbor]

have raids been weaker?

since people have no money?

[serene reef]

oh depends

but deffo it changed

just ran into someone with nvgs in dorms night time

im using a flash

he took 2 points from my redut

dunno what level he was

last raid as i said i was 95kg

like 4 stacks of BP ammo

from unloade mags

and decent really decent guns

with scopes etc

tv110 mmac and smthn else

some t5

so def it forced people to use their good gear they were saving

and if they died with that it forced them to rat if they still play

but i feel its mostly the strong players now

[karmic axle]

Me who still wont use my good gear

[serene reef]

not the ones pvp gifted etc

[karmic axle]

and proceeds to rat every single raid

[serene reef]

but the ones that managed to save up lots of money and gear

[cold fog]

Me running scav gear and dying a lot lmao

[karmic axle]

i struggle to bring out trooper armor

crippling gear fear

[cold fog]

Tbqh it's not even gear fear, I just can't buy ammo

[karmic axle]

what ammo u need?

[cold fog]

Uhh. Can't remember off the top of my head

[limber notch]

Dude, how? I literally can not deal with walking out of raid while im in red. Its too slow. No one has the time for that

[cold fog]

Have a couple guns that need rounds tho

[limber notch]

Try reserve for ammo

Especially 5.45

[karmic axle]

bro 2 in a row

[cold fog]

I think one is a mutant, and the other is... tbqh I just got it I have no clue

[limber notch]

So 7.62 for sure

U can find some ps on scavs and lying around

And bp on guards and raiders

[karmic axle]

broo

grizzly or fuel ;-;

[rain wing]

loothouse 😍

[cold fog]

Gotcha. I think the other one might use 566. Tbh I think I have mags for it but I'm not super familiar with the gun so I'm worried if I take it in raid I'll lose it. So I guess that one is gear fear lmao

[rain wing]

556 you won't get good ammo till much later

[tacit ferry]

Where do you find the repair kits on LJ

LH

[limber notch]

What do repair kits do? Basic repair for free or better quality too?

[rain wing]

I'll send an ss later

don't have the map rn

[rain wing]

repair for free

I just sell

[tacit ferry]

In water treatment?

[rain wing]

[tacit ferry]

rogues didn’t shoot you?

[rain wing]

[rain wing]

[naive anchor]

I Think Ik u lolol

[tacit ferry]

[naive anchor]

Haha

[karmic axle]

the point is to kill them

[cold fog]

Probably gonna try and scav run reserve again when I get home. Hopefully don't get killed by another scav this time lmao

[rain wing]

I don't bother

treasure spawns > guns

[karmic axle]

xd

now not really

if u got money

no point if u got no guns

[old prism]

The guns often have very expensive silencers and scopes tho

[stray drum]

how do yall get out with loot? Most of my raids are just: Loot a place, kill some guys, dip with the loot to my extract and get killed at extract or just when im going there

i always get jumped

are there any tips for extracting safer or just general survival tips XD

or should i just git gud

[arctic zealot]

Mostly git gud but u could try waiting if u think people are near extract or using different extract. A lot of the time u can predict roughly when people will be around places based on raid time

or maybe u arent waiting around for the last people in a group. If u kill 1 or 2 pmcs they may have friends nearby

[stray drum]

yea true i mostly just jump n the body right after killing it

maybe not the smartest idea...

[arctic zealot]

Ya that is risky

[old prism]

What maps are you playing and which extract are you dying en route to

[stray drum]

i just hate getting kills and then just dying, but i guess thats just how it is

[stray drum]

i rotate maps alot but mostly customs in this case

maybe also cause people come over to the gunshots

[wicked jolt]

This event seems really bad for a level 6 lol, guess I'll wait until it's over. Can't do tasks or anything which is unfortunate. Seems fun if you have a lot of stuff tho

[old prism]

If ur running solo the suppressor will save your life. Customs unfortunately has 3 routes and its likely youll run into players on every route.

[rain wing]

in the next few days it'll do me loads

[old prism]

Just scav and then wear the scav kit in. You can get plenty of xp just from raiding ao itll be alright

[stray drum]

so basically just suppressor and just avoid busy roads?

well thanks for the advice, The rest is probably just being good!

[remote kettle]

@stray drum customs is a haven for third parties and getting jumped going to extracts, its filled to the brim with chokepoints and its quite a short map, so its hard to avoid people

[stray drum]

yea i figured that, i just have alot of qeusts on there and like the pvp.

[old prism]

I would use a suppressor. The safest extracts are smugglers boat and the dorms car. After that, the door under stronghold and ruaf are safe-ish if youve already cleared the path to them.

Old gas is probably the third safest one actually.

[fervent ermine]

Dorms isn’t safe?

[old prism]

The others are shitshows because of just how much of a small map you need to travel

[fervent ermine]

The amount of times i’ve been domed by people in third story

[old prism]

Dorms v-ex is the safest extract you have if you're already at dorms doing quests.

[fervent ermine]

Most likely will run into people at dorms pvping

[split trellis]

i need to buy somew shit what boomers decided it was a good idea to remove traders

[fervent ermine]

Which will probably kill you while legging it away

[old prism]

He said he was doing quests. That means he is most likely already at dorms.

[stray drum]

i mostly just try to go ruaf or zb 13

[stray drum]

yea i am

v-ex is pretty safe tho right?

even if there are people in 2 story or something like that

[split dagger]

Nothing is safe on customs

[stray drum]

true XD

very true sadly....

[split dagger]

Its a nice map

Runs good and there is pvp

[stray drum]

nice for pvp not so much for escaping

[old prism]

For me personally id rather try to hide for 55 seconds than run 2 minutes to zb13

[fervent ermine]

Also all players can see if vehicle is being used right?

[stray drum]

really?

[fervent ermine]

The amount of times that has fucked me on woods

[old prism]

You can double tap o to see if its being used yeah

[stray drum]

oh damn thats good to know

can you also see if its been used or not?

[old prism]

I think it turns red. But it might just be grey, like it is if it didnt spawn

[stray drum]

oh ok thx

[small robin]

kinda subjective but, best map to use snipers on?

[fervent ermine]

It turns red

[fervent ermine]

I would say woods, i never get into cqb

Kinda based on opinion

I use it on woodss

[merry swift]

Lighthouse

Woods and shoreline are OK too

[small robin]

I've used it on woods, mostly just scav town, that was the only place i could get a good vantage point, will try lighthouse and shoreline tho

[old prism]

woods, shoreline, lighthouse, interchange[exterior]

[prime comet]

Lighthouse always

[small robin]

never went to interchange, ever, will try

[merry swift]

There's not a lot of sniper spots on interchange tbh. The map is mostly just a nascar track outside with very little cover

[small robin]

what yall do with snipers on lighthouse? snipe out the turrets and loot?

[old prism]

check out a video on stash running interchange. You can do that to get money/gear/random items while trying to snipe guys heading towards their exfil

[merry swift]

If I were to farm rogues I'd grab a DMR. I run sniper on lighthouse purely for fun to snipe PMCs and player scavs

[urban wolf]

Why these scavs need 1.5 trillion

[old prism]

farm all the rogues, loot and leave in less than 10 minutes OR kill the rogues and wait around for playerscavs and PMCs to wander there and snipe them while they try to loot the rogues

[merry swift]

I think the reason why it's a good sniper map is because PMCs will be sitting still a lot while farming rogues

[remote kettle]

LK*

[small robin]

if only i could snipe non scavs, gotta learn how much to lead my shots

[merry swift]

Depends on the rifle you're using

For most of em it's less than you think you need to lead.

[old prism]

use tracer rounds to learn bullet drop and velocity

[small robin]

ive got the remington 700 rn i think

[old prism]

shoot m62 if you have it, then, thats the tracer round

[small robin]

i used svs and vpos, lead too much i think

[old prism]

just be mindful that tracers work both ways

[merry swift]

VPO you gotta lead more than the SVD

[small robin]

dont have it unfortunately, no tracers either

[old prism]

m62 is the tracer round, not a gun

I don't know what the tracer is for the russian snipers off the top of my head sadly

[urban wolf]

BT

[small robin]

welp💀

[remote kettle]

t-46 and bt i think

[small robin]

dont have any of that either!

[old prism]

oh does the bt mean ballistic tracer? I thought it meant ballistic tip.

[urban wolf]

Buy t46

But its shit

Ballistic tank

[merry swift]

I personally never use tracers in bolt actions

You're not gunna be able to get a quick followup shot to adjust

[urban wolf]

I use gornostay

[merry swift]

And it gives your position away

[small robin]

i cant see the shot either way cuz i cant watch the shot, my character just cycles instantly

[old prism]

I always use DMRs when I have a chance over a bolt action like the other guy said, but obviously we are in trying times.

[merry swift]

You hold fire

Dont click, hold

[old prism]

hold the fire button down, it'll keep the scope steady instead of racking the next shot

[small robin]

ohhh, thank you mate!

[merry swift]

Then your PMC wont cycle instantly

[old prism]

I learned that after like 3 years of playing randomly watching a pestily video where he sniped from reserve dome lmao

[small robin]

only PMCs? why not scavs

[urban wolf]

Me being me, i disassembled all my guns, threw out all the cheap stuff and kept the rest; knowing i could buy them from traders whenever

[old prism]

[urban wolf]

Example: pistol grips

[old prism]

bad time coming home yesterday to play then huh

[small robin]

poor dude😭 i threw out a bunch of "useless" meds

[urban wolf]

Its ok ive been farming cultists

No1 is even contesting me

[merry swift]

Probably because a lot of people dont like this event 😄

[old prism]

plus even some of the chads are out of gear by now

or out of patience. think tony said he was just going to do viewer kits today because he doesn't like playing tetris

[small robin]

smart people bought up all the ammo they could find when we reached 30k likes off the flee market

[merry swift]

Im expecting wipe after this

So just doing fun runs now

[old prism]

really? I feel like the wipe will go for at least 1 or 2 more months. this would be a very strange prewipe

[merry swift]

In my experience almost every wipe lately has been preceeded by an economy destroying event

Like this one.

[inner mountain]

no wipe til christmas 😜

[prime comet]

There’s no shot this is the prewipe event

[old prism]

the won't wipe without part 1 of streets, assuming this is the lighthouse expansion

[prime comet]

I’m sat at 25mil with next to no gear other than bad rogue guns and nothing to buy

Streets is nowhere near ready

[old prism]

they said they'll release in slices, so in 2 months I wouldn't be that surprised if they gave us a corner of streets

[prime comet]

Like a 4-6 man mini version would be cool

One of the best players I play with is returning when streets comes out

I’d end up giga chadded when he plays again like I was before

[old prism]

If streets is as huge as they imply it to be, its mini version would be more like 12+

[prime comet]

Imagine the stutter

Loothouse is bad enough

[inner mountain]

if any new players need a guide hmu im around 1000 hours played I dont mind helping new guys dm if interested

[old prism]

i don't experience any stutter atm but I'm sure streets full planned playercount of 64+ would kamehameha my cpu

[dawn geyser]

lmfao Kamehameha your CPU

We'll see, i'm sure they're doing some next level optimizations to it

It being the size it is

And the player count

[old prism]

[inner mountain]

lighthouse already has performance issues for alot of people

adding mad players would nuke alot of peoples setups

[dawn geyser]

Yeah, it was tough.

I run decent gear and was still having problems

@pure talon Poor zeed

[old prism]

what's LH playercount?

[dawn geyser]

9-12

[karmic axle]

With player scavs 16-20

[old prism]

That's it? I thought LH had more

[dawn geyser]

Oh god. don't trigger me

Lighthouse scavs spawn in at like 5 minutes post start, it's insane

[pure talon]

an uphill battle as usual ;)

[karmic axle]

thats why

night raids

[old prism]

yesterday i was spawning in with 33 minutes left on lighthouse which was kekw for sure

[merry swift]

Make that 3

[dawn geyser]

Yeah?

[old prism]

picked up a bitcoin because no one had even got to the chalet yet

[merry swift]

I spawned in as early as 37:xx, 36:xx is very common

[dawn geyser]

They need to change that.

[merry swift]

I feel like the scavs are a little more spaced out now but early wipe 36 mins was scav o'clock

[dawn geyser]

Very annoying to deal with

[merry swift]

Yea for sure

Like for farming rogues it was almost better to run a scav because they could spawn closer and sometimes reach the treatment before PMCs did

Pretty silly stuff

[dawn geyser]

Mhm

[old prism]

it reminds me of reserve scavs back in 2020 lmao

it also doesn't feel fair that you can scav into a raid... where someone scavved in 15 minutes before you did. spawning at 17 in the same spot someone spawned at 33 is wild

[dawn geyser]

Spawn in, walk 10 steps, find a PMC, kill him, walk another 10 steps, extract heating pipe

[old prism]

pmc ain't even done looting the boxes in the underground warehouse near trains and already pscavs on his ass on god

[sinful valve]

Did you guys hear about the actual amount needed for the event?

I think it’s like 1.5 trillion rubles

[old prism]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/cash there's a real time tracker @sinful valve

[sinful valve]

We probably won’t get that in 4-5 days

Also, nice pfp

[old prism]

[plush rune]

hey do we know if when wipe is coming i heard very soon etc but not sure looking for some clarity

[old prism]

months away imo

[shrewd hatch]

No one knows for sure but it’s likely going to be in June

[austere hound]

Oshit it has a goal now

I already gave 22m. I can't realistically do more til traders come back lol

[serene reef]

how much did you donate

[cold fog]

bruh. just spawned in as scav, immediately got rushed by a pmc

how did he even know?

[crystal oracle]

Lmao

Rip

[cold fog]

I know factory is a tiny map but he was like, immediately sprinting

didn't even have time to check my loadout

[sage grove]

i just got the game how do i unlock traders

i only have fence

[tired needle]

You dont

[sage grove]

?

[tired needle]

Not until the dev gets their jollies off

[mint light]

dont scav factory

[tired needle]

They are running an even that truly fucks over new players

[sage grove]

ffs

[tired needle]

The high level players are truly loving rubbing low levels players faces in it and going with the what git gud

[fair sentinel]

is the new event only progressed by scav cases or generally money given to fence (ie. buying stuff from him)?

[static nebula]

blame nikita 😛

[crystal oracle]

Gotta wait until event ends or wait until people donate enough for traders to come back

[tired needle]

The event was never about Twitter he even said so after

Hence them fucking with people rather than communicating like adults

[crystal oracle]

"It was planned from the start"

He was just hinting towards it

[naive anchor]

I got a slick out of it imao ;D

[crystal oracle]

Bro all the chads running factory now

[fair sentinel]

also how am I supposed to hand in tasks?

[tired needle]

I was enjoying the game alot more until I had to deal with the player base on here that's for sure

[plush rune]

is there a reason why I dont have any traders available to me and im lvl 23?

[stiff crystal]

If this was how they started wipes I'd be super down. Only fence untill you find other traders

[tired needle]

You arent

[spiral flicker]

You don't

[naive anchor]

Skav runs are good on factory

[crystal oracle]

Event

Traders are locked for 5 days

Same with flea

[plush rune]

ohh damm im sorry i dont get to play a ton nor check out the news whats the reason for that?

[naive anchor]

Got the helmet chest and shotgun I have equipped in 1 scav run on factory

[plush rune]

just to spice things up orr

[spiral flicker]

LH expansion when?

[tired needle]

I stopped playing until thisnis over as a lvl 14 I'm not feeding high level players who had equipment and war chests built up. Fuck this poorly thought out stunt

[static nebula]

you almost unlucked flea 😢

[tired needle]

Exactly

[plush rune]

to then not even get it for 5 more days

lol lame

[tired needle]

And when I say this blows I get to listen to the git gud crowd.

[spiral flicker]

I not playing much because I don't have mags and I ran only juice runs so

[merry swift]

You'd imagine these playerscavs learn at some point not to loot a pile of bodies 5 high

[plush rune]

shit kits and empty hidey holes FTW

[bold kernel]

Yes

[static nebula]

i can donate you some 545 mags 😛

[spiral flicker]

I don't have 5.45 guns rn

[austere hound]

Nah. Most people play pscavs like they're disposable.

[plush rune]

true

[tired needle]

I'd hit that pile on the off chance I get away with it.

[static nebula]

how does a pile of bodies 5 high look?

[tired needle]

All that loot

[plush rune]

if someone needs mags ive got 4 mags cases full of all types i would willingly toss you a few

[merry swift]

Evidently 😄

[wild axle]

I’m trying to find more people to play with playing solo boring af

[spiral flicker]

I play mostly duo

Sometimes trio

[wild axle]

Word

[plush rune]

ive got a samll group of 3 to 4 that are decently good im the shitty one of the bunch but I still get me some kills

lol

they are lvl40 and 46 im only 23

[wild axle]

I’m not doing so hot cuz I’m on bad standings with fence and those scavs are ruthless

[static nebula]

you should try running some zvezda ammo

[wild axle]

I’m only lvl 8 lmao

[plush rune]

whats that lol ZVEZDA AMMO

[sinful valve]

I just realized it’s April 28th

[static nebula]

flashbang shotgun ammo

[sinful valve]

I assume there’s no updates or anything today?

[spiral flicker]

Flashbang round

Nope

[sinful valve]

Damn

[plush rune]

can you even buy that ammo or how is it aquired ?

[sinful valve]

Craft

[plush rune]

ive got my hideout as far lvld as i can i cant do much more untill i get mechasnic to lvl 3 which is at 30

[static nebula]

praptor sells it later

[merry swift]

When you're bear you can

Usec's can't

[weary crown]

are traders and flea still gone?

[plush rune]

yup

[weary crown]

petition to fire nikita

send him to gulag

[tulip gate]

[tulip gate]

it's for 4 more days

[weary crown]

it must be wipe soon

pulling this shit

[mighty ledge]

erm guys, whats the hotkey for quick bag drop?

[static nebula]

take off the grips and mags from the guns

[weary crown]

is there even a hot key for discard

[spiral flicker]

I think its double z

[violet crystal]

del

[spiral flicker]

Yea

[old prism]

double z or del when hovering over it in tab

[mighty ledge]

thanks

[serene reef]

zz

also ctrl leftclick to transfer items between inventories

alt leftclick to try to equip them

[static nebula]

delete to drop them 😉

[serene reef]

and shift leftclick to put items into sorting table if open

[spiral flicker]

Bro I wonder if bsg can do this event even worse then it is

[static nebula]

they should make fence rep gains x20 😉

and losses too of course

[spiral flicker]

Nah

[static nebula]

yea

[spiral flicker]

20x is too much

[static nebula]

what about gains x2 and losses x20?

that would be balanced

[spiral flicker]

Idc I don't kill scavs

I have 5.7 scav karma

[vagrant cargo]

Imagine if THEY also remove stash, you just get what you wear

[static nebula]

i have 3.7 😦

[vagrant cargo]

I have 0

Don’t play scav

[static nebula]

and no car extract?

[vagrant cargo]

i dont bring money

[static nebula]

but you find money on scavs sometimes

[spiral flicker]

NEWS
There will be long raining so the water will get in your hideout.
Nikita: stash gone

Joking

Btw

Not real

Gardred u don't have docs or sick?

[static nebula]

new stash for every player for the event would be actually good btw

[spiral flicker]

No

How long is this active

[cold fog]

as long as it takes

[spiral flicker]

I mean

When it started

I am 3 head

[spiral flicker]

That's juice

[frank condor]

How am I supposed to buy ammo and guns???

[plush rune]

fence or find it

i guess

[frank condor]

Oh boy

[spiral flicker]

I saw 3 ppl actually saying that this event is good

Bruv

[tacit ferry]

was 115m this morning

[spiral flicker]

115 mil?

[analog fulcrum]

these no flea or trader events looking kindof like prewipe events, or is it way too early for wipe yet?

[spiral flicker]

115 000 000 this os 115 mil

[jaunty cliff]

Its not prewipe

Wipe is like 2 months away

[spiral flicker]

Probably

[jaunty cliff]

Yea

But

Am i dumb

Or

Never mind

[tacit ferry]
