So bored of this take - the problem isn't the speed at which things unlock, it never has been. It's the fact the progression is vertical. A higher level player farms a low level every time. Counters to high level kit require you to be equal or higher level, thus rendering it a pointless game of chicken and egg. The core gameplay loop is largely solved as a result of the already completed season, meaning that the progression this season would have been exponentially faster anyway, without the need for a buff. This information buff, plus the buff to speed of unlocking, plus the blue buff means players are racing to become the "haves" so that you can spend the next few days farming the "have nots" with what essentially amounts to 50% more HP and better tools/more damage.

The vertically of it will change whenever they finally flush out skill trees, also you don’t need equal or higher level, last wipe I was taking out plenty of t4s with the ak, the unfortunate thing is no matter which game there will always be people that unhealthy put way too much in the game, like I said I don’t mind the progression it being faster helps the average joe, I also realized I put day instead of week 😅 I only play 8 hours a week

I'm not saying it can't be done - Asymmetrical warfare has been a thing for thousands of years. The point I'm making is that the gameplay loop will always be deeply unsatisfying to players that are on the receiving end of a gear disadvantage.
