As someone who only has 600 hours and has played as a solo for the majority, I can't see how someone doesn't notice the difference the Oil Rigs made. I started out in like January, the game had it's good & bad moments, but I enjoyed the game. Was fun fighting rev guys in the 1st 4 hours. But since the new Oil Rig it's been impossible to have a good wipe. I was hyped for the monuments itself, but they turned out to be camping zones for big clans and zergs.
The meta consists of "first come first serve", which means that given clan will probably have a really good wipe. Cargo was fair as it happened only occasionally and was timed.
But before the Oil Rigs, Rust felt alive, like there was a reason to play, to build next to Trainyard etc. Since then, I've been looting Water Treatment, Launch Site and all the others inland monuments without a single PvP moment. Also, I love it when I hear AK & Bolt shots in the first hour. I've done Large Oil Rig twice with a bigger group, it was a fun 1st experience, but it felt way too OP. The amount of stuff we got was ridiculous. Oil Rigs ruined Rust even more by making them so much more worth looting than the good 'ol favorite Military Tunnels.
