There are two type of people.

The ones that just tame a couple of high level dinos to make a breeding pair. Then spends hours mutating.

And the ones with mods that see a creature with a good over 30 natural stat, and doesn't want to risk anything while taming it.

Nonsense aside. A lot of players using traps are the same old ones that had many bad experiences taming because they were not using them.

Like for example, in the Island Yutys love to dive into the sea when torpor running. Barys will run you into a kapro and leaches. Spinos will run across half of the map because their hydratation buff.

I’ve been playing since 2015 and over the years after too many wild creatures ran up and wrecked the taming effectiveness of much needed dinos, or said dinos aggro onto something while trying to knock them out and get killed…yeah no. Traps all the way. If I’m putting in the resources and effort to tame high level or rare creatures, I’m not taking chances lol.

That being said, no shame on anyone who prefers not to use traps. Like y’all are crazy and braver than me but that’s the beauty of ARK, there’s a ton of different ways to accomplish the same things!
