Do people also hate overprogressing?

Everytime I start a playthrough, I always find myself overweighted by the amount of guns, weapons and armors i was able to procure in the span of 2-3 days(and I always play with no hope mod on) and quickly lose interest on the playthrough because it doesn't feel like the zombie survival scenario that was playing on my head when I started it. I tried playing wilderness but felt like it's not the part I'm trying to itch when playing the game.
