cs:s weapon price increase

[cryotek]

Hot off the mail list for valve:

Quote:Might I be the first to state that this is perhaps the DUMBEST thing VALVe
has ever done (that I know of). For those of you who do not know what I am
talking about, read up at http://www.steampowered.com/stats/csmarket/. It
appears to me that VALVe is continually trying to ruin CS:Source to prevent
the game from being a viable alternative to CS: 1.6 in online competitive
and LAN professional gaming venues. Poor play.

and of course my reply to it goes:

Quote:Haha, Valve tries too hard.

Its a Game, not real life, yes i know they want to base CS as much as real
life gun combat as bpossible, there is a thin line to cross before going too
far, and I think they crossed it with this.
If you wanna make it real life, then once a player dies in cs, he/she should
no longer be able to play cs EVER because well, in realife you don't just
respawn =]

Here is the latest buzz on this from Alfred:

Quote:There will be a cvar controlling this new functionality, mp_dynamicpricing, you can disable it if you wish by setting its value to 0

[Fathom]

Hrmm I hope they don't change it. I'm sort of set in my ways with how I like to play.

[Drocona]

They should implent cvars which set the prices

[troyton]

Hmm i guess its kinda good cause now people wont be using the same gun all the time ^^ , my clan also think its a good idea for the same reason ^^

I really think its a dumb idea and im glad now that they have that cvar to disable it. I heard that they got a petition by like 50000 league players that there should be a cvar and thats why they did it lol.
