Weren't those cases free drops? If so, what wallet?
He bought like, 3 cases. That's a dead wallet?

Bought them from the Steam market
[QUOTE=ashton93;45692715]Bought them from the Steam market[/QUOTE]
Why would you buy them? They cost a lot more and yet most drops are worse.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;45692762]Why would you buy them? They cost a lot more and yet most drops are worse.[/QUOTE]
because not everybody gets the drops from the tournament, not to mention somebody got a souvenir dragon lore which is easily worth 300 keys+
Jesus christ this whole ~special unique item~ bullshit seems to be even worse than in TF2
What the fuck happened to playing the game?
Sometimes I get the impression people are talking more about drops and skins and hats than the actual game itself.

lmao people still bring up this point? i thought that stopped in like 2012
who gives a fuck if there are ~special unique items~? they do literally the exact same thing in game, it doesn't change anything core at all
stop complaining about pointless bullshit

It deviates from the actual gameplay.
I bought the Orange Box with Team Fortress 2 back on it's release in 2007 and I had the most fun I have had in a multiplayer game in years.
The Team Fortress 2 of today for example is a shell of it's former self because it's bloated with stupid bullshit. I don't mind the new maps or gamemodes but fuck hats and other shit that has nothing to do with the gameplay. Every time you enter a server now half the server population spouts bullshit about HEY LETS TRADE HATS PLS and crafting other shit.
oh no people are enjoying games differently than i enjoy them ohhh nooooo

As a person who has a friend who spent over a THOUSAND DOLLARS on cases + keys and got about 10 percent of his money back (he does not keep the items) - You do not enjoy games by gambling - you go to a casino or buy a lottery ticket for that. It only promotes the wrong idea into game dev's heads, simply put. So eventually it will effect you, as small as it will be. (See : Micro-transactions for single-player games becoming a thing now.)
There are a million more things you could have spent that money on that could either generate you more money or give you at least 5+ hours of enjoyment

I know I am going to get this argument:
"But that's [I]your[/I] opinion! They can spend money how they want! - Yeah I guess they can, but it still stands that they could get a million times more enjoyment out of anything else then gambling on incredibly low odds for a low payout.

your friends an idiot, i've also never seen people stop in a CS:GO match and talk about trading weapons

you're on some pretty shitty servers if that happens, you should find a new one
also nobody ever begs for trades in csgo
ever
you can still play the game without having any skins/items/hats/whatever just like somebody with items
also tf2 is bloated with items that get in the way of you playing the game such as:
just a reminder, some of these souvenir boxes go for 15 euros from ESL ONE. Dreamhack 2013. that had alot of drops go for like 15 euros and the lowest they went was 8 euros

These skins look like utter shit, who the FUCK wants a pink AWP?
I doesnt matter to me, a skin is a skin. Just use the damn thing, this isn't a war against glamor.
typical anomaly video

I plan on getting a Pink DDPAT AWP pretty soon, so I hope that answers your question.

Different strokes for different folks
This one's by the same guy. A lot funnier in my own opinion. 0:35 to be more specific.

I get back on TF2 every now and then, and I honestly don't care about cosmetics.
It never affected my game and I can still shoot players no matter what kind of cosmetics they had on their character.
Holy shit man. Those are ugly ass skins, and they are that much money? I mean cmon, custom weapons / models I could KINDA understand.

you play on the wrong servers then
I mean you're judging a game where the last incarnations of it had players playing in desert settings as Arctic snow terrorists. I can guarantee that nobody plays CS for it's artstyle or story, so the sense of item customization and personalization is very cool. Even if it does involve something as ridiculous as GUN STICKERS.

Trust me I try to play on "vanilla" labeled TF2 servers whenever I can if I feel like TF2. The vast majority of those servers are empty though, or run group events that you have to abide to.
Of course I can play any game without using any skins myself, however I cannot disable the ability to view everyone else's shitty skins/hats/whatever.
This brings me on to another point, the fact that the skins/hats ruin the game artstyle. Mostly a problem in TF2, also a problem in CSGO but a bit less so.
Let's use TF2 as an example. You have the base artstyle which is a cartoony 50's style. A pretty unique one if you ask me. Then with the bloated mess that is the current state of TF2 suddenly I have people running around with lime-green severed bunny heads as hats and hyper technological deus-ex sniper rifle skins. It completely fucks up the artstyle of the game.
It's not that bad when you have a simple sortof authentic camo skin but when you start having completely out of place colors you might as well start plastering mountain dew and doritos logos allover the guns while you're at it.
Then it's just the fact that I really dislike the marketing practice of selling cosmetics, sure it's not as bad as pay2win and Valve obviously makes a ton of money off it. At least most of it drops.

looks better than any other awp skin

This is why Global Offensive is yet to show any signs of turning into Team Fortress 2. Weapon skins are unobtrusive and people don't really care about them when actually playing the game. There's a lot of trading, but nobody spams the chat of a comp server with trade offers. In fact, most trading is done outside of the game altogether on CSGOLounge.

I played a match a few hours ago where my team mate said he had to go afk for a trade and threw 2 rounds.
I tried to kick him but his clan was there and blocked it. Was bullshit
