CS Weapon market

[fuzzyrabbit]

Starting on October 11th, the prices of weapons and equipment in Counter-Strike: Source will be updated each week based on the global market demand for each item. As more people purchase a certain weapon, the price for that weapon will rise and other weapons will become less expensive.
Not sure if you guys play css but i think its a good idea to balance the game because T seems to dominate the early rounds with their AKs and late game when they are well fed they can buy awps to end.

Lots of people say its a ♥♥♥♥ idea but i think its great.

again, I don't complain because usp/glock = wtfbbbq pwn already, 900 for DE doesnt bother me much :P

I think it's ok.
Will be a pain in the ass though, I like going "£3,400...just enough for an m4" etc.

Will be good to get people playing with a variety of weapons though - m4, ak and deagle are gonna become like golddust.

The only end result I can see is weeks when everyone goes autoshotty and it all gets horribly messy :)

That's not like real life at all. If more people purchase, the price should come down...

and in real life price goes will go down only if the product is elastic. In the case of guns i'd say they are pretty inelastic because there are no direct subsistutes avaliable. i totally agree with valve here.
