No I am just use to spending my money wisely and trying to get the best out of it. Then the 16k every round gets rid of the betting on who wins the round. Now it doesn’t matter who win people are just going to get 16k every time no matter what win or lose. Winning 5k on a bet because you were right made you happy. Losing all your money because you bet on the wrong team makes you mad but it was still entertaining. So now since everyone has 16k everyone is going to have 1 frag, 2 flash bangs, 1 smoke, night vision, and everything you need. So some hacker now can come in buy a para and spam head shots! (until admin shows up) But I just like the strategy proportion of the server of using your money. The 16k just gets ride of that now I can come in and buy the best weapons and still lose. I know I haven’t been on lately I have been trying to get a job in this great economy. But I was sadden to come back tonight and see 16k! That’s my reasons why I don’t care for 16k. I could add more but I know I am going to get criticized so whats the point.
Making the betting system irrelevant is a legit reason for not having 16k. The question is do the benefits it provides out-way this. I don’t feel like reposting my arguments from previous threads, but I believe having imbalances in money between two sides is, overall, a bad thing for public servers. This being said, plenty of people in some of the other 16k servers I play in still go around with deagles. Why? Because they enjoy using it. Having 16k doesn’t mean you can’t use cheaper guns. It just means you have your choice out of all the guns. If you choose to buy an AK instead of an UMP, because you want a better shot of actually getting kills, you’re just proving the fact that 16k makes people happier. If it wasn’t a 16k server, you might not have had that choice, you might have been forced to buy a less efficient weapon. You wouldn’t have gotten to play how you wanted to. $800 servers force people to play at a disadvantage. 16k servers allow people to choose if they want to play at a disadvantage or not. If you choose to play evenly, all you’re doing is supporting the logic behind 16k servers. The only exception to this is the first round, when both teams are forced to use pistols. Which can be easily simulated in a 16k server with warm-up rounds, which has already been suggested.
