SO think he made that post as to help the server as he stated he can buy in 0 time and wanted to have the buy time set to 0 so him what other conclusion could be drawn from that?
Well, I think any number of conclusions can be drawn. First, he never stated that he can buy in zero time (as that WOULD be impossible without a script). What I inferred is that he can buy relatively faster than most other people on the server. One could make the argument (and I play devil’s advocate here), that the ability to buy quickly can be likened to a skill or ability, the possession of which merits some reward (i.e. increased ability to rush). I can’t think of any map (except perhaps in some instances dust2) where this would allow someone to kill somebody as they buy (particularly if it were a 3 or 4 second timer), but it WOULD allow them to position themselves in a more advantageous location on account of their superior buying ability.
Again, I play devil’s advocate on this, not so suggest a zero buy time is the right solution, but only to point out that questioning somebody’s intentions in the manner that was done, may not be the best way to instigate productive discussion on the matter.
There are probably other possible explanations (And I would love to hear them), such as simply not wanting to wait 2 or 3 extra seconds every round). Anyway, I will keep thinking of ideas, and I hope other’s will also contribute (you could also argue that a long buy time gives an additional advantage to the team with more money to spend – that is, the winning team).
Ex, you know I don’t engage in personal attacks, and please don’t take my response to be that. We both want whats best for WCU and the server, but we can have legitimate differences about policy and what have you, and still do that. ![]()
