Hello members of the CSGO thread, my name is OfficerKenny or JoeysWorldTourLIFE (however you may know me as)
Today, I am officially going to not play CSGO full time anymore. Now before you reply to me and say 'KYS you aren't a pro, don't use terms like full time", I mean that i wont be playing CSGO as much as i used to. I have very different reasons for not playing as much and here they are:
1. the Ranking System
Now before you go ape stuff on me, let me just say i got this account as a test account just for this reason.
I recently got an alt account (no its not a smurf account and i'll tell you why in a sec) because I wanted to see what my rank would be if I decided to restart again. So, I did just that was going to be ranked into the Gold Nove area (GN 1- GNM). I know this because out of the 6 games I played, only 1 was in silver. To me, this shows how forgeted up the ranking system is and how it needs to be fixed ASAP. I guess now my main is now a smurf account?? I'm not really sure what to call my account to be honest at this point. here it is:

2. The Skins system
I will admit it, I had/have an addiction to CSGO skins. Every aspect of them is appealing to me, IDK why. It all started when I really wanted a knife, and i bought myself a gut knife Case Hardened. After this, it escalated from there, and with the release of drakemoon, it didn't help very much. I ended up spending way too much of my savings on this game and I regret every dollar i spent. I wish I could just go back and stop myself. Now, every time I find myself wanting to buy skins/ gamble, I go play disc golf/ frisbee golf or I go to the gym. I honestly just spent way too much money on this game period.
3. The Community
I really don't have much to say about this community other than it is extremely salty and whenever there is a grill in a casual lobby, the salt levels go off the charts and it's unplayable. I don't like to get salty, I am a nice person who likes to have fun and it feels almost like a salt disease that is starting to overcome me and I am turning into one of these salty players. I mean for forgets sake, this guy used to cast on TV and used to play CSGO professionally and look how salty he is towards everyone:
https://www.youtube.com/user/moetv1337 . Lastly, the scammers on this game are unreal. This guy tried to scam me 20 times for forgets sake and even after I got his IP, he didn't stop (Valve didn't do stuff BTW). Even to this day, I haven't posted on CSGOLounge for weeks, people are still trying to pull this crap.
so I end with this:

Lastly, I am not trying to make people stop playing the game. If you like the game, keep playing. I just thought I would say this because you won't see as many giveaways as I used to do and I won't be as active on here.
Thanks guys!! (NO this isn't a joke/copypasta)
