Why do non-competitive matches give barely any XP?

[BluSteel]

I've noticed that unless you play a Competitive match, you barely get any XP. It's why I'm only Level 7 after over a year of me playing CS:GO.

It's been uninstalled a lot of the time that I've had it, needed some room on my old PC for TF2, GMOD, etc. I also have over 100 matches on Casual/Deathmatch. In a game like TF2, you'd be at about level 30 in 42 hours.

Who even cares about their level in this game? All it does is give you the yearly service medal and now prime... big deal....

Experience Points
After each match is over, the experience points will be allocated. Leaving a match early will not award any experience points. The experience gauge will be shown at the bottom of the scoreboard at round end, with the Current XP appearing as a dark blue bar, the Earned XP and Weekly XP Bonus appearing as a green bar, and Mission XP appearing as a dark yellow bar.

The XP bars are accompanied with small pieces of text beneath them indicating their XP type and calculation method, written on a background of the same color. If the player ranks up, another piece of text saying "Rank Up" and using a purple background will appear after all other pieces of text.

Earned XP
The amount of XP the player earns at the end of a game is determined by player performance during the game, applied through the game mode's multiplier. Excluding competitive matches, this multiplier uses the player's score. The competitive multiplier uses the player's won rounds during a match. Additionally, the multiplier is always rounded down to the nearest decimal. The maximum amount of experience points that a player can earn in casual mode is 1,000.

Game mode
XP multiplier
Arms Race 1.0 * score
Casual 4.0 * score
Competitive 30 * rounds won
Deathmatch 0.2 * score
Demolition 2.5 * score
Weekly XP Bonus
The weekly bonus XP is a pool of 5,000 XP applied as a bonus when a player finishes a round. The first 3,500 XP is awarded as a bonus of 3x the amount of XP the player gains in the round. The rest 1,500 XP is awarded as a 1x bonus. The bonus XP are not awarded further if all 5,000 were awarded during a week.[2]

XP Penalty
If the player earns too much XP during a week, the player will receive a reduced multiplier, drastically cutting the amount of XP received regardless of game mode.

Because most non competitive modes are based on personal performance. In dangerzone, arms race, deathmatch etc. it depends on your personal statistics (kills and if you win or not). While you get xp depending on your team- and personal statistics in casual, wingman and competitive mode. For example I played one dangerzone 2 days ago, made 13 kills, won and got nearly 1k xp. But when you lose with 0 kills you'll only get like 30 xp.

Also the bonus xp for the modes are different depending on how difficult it is (based on time spend + difficulty in general -> a competitive game is harder, has more rules etc. than casual etc.).

Btw. it took me 6 months to reach level 21. Nearly only played when I got double bonus XP (so 1 level each week most of the time). While I've 60 hrs on record I'd say I played 45-50 of them. Rest was reviewing demos, waiting for mates, working on the config etc.

Because competitive matches have overwatch enabled so when a cheater plays in Comp he gets more EXP towards prime but he's more likely to get caught. The opposite happens with clean players, they basically prove it doesn't matter what they play, they won't get caught for not cheating.

But hey, that's just a theory. A *** theory. Thanks for watching.
