Factory New doesn't look 'New'

[NachoNinjaGnome44]

Hello all... I recently purchased a Factory New StatTrak Blood Tiger M4A1-S. I got in-game and began using and noticed... the skin is all dinged up. The 'Factory New' version of this skin does NOT look 'new'. If it doesn't look 'new', then why am I paying extra for it? Might as well have an 'older' looking skin for a lower cost. Can we, perhaps, get that fixed. That seems like an oversight on the part of the dev team.

I'm 'complaining' because there is cause to complain. I could have saved myself a few bucks and got the Minimal Wear that looks EXACTLY the same as the "Factory New". Every other Factory New skin I have looks NEW... as in clean and unblemished. It just seems like whoever was responsible for that weapon skin's various grades uploaded or referenced the wrong texture file or some sort of similar oversight.

P.S. And maybe if you didn't have SO many stickers, you could buy a prettier weapon. Seriously, you even plastered your Stock skins with stickers. Never understood the appeal myself. I will, happily, pay more for a weapon skin WITHOUT stickers, and have done so several times in the past.
P.P.S. You have gloves... I don't have any gloves. And you could sell those gloves and buy every skin that I, currently, have. So why are you complaining about my complaint?

For every skin there is a Float value if it is the low end of Factory New then it looks more like Minimal wear

Some skins, even if they have a float value of close to 0, have scratches by default. Nothing you can do about it, it's mostly older skins or collection skins that have this, it's also not an oversight, it's deliberate.

By "Factory New", Valve doesn't refer to a skin's looks, but that it's float value is lower than 7%.

you should always try and inspect a skin ingame, not in the game inv menu preview.

anyhow the blood tiger is an old skin and it's been bugged forever. maybe CS2 devs will treat it better.

as for valve fixing, or caring whatsoever about old bugs, just use the Couching View bug, which was on for years, as a template for referencing how the dev treats "old bugs" in cs.

Sadly there's nothing you can do about this. You can probably try to find one with a better FV sure, but some skins simply don't look completely flawless. There are also skins that look flawless at all conditions just slightly less colorful.

It's not Valve who decides that though, it's the creator who made them and they're part of the community.
