Very fun game, in my opinion one of the best games that has ever existed. During my long playtime I learned a lot about the community. With the probably addition of competitive matchmaking valve will "revive" this game since a lot of players say it is dying. All I hope is that Valve will add this new feature and this game will have even more players like CS:GO and DOTA 2. Cosmetics are also a part of the game that keep the community alive! People say traders are stupid and don't even play the game and traders say that people who play the game only for gameplay are stupid and poor. That's not true at all. The F2P players aren't always noobs... There are some F2Ps with expensive backpacks and there are some F2Ps with crazy skills. It's not the gibus or the team captain, it's the skills, no matter what type of skills - trading or playing. It is a fair and balanced game and people can easily get started playing it. There aren't any complex mechanics or anything, just hop on and have fun. Lots of weapons to choose from, lots of gamemodes, lots of fun. The perfect trio. I started playing this game and the first 1000 hours I only played without trading. I got premium at 500 hours and started trading after 1000. I started playing the game without trading just months ago. My backpack is worth a bit and I do not need more than this. As a conclusion, I am both a trader and a player and I suggest you play this game for both of those things! The only bad thing I can say is that the trading community is going to hell.
