-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm sure the theory is that the price will keep rising until other weapons are used more. I for one would be glad to see more use of the other weapons. Not sure if this is the way to do it.
For instance, there are a lot of "NO AWP/AUTOSNIPER" servers out there. I imagine this skews the results and is probably part of the reason the AWP price is projected to fall in the next pricing update. L.
