The CS:GO community is full of immature, edgy teenagers and college kids who still think homophobic and racist slurs are the epitome of wit. Unless you find a server with a well-adjusted group of admin, be ready to be critiqued regularly, insulted for every kill, and harassed if you even think about just playing to have fun instead of to win. Don't use the weapon of someone else's choice? Then you're a moron. If you're as lucky as I've been, and find comrades who just want to play without trash talk and accusations of cheating at the slightest hint of success, you can actually eke out some enjoyment from the game. Most public servers are pure-grade garbage though. Sadly, trying to complete one of the new missions they've implemented means sometimes having to tolerate listening to non-stop tantrums by some twelve year old whose voice hasn't even cracked yet.

And every time you decide you've had enough, Valve releases another patch with new gun skins because that's what draws people back in, and you realize that you can actually make money by just playing the game and selling the ♥♥♥♥ you receive for free just for playing. Oh look, a new skin case just came out. Prices for it are going to be high at first, better play some CS:GO, get some case drops and sell them so I can buy a game that doesn't make me want to shoot myself when I listen to the other people playing it.

amended 07/29/14: Guess what? Sending me offensive comments and hate mail only serves to prove my point as to the maturity level of your average CS:GO player, it doesn't hurt my feelings, but it does get you reported. By all means, keep it up!
