To all of the new-gen traders coming in, if you follow me which I HIGHLY doubt as I left the com last year
the friends you pick now will define you on the outcome.
most groups are already established and have been since 2020.
So it is genuinely hard to find good people
@v0eak@Kfuecs I think the names of this scene from 2020 as in my eyes arcana trading was the peak, close to it was CS2 release,
you bought a skin and no matter what in a week it was gone for 40-50% profit on the low
OG people either moved onto crypto or other tangible derivatives to CS
@birbcs@Kfuecs Myself I have watched the scene from the sidelines since ~2019;
this is just what happens when something gets a spotlight in the mainstream, it becomes "averaged", no longer a niche thing
Bummer to have witnessed so many names come and go
@der_bummie I think the state of groups originated for me in ohnepixel's secret discord which has been closed off since 2021
people don't connect anymore, they work alone, and this will be the fall of the community as everyone is 1v9
bring back that brazilian's 5v5 scrim discord xDDD
@birbcs With the changed social media algorythm, where it was much easier before to connect and exchange,
the overall price situation also made it harder to get into crafting and sharing if u are "new" into the game.
Social media and overall inet perspective also changes slowly i feel
@Kfuecs thing is this too, I am so fucking out of touch with this new community
I throw full shade at people like rat as it is just pure rot and sub-human, it was so different back then.
me and a good part of my friend group faded into obscurity, I still have outreach if needed tho
and the only way you will succeed now is a good group of people behind you to build something with and cover ground
its changed, everything has
kato's are expensive now
there is 0 incentive, 0 operations, 0 anti-cheat.
but holy fuck over the past years we have had fun.
To build opportunity now you need to look else where
and find a group of people open to re-entering a loop of wealth, this is mostly for traders, not people who buy just to play with.
Valve is fucking killing this game
