Notice how the movement quickly goes from 3 Yes 8 No, to 8 Yes 8 No. Predict it gets way more Yes soon as people spam it to their clans that play in-game with them.

"Binds or not, people always have the opportunity to get an AWP" No they don't... Which servers are you playing on? Lol. But yeah, unrestricted awps would be ideal. Although I think ruplayer's idea is also better than the status quo.
Personally, I don't have the patience to wait for someone else to die in order for me to get their awp. That's just tedious. Many times on pop maps, I don't get a chance to awp at all, because in combination, other people buy them faster than I can (I'm not going to make a bind just for buying the awp ). I awp, I voted "Yes", lol.

Why not just raise the restriction to like 5?

I am playing from Germany, my connection is slow enough that if someone binds to buy an AWP I would never get it. Somehow, I miraculously always have it. No issues, getting it on POP maps or 24/7 Office. You don't get a chance to AWP because you don't have patience. You choose not to take the opportunities that are available to you. This doesn't mean stalk the AWPer. It is quite easy to get a hold of an AWP if u really want it.

You may AWP, but you are not a regular AWPer on Pop Maps. The few times we have played (Usually low player counts) I haven't seen u ever AWP. You have 632 kills with an AWP on that server and ~2200 kills with m4/AK. You are not an awper there. This change would not effect your style of game play at all. I have 18,982 AWP kills and ~ 13K with M4/AK. Hence a AWPer.

I do not like to play on Snipers/Deathmatch which are the only two unrestricted AWP servers.

This rule has basis for fairness or balancing. Motivations are to probably make it easier for people to rush and get more kills.

Lol. the reason why I'm "not an awper" is because I barely got a chance to use the awp on pop maps. For a long time the awp was the weapon I predominantly used if I had a choice (If I had a choice, I would have used an awp 80% of the time). Not to brag, but I was number 1 on the sniper server for months (a combination of being able to awp, and awping a lot). You've practically proven my point. And it shouldn't be a matter of extreme patience to get the awp, that's just over the top.

cuz then all the game is about is walking around a corner then getting one shot killed. retarded

Haha, that's what the game is: getting shot by awps and every other weapon. It's also retarded too (jks :p).

well getting ONE shot kills by every other weapon is very rare

They're not awps Awps have big weaknesses too though (and one shot kills are not at all rare with the deag or ak [at least not for me, lol]).
