But why should we deprive of them such a weapon? Yes, a good awper can decimate a team, but a good awper is very vulnerable when they're awping. The problem in pub servers, and what newer players have to learn is to charge the awper immediately after they have taken their shot. 

The flaw in making this occur, is say that the losing team wins one just barely with the AWP. The next round, it gets taken away and they get rolled on hard. No one's going to have money for the AWP again, and they're screwed.

It's just that I can't see a reason on why we should continue the restrictions of how a person plays simply to cater to newer players, when the servers are obviously very popular and this is not a large problem.
