[BOTs rant/Suggestion] Valve should disable XP and Case drops for casual modes

:discussion: Discussion

Listen, I know Valve doesn't wanna do shit about casual aspect of CS2, but the Botting problem is becoming ridiculous, to the point of being a repetition of what happened to TF2.

There is simply not a single lobby that I've been to that doesn't contain at least 3-4 bots, doesn't matter if it's Casual, DM or Arms Race (Retakes is the only one bot-free, but I think it's only a matter of time).

While I know that this is a half-measure and doesn't address the root cause, but do you think disabling case drops for Casual modes will reduce botting problem? Alternatively: give XP (Case drops consequently) only for completing challenges, kinda like weekly missions but make them dailys or whatever.

I don't think Bots will hop on to premier or competetive at the same scale, since it is not a cost-effective at all to farm cases in these modes (they take a lot of time compared to DM).
