Should I quit Counter-Strike 2 and competitive games in general?

It's okay. I'm used to people bullying me. All my life.
I'm not sure of my actual birthday.
It is sometime between 1682899200 and 16854912001 unix time.

There there. A digital bully is still a real bully. Just like a real boy!

Is it really better for me to quit playing Counter-Strike 2 because my greed is strong and I could technically get the Premier Season 2 medal fully leveled up (125 wins) but it's also time consuming and when the Season 2 ends end of June there will be Season 3 and my greed will force me to get another 125 wins arghh...

Maybe it's better to just quit this medal farming and just play Everquest exclusively. It doesn't force you to play. Always hated those battle passes and time limited events. They ruin your real life! Anyone here who actually plays CS2 and knows what I'm talking about with the Premier Season 2 Medal?

I'd like to get 125 wins but I don't want to put in the effort. I only have 12 wins right now. Winrate is 50%. I'm at 18.000 CSR rating. What do you think is it better to quit CS2 so I have more time for real life working out and playing Everquest? Or stick with it and get the 125 wins? I really don't know how to decide.

Here's how that Premier Season 2 Medal looks in Counter-Strike 2. The color shows your skill how high your CSR rating is. For example I have 18.000 CSR rating that would be purple. Additionally you get one colored bar for 25 wins each with a maximum of 5 bars that is 125 wins.

I wanted to get 125 wins but it's so time consuming and not even fun. I only have 12 wins. Either I get the full 5 bar medal or nothing at all. I could play more fun games like Everquest P99 or Left 4 Dead 2 that do not force me to play on time.

And when Premier Season 2 ends obviously there will be Season 3 and I will want to get another 125 wins. I guess it is better to quit now instead of becoming addicted to a game I don't like playing just to get a medal on my profile ingame...

I do like grinding for stuff like max ranks, level-ups and increasing inventory wealth and I'm sure you do too otherwise you wouldn't be playing Everquest. But 125 wins means I should get 2 wins everyday from now with a 50% winrate that's 4 games each day and one game lasts 15 to 20 minutes.

It's just intense and you have to concentrate to win. It's just not fun. In Everquest and Left 4 Dead 2 you can just relax and have fun because it's not that competitive at all. Maybe I'm getting too old for these highly competitive games like CS2 and Dota 2. It's more stressful and frustrating than it is fun.

I'm an excellent driver.

Man yesterday I played Left 4 Dead 2 after 3 years of not playing any L4D and I first experienced it with my new 144 Hz monitor and better PC. I played it for 5 hours until 2 am with voice chat and two other people in Steam Voice Group Chat.

It is honestly so much more fun than 5v5 in Counter-Strike 2 where everyone wants to win. Co-op is just easier and not frustrating at all. I really have the most fun in the Left 4 Dead Series. It is my favorite Valve franchise. I am not gonna get any Premier medal in CS2 it is not worth it. Shooting the guns in Left 4 Dead 2 is more fun. And you don't feel bad when you lose.

Expert Realism is just so much fun it never gets boring. Really hoping when we get Half-Life 3 soon that they'll do Left 4 Dead 3 also.

CS2 is frustrating and you have to concentrate hard. I don't like CS2 anymore. I rather play Left 4 Dead 2 and Everquest P99. That new game Restitched is coming to Steam soon as well. Pretty cool game because I loved playing LittleBIGPlanet on my friend's PS.
