It takes about 4 weeks or more to make a profits from operation cases now, unlike year ago where I could get a profit with first week of operation case drop.

Do you think it's still worth it? because I didn't play CSGO at all, only idling.

it does, I joined the breakout operation quite lately, still made like a 10 times profit from it (bought it when it was like 2 euro 50)

Its just like drops, I've read its 2 missions a week, so you just have to wait for the timer to reset.

I made a third of my money back in 15 minutes last night. I think it will be fine.

I would say:
80% some profit
20% enough to pay the pass

If you only "play" on idle-server, no, as most of the drops come from missions

I thought missions are just for badge upgrading? if it's drops then I had lost lot of drop in the past.

It's new feature that was added in last operation - when you won mission, you received weapon drop. Looks like now you also can get case drop. Or only case drop?

The profit is in buying any limited time items (passes and capsules mostly) and waiting a lot (1 year or more), then you sell them for x10 to x20 what you paid for. I am still holding +200 cases and +350 esl capsules, could sell for x2.5 or x3 profit but I rather wait, my wallet has the max allowed right now anyway.

I see, as DotA2 and Bravo case are rather expensive now. I might try it with Phoenix Case.

OLD operations were profitable. You pay around €5 in first day, get operation case drop which you sell for €3-4 (or even more), second week you again get case for around €2, third week and onwards you sell each case for profit.

But this operation doesn't look like you'll make any profit without some awesome luck.

Now it will take longer to make money on it missions have limits now and cases have super low price

Holy shit, I was so "omg, omg, new operation, new chance for money grab for case drops".

Then I looked at market, never seen gun-cases lose that much value - usually they were over at least an euro for few weeks. Not sure how many drops from missions, but having to sell around 10 to get Operation cost back, doesn't sound like a good place to make profit...

everyone that buy it will eventually get profit, the cases are very cheap but thats because everyone wants fast profit "GIMME MA MONEY >:P" i'm pretty sure that the cases will raise price on december because of those huge "christmas opennings" IT WONT RAISE THAT MUCH because there are more seller then buyers but it will definitly raise

Wouldn't be so sure. It will rise, but that's probably somewhere around Xmas 2015, when cases will not drop anymore. And by that time there might be soooo many cases around, they'll become worthless Sticker Capsules...

10$ for the all thing. Right now you sell cases for 1$. I'm not sure if you get random drops of these cases, but by doing missions you get new cases.
I'm not sure if you can make a profit out of it, but you should definitely be able to get your 10$ back.

You do get random drops of vanguard cases, I got one in a casual match, but they're not assured (you could as well get a breakout case instead)

BTW, if I buy the other two campaigns is it normal to get a mission every 2 days?
I heard some people say they are able to do missions, 1 per day

When next drops starts, cases value will probably drop another 50% or more.

I think unless you get some nice weapon drop you'll probably end with simply regaining what you paid for operation.

It does, i got operation + 2 packs of missions, already sold 6 or 7 cases and earn almost half money back. There is ~30 more cases in missions + random weapons + cases from competitive play till 10 feb so it's worth for me.

Cases price has already dropped to 0,35€, this is definitely not worth it, too many cases drops in this mission (I've dropped 7 within 3 days), the only thing Valve wants is selling keys. They should just remove cases.

I'm pretty sure it's not very profitable/at the very least it's a gamble at this point. My biggest grief with it is the cooldown period. First I get teased by the extra campaigns upon buying them, as they gave me like 2-3 more missions to do that day, and then you only get like one mission every two days. I mean, I'm not even sure if it's possible to do them all until the February time limit hits, and I was more in for the missions than the drops or cases, as I bought all this from card money and CSGO drops anyway. Not good for profit unless you're lucky with it, and definitely not good for bringing some life into the game. I'll just go back being a silver forever noob on the classic maps, these new ones aren't that good anyway.
