Well damnit, you're all gonna lose that."Over the next few days we'll be removing all TF2 items that were earned using external idling applications. We're going to adopt a zero tolerance policy for external applications used to manipulate the persistent item system. Due to us not having a policy in place prior to today, this time we're only removing the items earned through cheating the system. Going forward, if we find users using external applications, we'll remove all of their items. If you're interested, only about 4.5% of the players in TF2's community will be affected by this cleansing process." So goddamnit everyone, stop using those idle systems, or else I might actually dominate some of you. AND I AM NOOBISH, THIS WILL BE PAINFUL. Also, as a "thanks", anyone who didn't use it, gets a free hat. Nice halo.Shame that it looks so crappy that it makes Charlie Brown's ghost costume look like a technicolour waistcoat.

Wait, so there was an external program that, what? Moved you around every two seconds so you don't get AFK-kicked? Also, I haven't played in about a month. Does this mean I get a halo? What about those that didn't use external idling programs but just went on idle servers? silverwasp wrote:Be careful what you wish for... I have 10 younger siblings and I am only 20....

Well think of it this way.. the only useful purpose a hat serves in real life is to keep the sun out of your eyes, but any right-thinking person would just use sunglasses as they are way better at this. So people really just buy hats for vanity. Same reason you get them in TF2. But how much do hats cost? 10-20 bucks for a baseball cap? Even more for fancy hats? Compared to this, the cost of running your PC all night is a pittance. Now you may say "But Lead, people wear hats in public way more than they play TF2." I offer three counterarguments: 1. You're still paying a lot less. (In Seattle it's like 8 cents per kWh although we have a lot of cheap hydroelectric power) 2. If you've got any self respect you wouldn't wear that hat every day all day. Some people do and thats GRODY. 3. Some of these people probably spend more time playing TF2 than being out in public. I'm looking at you, Drakhen..

ok. so yesterday i was telling drakhen, "I think this week im finally going to get a hat". So then, i idle last night because i would get a good 15hours in. I wake up to get dressed, and behold, I get my FIRST FUCKING HAT. Of course, it was the hatless hat for the engineer, but at least it was something you know.
So, i go out fishing and i was pumped to play some tf2 and show off my Texas Slims Dome Shine, and right when i log in i am listening to laughter. Drakhen, with a smile on his face, tells me that all the idlers shit was deleted, so i go in my inventory, and my shit was deleted. FUCK MY FIRST FUCKIN HAT AND I ONLY HAD IT FOR 5 HOURS!!!.
So i have come to realize, it is better to have had a hat, then to not of had one at all. And of course, the non idlers get a fucking hat.
Im never getting a fucking hat, but the noobs who play about 5 hours a week get hats all the time, for as me who plays 4 hours a day, will be and stay hatless.
FUck you valve, FUCK>>>YOU.
I still say, they should put in a money system so you can purchase any items you want from the Mann Co. system. in all the new unlocks, they have prices, they should put those to use. stupid .45% chance to get a hat every 100minutes, doesnt make sense dammit.
