yeah but its adding significantly to valves server traffic to steam friends, the item distribution servers, the stat servers etc. It also devalues the items for anyone who doesn't use the idle program because the accepted way to get hats is idling and some people have a lot theyre nothing special anymore, reducing them from something special to a minor decoration.

Just increase the bloody hat drop rate and implement trading, problem solved. If hat drops weren't so insanely rare, nobody would bother.

Exactly.. this shows how flawed the drop system really is tbh... when they have to "fix" it

making the hats more common is an acceptable solution, as it stands theyre being made common by using valves bandwidth which is clearly stupid, but i'd still like to see them find a way to fix it properly and keep them rare. They're supposed to be nice little prizes for dedicated players.

The third link looks a bit more convincing. Won't be idling for now, anyway.
