bet i've deleted all the unlocked stuff i got. tbh i don't play any of the classes with unlocks except sniper and even than i only use the razorback!

why should you be penalised for finding a way round their shitty system in the first place?

but ho hum i never really got much out of it in the first place

You've just answered your own question! If you exploit the system in a manner which isn't intended - what can you expect?

Just to clarify - I'm not taking an anti-idling stance - I've never used it (one halo please!) but I'm not bashing those who use it themselves, give it a go if you like but it looks like it's not worked out.

its not really exploiting though is it? you could get the same effect from just sitting in an empty server for the same time. its just a way of saving you the hassle of doing that.

personally i think that if you introduce a system based of randomly giving out new toys to players and making it so random that you never get anything worthwhile (what would i ever do with more than 1 backburner?)then you shouldn't give any of your users shit for trying to get something good out of it. "moral high ground"? hardly, its not stealing and its certainly not cheating so why would they get so fussy about it.

it all comes down to the hats in the end and i only got one of those anyway, even idling for bloody hours i only got 1. seems to me that they should be giving them to those that want them, no?

lol halo makes my soldier look like a big fairy, all he needs now is a tutu!

Tbh I'm a bit disappointed. If they have so much trouble with it, why didn't they just say so a month ago? It wouldn't have stopped everybody, but I'm certain most people. (At least 1, me)

Plus I don't see the problem with the program. The only difference between using it and joining a server with achievement_idle is that the former uses less resources. No hacking, no boosting of chances, no lying of the server about some great stuff you've done!
(reminder for myself: http://v3.game-monitor.com/topmaps.php?game=tf2 8 servers, place 46)

Ouch, look at that profile (and it's history!)

[Officer Dibble]

Well, i lost 3 items apparently, although i can only find the cloak and dagger missing and i dont really spy that much. Never mind.

At least the hats drop more frequently now.

Agreed, if they had asked nicely i would gladly have stopped if it really upset them so much.

[discordance]

i agree lazzars. i won't be wearing it in game much, except on my scout to hightlight how much of a girl he is.

[Lazzars]

how much of a girl he is.

lol, really would look like a fairy then

[discordance]

if only i could get him some angel wings

[Teatime]

At least the halo puts a funny spin on the whole sad affair.
PS: That would be the first hat to be wearable with every class, right?

I'm glad I posted my new article this evening before this happened, otherwise I would have probably trashed it and a couple of hours work would have been for nothing.

[TheBeau]

I like the halos. I did not idle.

They all look cool in my opinion and you will see me wearing them for all the classes that I haven't got hats for.

EDIT: Yes Tea, it's wearable with every class.
