Item drops farther apart? - Games

Is it just me, or are items dropping farther apart in time than before? I've been finding one every couple of hours, rather then like 30 mins. apart. Not really that important, but is it just me?

i noticed that i am getting less drops than usual

The drop system works by giving you a drop, and every drop after that it extends the time between drops till you hit your drop limit.

I have only been playing about two hours a week lately, yet I only get one or two drops during that time.

I always get drops at hourly intervals.

I never get drops. :sad downs:

Haven't noticed much of a difference personally, I still get shitloads of drops overnight when I idle so. [url=www.tf2items.com/id/abc123xyz]I mean just look at this shit.[/url]

[QUOTE=Uber_Tofu;24631544]Cool, now why don't you actually [b]play[/b] the game now.[/QUOTE] Because I don't want to.

[QUOTE=Legend286;24631734]Because I don't want to.[/QUOTE] Then why continue to idle if you're not going to play the game you paid for.

[QUOTE=Uber_Tofu;24631811]Then why continue to idle if you're not going to play the game you paid for.[/QUOTE] I play TF2 regularly, I just idle over night because I can.

I've only got one drop since last thrusday

Before, in 3 hours of constant play i'd get around 4 or 5 drops. This week and last week, I only got one. :smith:

I don't really care too much about drops. It's usually duplicates when I want an item I crafted back.

I used to get items almost everytime when I played TF2, and now I'm lucky if I get at least one a day. So yes, I have noticed a bit of difference.

It includes the steam cloud fart, when all the items found in the past week or two moved "to be found". That is why you have scrap yet to be found. Historical data

I have played pretty steadily ever since hats came out. I do not have a non-event hat. Now I'm in the minority that doesnt have one D:

This week I didn't idle and I played the game and I got only 8 items.I played the offline mode to get more items but I didn't find anything.

I hit my last week cap on last tuesday and it didn't reset for me last thursday..

I'm getting more drops than usual. I haven't seemed to have hit my drop limit at all for the last 2 weeks or so. Not complaining.

I don't really actively keep a fucking detailed log of my drops like a crazed maniac but i like getting them and melting them into hats eventually.

I've been keeping my drops lately. Hoping for some combinations for Polycount.

I was playing around with a friend the other day on a LAN server, and he found a hat. :frown:

Found 10 items last week, including the Offline Practice extras. All in the space of 2 and a half days, Friday 'til Sunday.
