Doesn't that defeat the purpose of gift wrap in the trading community?

Ugh, I know, right?
I was looking at buying an untradable item from someone, too bad I didnt do it sooner. At the moment there isnt any real way to trade untradables anymore, right? They made the main untradable items that are traded most often( The Bounty Hat, Treasure Hat, and Hat of Undeniable Wealth and Respect ) tradable, so that would probably work for most people.
[QUOTE=BrandoJack;49840781]Doesn't that defeat the purpose of gift wrap in the trading community?[/QUOTE]
It defeats the purpose of the Gift Wrap in general. Why buy Gift Wrap when the only items you can use it on can be sent through the trading system with less effort?
So they let you turn civilian grade weapons strange now meanwhile none of the awesome skins like Gentlemanne's Wrench or High Roller Rocket Launcher are civilian.
So what did this accomplish exactly?

you giving more money to valve
Can we email them to make the [url=https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Tux]Tux[/url] tradable? It was supposed to be tradable but never was made such, and TF2 Linux was too buggy for me to get launched so I couldn't get it. :frown:
Also, they need to make summer shades tradable.

Does this really mean damage markers for buildings? Are there separate sounds for hitting a building vs. a person?

It's still a step in the right direction

They're obtainable. You just have to trade up from strange civilian to the next tier... which takes 10 stranges. So it's going to take 10 civilian weapons and a mixture of 50 stranges and/or freelance+ weapons to make *one* strange freelance grade weapon. Totals out to 6000 items total to make one strange Commando weapon.
wow how could I miss that group
[QUOTE=BrandoJack;49840781]Doesn't that defeat the purpose of gift wrap in the trading community?[/QUOTE]
Its literal name is gift wrap, I don't think it was ever intended to be for trading anyways

Hey, could somebody check my dodgy math when it comes to this? I'm coming up with $900+ for getting the commando weapon you want. So, for a boneyard wrench that would be $900+ for a 1/3 chance.
You know, I don't care for matchmaking hype or the whole gift wrap ruined or extra stranges thing.
I care about my unusual Cotton Head now being worth *a fuckton more*.
Really wish they'd give up on Mannpower.
well they made something that shouldn't be all class, all class and they didn't even update the one item that should've been all class. Oh well maybe the next update.
I can now have a stat trak ciggy RL now?
Sign me up, chief!
So, the Exorcizor is now equipable by Medic, Soldier and Pyro (for maximum edge.) Anything else?
[QUOTE=DrLambda;49842145]So, the Exorcizor is now equipable by Medic, Soldier and Pyro (for maximum edge.) Anything else?[/QUOTE]
The Cotton head is now All-class and has two styles
[QUOTE=GuntMyFries;49842234]The Cotton head is now All-class and has two styles[/QUOTE]
the mutton mann is also multi-class (all except pyro+spy)
Is everybody absolutely positive that there are only stat trackers for the civilian grade? Cause I am seeing a Freelance grade strange coffin nail rocket launcher up on market right now.

It might be up to civilan grade.
It definitely doesn't work above it. Unfortunately.

you can trade up strange civilian-grade weapons for a strange freelance-grade weapon
