Not sure if it's been posted here before, but this comparison sums up my opinion pretty well: [quote]How do you feel when movies are shown on free-to-air TV, 3-4 years after you bought a cinema ticket?[/quote]
[QUOTE=HyperTails;30680677]That's not me whining, that's me stating points. How is the first one relevant.[/QUOTE] The first one is you bitching about the servers, obviously referring to the F2P players.
Seems like everyone is bitch about this, older players about new, new about the community, traders about the markets going to shit itself, etc, etc.
[QUOTE=Egonny;30680683]Not sure if it's been posted here before, but this comparison sums up my opinion pretty well:[/QUOTE] There's a difference. People pretty much just bought the game last week or last month. Lets just say some people bought it recently. Then the game goes completely free. There's a difference from paying to watch a movie once, then it goes completely free 4 years later for you to watch.
[QUOTE=kwk;30680690]The first one is you bitching about the servers, obviously referring to the F2P players.[/QUOTE] Huh What are you, stupid? That's not referring to players, that's referring to the shitty Vavle servers.

They have been spoonfed with all the updates for free. But when Robin decides what HE can do with his game, everyone bitches against VALVE. It's their game. They can do whatever the fuck they want.
[QUOTE=nask;30680708]Seems like everyone is bitch about this, older players about new, new about the community, traders about the markets going to shit itself, etc, etc.[/QUOTE] Fanbase is unpleaseable.
[QUOTE=IAMCLOWNMASTER;30680718]Huh What are you, stupid? That's not referring to players, that's referring to the shitty vavle servers.[/QUOTE] It's [b]clearly[/b] referring to the players spamming up the servers.

[QUOTE=kwk;30680729]It's [b]clearly[/b] referring to the players spamming up the servers.[/QUOTE] No, It's clearly calling the valve servers shitty [sp]which they are[/sp] Proof is that I joined a server and had 100 ping all the time and got disconnect errors every ten minutes. And there were only like 16 people.

There's a difference from paying to watch a movie once, then it goes completely free 4 years later for you to watch.[/QUOTE] I agree people who bought it last week/month should at least get a part of their money refunded or get something in return. But still, I'm guessing that 99% of the people who complain here have bought the game at least 1 or 2 years ago.
The only problem I'm having is coincidentally, every server I go to, lags REALLLLLYY bad, and sometimes disconnects. Even when my ping is < 40. I dunno if this has anything to do with "Free Frags" or the update.

[QUOTE=kwk;30680690]The first one is you bitching about the servers, obviously referring to the F2P players.[/QUOTE] who's ass did you pull out that invisible statement, there was no direct reference or anything about him complaining or referencing the f2p players, it's more of how crappy the filters and matchmaking the quick thingy implemented
IMO, those who bought the game in the last weeks/month can legitimately complain. Those who have owned it for years now, yet complain, are just simply butthurt.

Well, even though I don't really mind this much, I still want premium-only servers :colbert:
Oh and people, learn not to bother with any sort of "Quick play" button, in any game, ever. Just use the good old server browser.
[QUOTE=Géza!;30680765]IMO, those who bought the game in the last weeks/month can legitimately complain. Those who have owned it for years now, yet complain, are just simply butthurt.[/QUOTE] I did buy it last month. How much am I complaining? Not as much as some others :v:
You guys can stop complaining. You know what Free To Play has done for me? Fucking loads of backstabs. LOADS. Seriously, even the pyro's don't know what the fuck hits them.

It's like this: Oh look at this movie. Back To The Future is AMAZING!. Well spent money right here. 6 year later WOW FUCK YOU UNIVERSAL, I PAYED 20 BUCKS TO WATCH BACK TO THE FUTURE, AND NOW ITS FREE. IM NEVER WATCHING A MOVIE FROM YOU AGAIN. BUT it's been a long time! You can't bitch about something you payed for 6 year backs. This goes with all the OLD OLD people who bought the game after the Beta.

[QUOTE=kwk;30680840]Paying too see a movie ONCE is a huge difference than....[B]AARGGHHH IM SHOOTIN' PEARLS HERE!![/B][/QUOTE] But you payed for TF2 once. How is that a BIG difference?

[QUOTE=Louis;30680730]Why Do You Think Its Okay To Type Like This Honestly It Makes You Look Special and Not In A Good Way. But at least you did the "and"right![/QUOTE] I always did that because I feel it shows consistency in typing etiquette.
[QUOTE=Doneeh;30680890]I always did that because I feel it shows consistency in typing etiquette.[/QUOTE] How? The title is in all caps and descriptions for every other item in TF2 don't work like that. :geno: [editline]24th June 2011[/editline] Also, @whiners: Play nice with the newbies, kiddos, you're annoying those of us who don't really care one way or another.
These self-entitled children who feel that they should be reimbursed because they bought the game 20 years ago are starting to get on my nerves. Get over yourselves, you deserve nothing.
So what happens to those retail TF2 copies that are still unsold? :raise: Surely they can't sell them if TF2 is now free-to-play, right? ah, missed this: [url]http://i55.tinypic.com/2yl7e68.png[/url] still, I'm sure retail copies are on discount due to this making them very hard to sell...
