[QUOTE=Sottalytober;30682825]I think you forgot the important part...more hackers.[/QUOTE] And? Look at the FAQ. [quote][b]Q. Won’t going Free to Play mean more griefers and cheaters?[/b] We’re increasing our focus on making sure that hostile players can’t ruin your fun. Specifically, we’ll be keeping a close eye on players exploiting the ability to make infinite free accounts to bypass bans. We’ve built systems that’ll allow us to measure and track what these players are doing, and respond quickly.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Louis;30682849]Uh Guess what you should do when a hacker joins. Okay stay with me here Okay so you find a new server and play it[/QUOTE] You shouldn't have to find a different server just because one person decides to be a douchebag.
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;30682806]Do you people need like...red panties to cover to fucking menstrual blood you're all spewing out because of the F2P?

[QUOTE=Raptor_S;30682852]I played with few F2P players today. I built a sentry, and told the demoman from the other team (he died 3 times in a row, attacking sentry with normal grenades) to use stickies against buildings. He destroyed my sentry, and smashed my shull with the Ol' Scrumpy bottle. He said "Thanks for the tip!" and left the server. Feels good man :buddy:[/QUOTE] Become a coach like me and help them improve.

A fair amount of players will be nice, considerate people, and will eventually buy tf2 properly.
Free-to-play is great There is nothing better for your self-esteem than to have 40 kills and 8 deaths as medic
[QUOTE=MrParalegal;30682864]You shouldn't have to find a different server just because one person decides to be a douchebag.[/QUOTE] If you feel that way then you gotta put up with them then. Not my loss

[QUOTE=Louis;30682881]If you feel that way then you gotta put up with them then. Not my loss[/QUOTE] And I do, I wasn't bitching about hackers now was I?
[QUOTE=MrParalegal;30682895]And I do, I wasn't bitching about hackers now was I?[/QUOTE] Didnt say you were mister.
You guys do know that you can kick hackers by vote-kicking them...
[QUOTE=killz2much;30682856]And? Look at the FAQ.[/QUOTE] Right, there's this thing valve have done QUITE A BIT in the past (such as when they said "we'll give you all the content in the game with no microtransactions" or when they said "no items that change the game will be exclusive to the drop system" or when they said "hats will never have stats") called [I]lying[/I].
[QUOTE=themooselord;30682912]You guys do know that you can kick hackers by vote-kicking them...[/QUOTE] Having more hackers isnt the [I]actual[/I] point they're trying to make, they're just making up any argument they can to justify why they hate free players.

[QUOTE=Louis;30682849]Uh Guess what you should do when a hacker joins. Okay stay with me here Okay so you find a new server and play it[/QUOTE] No, that's fucking stupid. In my 4 years of TF2 I have seen 1 hacker. I'm currently locked out of my normal tf2 account, so I made a new one and started TF2 on a free account and wow. Three of the four servers I connected to had hackers. Big change. [QUOTE=Louis;30682935]Having more hackers isnt the [I]actual[/I] point they're trying to make, they're just making up any argument they can to justify why they hate free players.[/QUOTE] No, I don't give a shit about free players. More cannon fodder and people I can help/teach. I care about speedhacking heavies and snipers who headshot as soon as your hand is visible.

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;30682961]Who would lie about game balance?[/QUOTE] To be fair, with the amount of weapons in the game it's pretty difficult to maintain a perfect balance. At least it's not a case of one weapons beats all. There's nothing that's incredibly over powered.
Oh god, no.
Check spuf they finally released that "f2p players get insta-banned plug-in" [IMG]http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/2/THISGONBGUD.gif[/IMG] [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1947269[/url]
[QUOTE=Louis;30682972]You meeting hackers =/= everyone hacking[/QUOTE] 3 24 players servers. That is 61 other people who had to play with hackers. It's not just me. Look at steam forums, people are whining about hackers there to.
I'm mostly concerned about them raising the crafting requirements to the absurd levels that they did for this update in order to encourage use of the store.
[QUOTE=Mtcicero;30683024]I'm mostly concerned about them raising the crafting requirements to the absurd levels that they did for this update in order to encourage use of the store.[/QUOTE] I think that's temporary to be honest.
[QUOTE=Mtcicero;30683024]I'm mostly concerned about them raising the crafting requirements to the absurd levels that they did for this update in order to encourage use of the store.[/QUOTE] Damn, beat me to it. F2P players are representative of valve's increasing shift towards the store. Don't be surprised if the next set of weapons cost more than a refined.
Good lord, people are really crying their eyes out over this huh. Hackers and morons like that suck yes, but don't be such babies and assume every free player's gonna be some little kid with a crap attitude. Quite a few could just be friendly people who didn't feel like buying TF2 before, so they see it's free and decide to give it a try, but could be turned off now by how many people are pissing their panties at "OMGNOOBKIDDIEF2P'RBAAAW" Hackers and crap will get dealt with, spastic kiddies who can't comprehend simple things will get mad and quit, but we'll also get players that like the game and stick with it.
[QUOTE=themooselord;30682476]you bought tf2 3-4 years ago. Should valve also take away 500+ hours of fun?[/QUOTE] yes

I for one love the new F2P players, my server has never been so full.
