last night I got my first random drop, and I have one day of playing time..
it was an engineers light or something, I gave it to my friend for some polycount weapons.
I played TF2 since October of 2007 and I only got one hat through a drop last week and it was Dr. Dapper's Topper.
When my friend got TF2 2 months ago he found 2 hats through drops in only a few days.
I don't get Valve's system. It seems like the longer you played, the less likely you are to get hat drops.
Seriously, look at his back pack. [url]http://tf2b.com/?id=darkheroes[/url]
Been playing since March on the PC (Long long time ago on the 360), and have only gotten one hat drop.
I only got my first hat (a vintage camera beard) today via a trade for some paint. I have been playing since 2008.
I got a batters helmet as my first drop about a week after I started playing, I got nothing until the polycount update where I got both a mullet and a medic mask in one day.
I've been playing since '08 (though that doesn't really matter). First hat ever was the halo. I crafted the Tough Guy's Toque, then got the Mining Light through the drop system. Since then, I've traded for a bunch of hats, gotten all the giveaway hats, and found one more hat: the Soldier's Stash.
after 200 hours of playing i got Handyman's handle
The recession affects TF2
Two hat drops
2010, before Engineer Update - Safe'n'Sound
2010, after Mannconomy Update - Killer's Kabuto
Who cares? Hats have only been around for a year and a half.
No Drops and no Craft Hats, only Promo Hats. Makes me feel like such a sell-out.
T'was like that for me for a long time. Then I started finding them from time to time, have found 3x Modest Pile of Hat, hatless engie and hatless scout so far.
i found 1 hat through a drop, on the day the steam servers went crazy with drops.
i now have around 4~5 hats, thanks to trading.
There are far more ways to receive hats than through drops. Also, i've had 3, but deleted 2 because of 'hurr i quit tf2' phase.
I am POOR and IRISH
(with the exception of event hats)
hah irish
Relevant to the topic, I also just found a Hound Dog :smug:
3 dropped. I found a safe'n'sound a long time ago, and then after the Mann Co. I found two in a row. Still can't explain that.
Played since October 2007. Only ever found hats through idling, which were all taken away.
All my hats, except for Medic Mirror, were crafted/traded/event.
[QUOTE=Inacio;25443564]I had a dream today
I got a drop of a hat
I woke up all like yay
And then I realized I had a dream about TF2 hats
I'm still sad
What really sucks is that I'm not kidding[/QUOTE]
They are slowly taking over the world

Try idling
1 hat via drop.
1 hat via craft
1 hat via class-craft.
2 hat via crate (2 nappers, one i gave to my friend)
Maybe I should do a raffle for all my hats, Poor and Irish or only one hat exclusive.
I only had two hat drops: Toque and Ushanka.
If you've really been playing three years, I would think you'd care about things other then hats.
You know, game-play or player interactions? You must get SOMETHING out of playing this game
If you've been playing so long without a single hat drop. Try enjoying the game for what matters
instead of moping around for hats.
You'll enjoy the game much more if you do.
