For quite a while I didn't get it when people were asking to trade Dirty or Clean items. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/wat146.png[/img] Turns out Dirty means Uncraftable due to being store bought.
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;35560001]The TF2 Economy, I've had it. I fucking come to TF2 to relax and i see the exact. same. kind of backbiting, envious fighting that i see in the real world, in the real economy, The TF2 economy is equivalent to two dogs fighting over a scrap of meat for the rest of time, And what grinds me to the FUCKING BONE is that this is IDENTICAL TO THE REAL-WORLD ECONOMY. "just ignore it all and play the game yo" No. I can't, I can't willingly ignore injustice and wrongdoing, TF2 used to be beautiful, I willingly accepted the idea of trading purely because then equality would be possible. I had a dream, no, an idea, of a free, wonderful game where it was simply "want this cool hat for that cool hat?", where we were not constrained by the arbitrary and unfair concerns of set pricing or any real value of worth. The dream shattered. The spreadsheet. Why is there a [B]fucking spreadsheet for this?[/B] Why is X worth more than Y? Why is Z worth less than Y? Why do some have to go without while others sit atop a mound of riches? Why do people have to suffer because they're not able to accomplish the same others have? Why. [B]Why. Does. The Mannconomy. Exist?[/B] I am mad as hell. Why does this "rustle [my] jimmies"? Because it's just like the real world, And I'd like to just sit down, Swap hats for hats, and just chill the fuck out and play some TF2, and not be reminded of what's out there, but i can't, I cannot ignore theft. Why am i saying this about the TF2 economy and not about real life? Because TF2 is an effigy. And i will beat the effigy until its arms fall off. You can have it any color you like. But it will always be [B]black[/B][/QUOTE] Have you considered writing persuasive poetry, good sir?
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;35560001] ''EL DOCTOR SALVADOR'' ((Stuff that he said....And its TRUE))[/QUOTE] Oh man, i remember those good days from the launch of trading items and everything 1 hat for 1 hat, they didn't had that bs of ''OH MAN THAT HAT IS 1.33 GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE LOWBALL NOOB'' Still remember when plenty of people loved the Sgt. Drills hat or even other hats such as the hound dog and the bonk helm, and they would trade 1 hat just for it without arguing about the price... now ''LOLROFL THAT HAT IS 1.33 LOWBALL!! GIBE ME MOAR METAL''
"All right, lets open some crates up...I'm feeling lucky today!!" *Buys 11 keys* Ayane-152 has unboxed: 3 Strange Bottles 1 Strange Overdose 1 Strange SMG 1 Strange Big Earner 1 Strange Southern Hospitality 1 Strange Diamondback A Mann's Mint :suicide:
Only crates everyone worth unboxing are salvages and new ones.
I only open #41 crates because I will never get a salvaged one, and every time I got a strange diamondback somehow, except this one time I got a crocodile smile.

Ok, let's give another shot at VSH. Maybe it'll be better this time. Let's just wait for this round to be over and- [t]http://i.imgur.com/XZquf.jpg[/t] To top it off, this guy was a total homophobic and racial douchebag by calling Hale a nigger and faggot during those 30 seconds I was in there. Fuck this gamemode!

I'd like some more TC maps... wonder why they haven't made any more... I love a good round of Hydro now and then.
[QUOTE=OffTheRoad;35565033] To top it off, this guy was a total homophobic and racial douchebag by calling Hale a nigger and faggot during those 30 seconds I was in there.[/QUOTE] I often wish to myself why can't the /b/ attitude stay in /b/? On another note, why is there a stigma when it comes to buying things through the mann.co store? It actually helps put money into the game, as well as helps you completely by pass the stupid spreadsheet problems (as far as things like paints, higher tier hats, go) Yet mention it and apparently you're a retard for spending money on virtual items.

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/wat146.png[/img] Turns out Dirty means Uncraftable due to being store bought.[/QUOTE] I fucking hate this. "Nyeeehhh! It's STORE BOUGHT! It's dirty! Nyeeeeh!" Who gives a shit? It's a hat. "dirty" hats look exactly the same as "clean" hats.
STEAM TRADING AGAIN/ Just now, almost had a team captain, a blighted beak and 3 other cancer hats for 5 ref when at the end of the trade WHAM ERROR SOZ GAISZ! The trader thought I was scamming (well, you know) and left.
Call me crazy but I think valve should remove trading, making it so any hats or weapons you find are yours, and if you can't find the one you want, you craft it. I realize how many people this would piss off, But it would make the community so much better (with time).
But.. But.. No :c
Alright, i fucking hate it when its only ME who is having item server problems. everyone else would have thier items but NO NOT ME. And i FUCKING HATE this: When you type something and it doesnt let you type anymore but you can still do all the other shit like aim and fire and shit BUT you're mouse is still on the fucking screen and so is the fucking text box. I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK
Trading isn't a problem. People are. I did miss those times when 1 hat = 1 hat. Wanted a weapon = traded a hat. But, maybe one day, I'll open Steam, pick my class, saddle up and kick some ass and I will see in chat, people trading hat for hat, item for item, and no more "add sweets plz" or "add sumthing, cuz ur hav 1.33 and mine is 1.66". Well, that's only a dream, since people always be greedy.

Taunting absolutely infuriates me, especially when there's a player who does it every time. Something about taking a precious 5 seconds just to piss me off just makes me want to punch something. Made even worse when it's a player with some really annoying loadout like Enforcer, Spy-cicle and Dead Ringer. [I]"Well, just got killed. Can't really blame anyone but myse-"[/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/86kG1.png[/IMG] [I]"YOU COCKMONGLING FAGGOT GET THE FUCK OVER HERE I WILL DESTROY YOU"[/I]
[QUOTE=HyperTails;35552630]Kid admins[/QUOTE] An old VSH server I used to play in had this thing where if you donate 30USD a month, you get admin status for being "sponsors". So naturally, a whole bunch of players(kids using their parents money) cashed in for powers and the whole system just went to hell. They called votes against players who offend them or defeat them in-game, altered gravity, used noclip, you name it. 3 weeks later, all the donators got their powers stripped and banned shortly after.

Fair enough, I wasn't trying too hard, but then he taunted. BIG MISTAKE BUDDY. I spent the rest of my time killing him and schaudenfruede-ing his mangled corpse. Every time he bitched about me, I would change classes. The best was the pyro, flare gun sniping is awesome. He eventually left. [I]Achievement unlocked: Bar-B-QQ[/I]

[QUOTE=Constructor;35569204]I see no problem.[/QUOTE] He's also a rather good Sniper and did that just to troll me. He is the reason I had to set my profile to private, since he randomly joins the games I'm in (with the "Join Game in progress" thing that appears on a profile). I mean, whatever Server I go on, he suddenly appears there and is a total dick.
Today I felt like playing BLU payload engie. There was another engineer who built some stuff during setup, helped him upgrade. He also had teleporter, so I thought this is taken care of. When I die, he's already 4th sniper on our team, all his stuff is gone and I have to build and upgrade my own teleporter.

That way people would hopefully only be trading when they really wanted to and you didn't have to deal with morons just to get what you want. But oh no, that would take away the point of the Mann Co store. :/ What especially gets me is the assholes who find out an item they had is craftable, or comes in a crate, to which they say [I]"BAWWWW, ANYONE can get that item now so the value of has decreased by 0.69 ref!" [/I]like the selfish shits they are, because apparently if other people also have nice things then they aren't as nice. It sucks, because I'm sure Valve never saw the retarded TF2 economy becoming what it is now. Whenever I trade with my friends I still do it based on what we want, not what arbitrary value each item has attached to it. It seems like that isn't the case anywhere else, though. People are such massive cunts about virtual items and it's like a cancer in the community. I actually frequent a server where on-server trading isn't allowed. Some people see it as dictatorial and it might be, but it's a lot better than having people sitting in spawn, bargaining with each other about pixels.
