Had 3 refined, got a fucking ushanka. Crafted that shit with the steel pot Got the Whoopee cap. Meh, I ain't crafting another thing.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;23149990][url]www.cheaptf2australium.com[/url][/QUOTE] woah woah, don't even joke about that!
Interesting proposal, it would seem that valve really is devious. For example, the old drop system fits the criteria of the "skinner box" technique (one used for addiction in MMOs) which is sort of strange for them to implement.
I'm crafting just to get my pyro hat. Only 2 more refined metals!
Thanks to all who crafted their entire backpack, Gabe now sits at his desk with this face: [img]http://celtic.theoffside.com/files/2009/09/trollface.jpg[/img]
today I turned into competetive tf2 player using vanilia weapons only yes this is my poor excuse why I crafted all my weapons oh god why
At least this ploy will remove a load of the items found using idling from the system.
I crafted everything i didn't use, so i didn't really lose anything.

brb going to post this in the SPUF :v:

(which will be quite valuable once everyone else has gotten rid of theirs :v:)
I'm not gonna deny it, I fell for it. I went "Fuck it, it's just a game. If I get it, I get it. If not, eh, I finally have a goal instead of dicking around all the time." Clever.

The drop cap has been reset, this theory is partially debunked.
Too bad i had no items already from crafting. chances of getting the wrench - none. I did see 2 already.
Who here ONLY crafted their duplicates to make sure that their gameplay experience would not be affected by the Golden Wrench drops?
Well I did.
I didn't craft my whole backpack, so I'm cool. Even though I get a golden wrench or not, I'd rather use the regular wrench or an unlockable melee. There's nothing special about it anyway.
[QUOTE=lockdown6;23149597]why do all brazilians write iten instead of item [/QUOTE] In portguese, all words finishing in M when in plural change to N and receive a S so item>> itens I actually did type items but then i had a little second of thinking and replaced with itens, i got confused with the grammars. Portuguese has an extremelly annoying and complex grammar (nothing compared to german or some other languages) but still very annoying, it's hard not to get confused with two grammars. And as for iten instead of item, that comes from spanish, as words don't end with M and yes with N.

I'm trying to hold off on playing TF2 this week, I want some good items, if any from the update Thursday, right away :(
Call me stupid. I crafted away my entire backpack and got a Whoopee cap. GG valve, GG.
[QUOTE=Cam00;23149473]Win. I hope this is the case, and it sounds like something Valve would do. Also bring back leveled items, at least for those that were there at the time of the leveled items (silver badges, i think).[/QUOTE] Bronze here and I have a level 99 natascha
Chances really are they are creating a demand for a trading system.
Mind = Blown All I crafted was a huntsman and razorback hoping for a wrench. Didn't work out.
[QUOTE=Noz;23157193]Bronze here and I have a level 99 natascha[/QUOTE] Lucky you. I really want leveled items back, I see no point in their removal. It actually adds meaning to finding dupes.

[QUOTE=Killuah;23157356]Chances really are they are creating a demand for a trading system.[/QUOTE] Wow, if that is their intention, then it worked. I crafted everything. At least I have a Buff Banner. :|
[QUOTE=Wii60;23156319]:saddowns: at least i kept my Fan,cloak and dagger, demo sheild (Forgot what it was called), and gunboats[/QUOTE] I thought I had 3 FaNs. Only had 2. Now I can't play Scout. So I have to resort to going Equalizer with the Soldier. :( On the bright side I did get a Scotsman's Skullcutter and didn't lose all that much out of my backpack, need a new Jarate and Axstinguisher but I'm not dead yet. Oh yeah I need a Dead Ringer, Huntsman, FaN, Natashcha, Sandvich... that's about it.
Would be nice if they created a separate "trading channel" accessible from a "Trade!" button in the main menu. You'd be able to set what you want to trade for what and it'd find you a partner.
