Title: Valve takes down idling
Post by: Tsumaru on September 02, 2009, 04:36:51 PM
"Over the next few days we'll be removing all TF2 items that were earned using external idling applications. We're going to adopt a zero tolerance policy for external applications used to manipulate the persistent item system. Due to us not having a policy in place prior to today, this time we're only removing the items earned through cheating the system. Going forward, if we find users using external applications, we'll remove all of their items. If you're interested, only about 4.5% of the players in TF2's community will be affected by this cleansing process.

Meanwhile, everyone who took the moral high road will soon be finding a new hat in their inventory. We've also significantly increased the chance of finding any of the existing hats.

We realize there is a high level of demand for items, and we're still working on systems to allow you to find them in new ways (via Trading, and crafting duplicates into desired items). However, we need to draw the line at running external applications."


Yep, even though I never got a hat I guess I won't be getting the 'special' hat Valve gives away.  And if they actually put the trading and crafting systems in, I'll probably stop playing.  Someone needs to fire the person who keeps coming up with these 'awesome ideas'.

I lost a whole bunch of jarate, a whole bunch of sandvich, BONK, and my kritzkreig.


So basically I can no longer sit and play WoW all day while playing TF2.


(get it jarate = where i pee, sandvich = my supply of food, my energy drink, and my bong)
