>Stop playing CS:GO to play some TF2 for the summer event >For two weeks, I get no items worth any money >I craft a hat >I can't sell it >I go back to CS:GO
The thing I like about CS:GO is that it keeps me engaged with items and skins worth a few cents to a dollar that I can pawn off on the market. Like I made more from CS:GO case drops than any item in TF2 when I played it back in the day - TF2 is even worse than CS:GO because it wants me to pay for competitive matchmaking AND for this jungle contracts pass thing

is it bad that I kind of miss them still? I had a Burning Flames Blighted Beak and a Cloud-9 Doctors Mask. I miss joining a Server and having everyone gawk at me like a god. It was fun.

when i was getting real with trading keys were for like 6 ref. then 12 ref. then 24 ref. it was constantly raising. refs just need to have a valuable built in money sink to spend refs on to limit supply. Actually when i think about that, maybe craft-only weapons would work? those recipes sometimes eat a shitton of refs and making those weapons will both limit the ref supply and make weapons that are worth more than a literal pile of scrap
How about being able to make random items and hats that can be sold with ref? Literally my complaint in the OP would be solved.

its literally already there. you can either create random weapons using class and slot tokens, or make random hats using 2 or 3 ref (dont wanna try to bother looking it up. The problem is weapons are well, weapons and the random hats are just in their exclusive pool that makes them worth 1-3 ref most of the time.
Hudson Hughes
And remember when it took ages to get 3-4 refined?
I mean keys are expensive now, but a ton of decent hats are only 1-2 ref. So win win

I traded down everything I had, made about $800 in profits (note: I never spent any money on the game), and if I ever play anymore I use a very stylish and simple allclass combo with the pre-F2P military hat, making all my classes look like military veterans. So I no longer look like a pimped shitter, instead really stylish, and I made a profit. Haven't played since inferno.

This happens in all modes for me, except for medieval mode.

I've been playing g TF2 for 10 years and I've never had an unusual that isn't the HHH I still have nightmares about all the fuxki g equalizers I got from series 1 crates back when they were introduced
William Hernandez
Is TF2 playable with a gamepad? I can't do mouse and keyboard very well in anything fast paced. I only have a pinkie and ring finger on my left hand, and I can just barely use the whole left side of smaller gamepads like dualshocks and the imitators. It looks like a less cancerous overwatch, which is really appealing after this last update. I hate feeling like I'm dragging a team down though.

II do. You seem to realize how many cheaters and bunny hopping rocket jumping faggots there are in casual matches.

Always cracks me up when ever his happens. They'll add everyone on the server that seem to have cosmetics/skins to try and scam. It's 2020 do people still fall for it?

I put my profile on private long before volvo made steam profiles private by defult thanks to shit like this.

The worst part is that shit like this didn't stop until a while after I had set my profile to private, almost like I was tagged in some sort of scammers algorithm that kept track about the fact that I had some rare vintage weapon or hat in my inventory. I still get a few friend requests even today just too accept them and immediately be asked to trade or tell them what I have in my inventory. Sure I got some free money out of the trading system but god damn it, it's one of the shittiest things volvo has ever made.

Always wished they added some weapon like this one for the Heavy. It would have more precision, it'd give the user around a 50% speed boost but the firing speed would be lower and it'd have around 140 bullets instead of 200
