Because Valve SOLD OUT MAN! They are RUINING THE GAME by letting people BUY VIDEO GAME ITEMS FOR REAL MONEY!
... but it's possible to play the game witrhout experiencing any of your problems with it, why would it be stupid to "bother" with it?
rAt.8^].bAg;2482262 said:Sure, it's "possible", but how far back/to what update do you go? I was one of the first to DL on beta release day, and of course there were some bugs and balance issues. It was great that Valve fixed things fairly quickly at that time, but not too heavy-handed.
But then...constant nerfs/buffs like an arms race out of control, and hats, until it just got really dumb with buying/selling/trading and IMO ruined the game. At some point long ago, Valve should have left TF2 be. They could have done a TF3 and put in the items crap.
So from what you're saying they "ruined" this game over a year ago as far as you're concerned... how long does it take for you to move on?
...and then there are times when I'll refresh the server list, join a server with, say, 27/32 people, and absolutely no one will be on. This even happens when I refresh the list twice, and filtering empty servers doesn't help.
Servers can lie about their player count to get people to join. The fact that Valve hasn't figured out a way to fix this is somewhat annoying to me.

I don't trade and I don't pay for aesthetic extras or DLC's in computer games i've already paid for and I didn't say you couldn't comment or have less basis to do so... I might point out some irony in the dumb-assumption department.rAt.8^].bAg;2482371 said:I have as much basis to comment on the game as anyone here. So why are you still trolling when you should be hangin out in Hydro looking for item trades?
You forgot to mention the two hats.From what i recall the halloween update from last year only had a map with a ghost in the middle and a handful of achievements.

Well that sucks. Has that been around for a long time? Has Valve addressed it at all?
What? The only assumption i made was that you must've been upset with it for over a year now. Which you have pointed out is actually a correct assumption.
You are also clearly still upset about these changes even after a year so what exactly is incorrect about what I said?

What am I making up?
How am I wrong?
What spin?
What was "trolling" about what I said?

That's odd. They didn't roll out trading until after the Engineer update. Yet... you're complaining about people trading instead of playing.
