So everyone can be sexy...

This is in response to all of those who wish to know my hat hax. I <3 making you all green with envy, but I <3 u all the same. This may sound really dumb...but I have 3 hats, and I'm guessing you have none. :lol:
Just to get it out of the way, I've never used an idle program.

Basically, to sum it all up...I think vavle wants players to diversify. Newbs to the game pretty much stuck with medic or soldier....spy was something to work up to. Then the drop system comes along to encourage players to try new types of gameplay. I don't think valve wants us to have 800 hours at soldier, but 2 hours at spy. New tactics came along with offensive snipers, uber-stopping scouts, and I do see more pyros guarding sentries with air-blast than fire now. Change is good, embrace it.
When the sniper/spy and drop system came out, all of you were most likely in bed. I joined a random server to start working on my sniper unlocks. I hadn't played sniper much at all, but because of my deep resentment of the spy, I started with sniper. Within minutes I had a huntsman. I was the first person to find anything on that server. So I continued with the huntsman for about 30 hours, and I got a sniper hat. Woo hoo! Huntsman got old after 50 hrs or so, so I started trying anything but pyro. I switched load outs a lot for the other classes. It took a lot of hours, but before you know it I have 2 sexy demo hats. :power:
I'm not saying this is even a likely scenario, but I'm going to keep playing my least played classes, and trying new tactics. Sure, my k/d will suffer and my team might loose because of me, but this is about accessories. So everyone go n00b!

By the way...if this trade stuff ever happens, my second demo hat will be auctioned to the highest bidder.

btw: I'm still sticking to my you-baked-cookies-for-Valve theory... specially Gabe, he looks like he needs a lot of cookies, daily. :lol:

It's just loads of people have been playing so long and not got any hats then someone comes on the server 'hi guys im new, good game so far' only to unlock one of the hats around 2 days later. It's kinda stupid that they dont make the rate of getting one higher for people that have been playing for a long time, and grats on the hats :P

Haha ofog :)

I've been embracing the noob play a bit and try and bump up my soldier hours, gone from 6 to 10 :)


I like the auctioning idea, if someone wants they could offer a hat and the high bid goes as a server donation. Would be nice if anyone gets doubles they don't need.

I will be auctioning any hats I find (not just doubles) for server donations, if people are seriously willing to pay for them. Stupid hats. You won't find me wearing one.
