The Mann-Conomy Update

[a pet rock]

Right now all I see is the scout has a natascha pistol and the sniper gets immunity to headshots for ultimate corner-hugging body-shotters. I don't want to be too pessimistic about this, but I'm about to rage quit right now.

[an arctic banana]

[DanJK]

Nice new update

 

[Planeswalker]

Those prices...man are they hard to swallow.

Just got into the store for the first time and my lord, some of those are ridiculous. I'm not going to spend close to $20 for a bunch of aesthetic enhancements to my character.

I'm OK with the idea of micro transactions, I'm not OK with the prices Valve rolled out. Shame too, because I REALLY wanted that whole Spy pack and I figured $5...maybe $10 at the WORST. No way in hell am I paying $20 for it.

Trading, random drops, and crafting it is for me.

I remember when TF2 was about TF2 and not about hats.

Those prices...man are they hard to swallow.

Yup, if it was $1 an item or something, then I'd consider it. If I had the money to pay $20 for a set of items, I'd probably donate it to eGO first anyway

Way back then did you have to go up hill both ways in pouring demo spam to capture the intel too? :laugh:

 

[Cut Chem!st]

You see micro transactions in free to play games all the time, never seen them like this in a full game. The prices are just crazy. Your paying like double what you payed for the game for some items.

Broken craft system much? Just lost a couple of scrap metals for nothing

Nah. Probably intentional, now you have to spend your money on the store >

The day I pay money for an item in TF2 is the day the gravity gun becomes an item for the Heavy

Gravity gun now on sale for 99.99$ !

Valve will have to reduce it's price once more items make it onto the market. Idling 4 Profit!

History of Valve's TF2 Changes that affected the community.

1. Initial class updates, new weapons unlocked by achievements. Some people whine about achievement servers, but most like this system.

2. The HERP DE DERP update. Random item drops. Random hats. Result? Idle idle idle.

3. Halocaust. Community is divided over the use of a program to idle while not in-game. A special item is created and given to everyone who "didn't cheat".

4. Limited edition medals. Rage ensues over the idea of limited items, but most don't care.

5. Bill's Hat. Defended by players, because it's not paying cash for an item, it's just a small bonus for those getting LFD2! No way Valve would be evil enough to create an actual market for items with real-life currency, right?

6. Sam and Max items. See above.

7. Golden Wrenches. 100 available only. Thanks to this being possibly the worst idea ever, and also having the drop times leak and getting several crafters banned, the engineer update has been forever marred with shame.

8. Polycount update announced. I look at the incoming bloat and nerfs and shake my head.

9. Valve finally implements their true goal all along, cash for items. I uninstall my game and regain about four gigabytes of harddrive space for something other then a virtual hat collector.

True story.
