I stayed on the TF2 bandwagon since a little after release and love all the changes and never regretted anything. Sure I would like more hats, but I got over it. I thought numerous times the updates would ruin everything. (The halo I swore would divide TF2 forever, I said that random item finds were dumb) Then I realized that I can still have fun without having all the items. I just stopped caring whether or not I got all the items and just wanted to play TF2. Needless to say I will still rate TF2 as one of my top games even with all the updates.
