As long as you don't turn on TF2 when running the idler, you should be fine.
Also, if you don't set it to delete duplicates, when you join a server it will have spam of you finding all the duplicates since the last time you played, so some people might think you're a hacker or etc.

I just want to go on record to say that one of the biggest reasons the drop system was introduced was to get rid of achievement servers. Now we have idling programs. It seems like a step backwards (though I never had a problem with achievement servers--if you could navigate through the chaos with your sanity intact you almost deserved a reward). I'm still in the small small minority that likes to earn my items. I want to have a goal, work for it, and get a reward for accomplishing it.

Meh. It's better to play and earn honestly IMHO. :biggrin: I just got my Officer's Ushanka!

Well, you can't earn your items anymore, since the system is random. Which is why I don't care if people idle.

I would be much happier of hats were given for accomplishing some insanely difficult task rather than some crazy luck from an algorithm. I don't care if others cheat to get the stuff in achievement servers, that doesn't effect me working to get it. As of right now, I just have to hope that the algorithm will pump out the right numbers, and I still don't have any hats or the dead ringer. And aside from the deadringer, there is nothing I can do to help the situation. Before I could try harder and know that eventually I would achieve the item, now there is no such hope. That was my point.
And the other point is that it would seem from valve's perspective the achievement servers were better because people were still in TF2, now people aren't even opening the game and I'm sure Valve now gets tons of emails about "I've played X hours and still don't have Y!"

Apologies if this has been answered already, but I'm not reading 9 pages
Does it delete the lower level duplicate or does it just delete the next duplicate you get?

You can enable it to delete the lower leveled item, yeah.
Actually I'm fairly certain since this last update they disabled weapon pickups from milestones.
I've seen A LOT of people hit a milestone past couple days and there was no announcement of found weapon.
P.S. Synn how'd you get the GameSrc gamercard to work?

Just IDLE on eGO servers. Its the same thing, and it helps eGO
Sure, seeding helps, but think: do we want to really replace idling with eGO TF2 players just specing the servers?
It seems more beneficial to have 32 players on the idle program than 32 spectators in a real server.
