09/02/09(Wed)22:52 No.37099098Summarized as such, VALVe pulled a total EA move. Also known as a dick move to those outside the gaming community.
It
starts with VALVe releasing a broken, half implemented drop system,
with at least 75% of its 'supposed' features left out (Item crafting,
reward drops, and trading to name a few) which drops much advertised
cosmetic items at a rate of- you'll love this- 0.4% every 4 hours of
play. Making it essentially a system that only benefits those
14-year-olds without jobs who can just play Team Fortress 2 all day
without fear of repercussion.
Then you get a couple fags with
jobs who might want hats, but can't play TF2 all day. They exploit
VALVe's already broken system by implementing a way to idle for hats
outside of the game itself via a simple .exe. Honestly, Idler or not,
you had to be glad to see all those 'achievement_idle' servers that
were cluttering up the game fade from the server list, right?
Well
they're back, because apparently idling in game with the massive
processor/RAM usage that it entails is A.O.K., but as soon as you make
a user-friendly work around to the issue, you're a monstrous immoral
cheating bastard.
For the record I really don't care that much
about hats, nor did I ever get one, it's the principle of the thing. I
expected better of VALVe than to jump on and crucify 5-10% of their own
userbase for a problem they themselves created with the random drops.
Without any warning, something they thought the achievement hackers of
old were worthy of.
Dick. In face. |
