The Strange quality was introduced alongside the Uber update, available through unboxing a series 19 and onward crate. They have a kill count that shows the total amount of kills obtained with the weapon. The items will have their name changed dependant on how many kills the weapon has. For instance, after getting ten kills the gun will change from 'Strange' to 'Unremarkable'.

That's pretty sick.

So let me get this straight, the people who bought the game get to use hats...and that's it? 

I absolutely despised the whole concept of the hats.  I have worn Bills hat on occasion because I like the minimalist style, but most of the time I'm wearing the default hat.  So all I get for being a longtime customer is a feature I don't use?   There has to be something more than that.

(P.S. Yes I loved the game before the hats, and before there was umteen million unlockable weapons.  I haven't been playing much lately, not hard to find out why.)

So you're upset... because you didn't get anything for free for the game you don't play anymore?
Yea pretty much, after thinking about it it seems kinda silly. 

 It was probably more of a "When I do go back to playing everybody will just think I'm another free to play noob because I'm not wearing any hats."  But even then I still have my shiny badge so I guess that's irrelevant too.

Continue with your regularly scheduled discussing.

The primary reason why people would want to have a premium rather than a free to play account is the backpack size. there are now 99 additional weapons including the 7 promo reskins. F2p accounts only have a backpack of 50 slots.

Also as the f2p can't have hats, this also means that they cannot get the set bonuses for most of the weapon sets that include a hat.

Pft, the set bonuses are meaningless and pretty worthless when compared with the pride you have from wearing a hat.

I still haven't gotten a single hat that wasn't promotional, and I've got 52 hours under my belt  :c

Everybody's getting cool drops lately but me, all I got was gloves of running urgently (Although I did use them to craft the hibernating bear, which helps mitigate the Tomislav's lower DPS from firerate.)

Hat drops are rare like that. But you should be close to your first drop. Other than that, the rate of item drops is one every 50 minutes on average.

 like 1000 hours playtime.

 One class hat for each class, buncha event ones. Spy doesn't have a class hat so he gets stuck with a camerabeard and Gibus for the most ramshackle looking spy out there.

My favorite hat/misc combo is the Detective Noir and the Liscence to Kill. I look like a hardboiled detective with that setup...

I have around 1000 hours and around 40ish hats. I have to recount them.

750 hours here, 20 hats, but I have a v. towering pillar, a voodoo juju, and an attendant, so I'm in good shape quality wise.

Actually, I once found 2 hats after one life. I was sooo happy. Then I realized that BOTH HATS WERE HATLESS ENGINEERS. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUu-

Craft them together, hopefully get something that isn't hatless.
