I get terrible drop rates - for weapons. I could give less than a shit about hats, I want my goddamn weapons.

As for the whole "Hi, you paid for this, here's a hat" thing, I really think that getting a hat, a fucking cosmetic item of no real worth, is kinda a raw deal. I would've preferred each player (who bought the game before the uber update) getting a random rare item instead of/in addition to the hat. As it stands, I really don't think the advantages a paid player has over a free player are worth the $20 I spent to buy this game.

That said, I'll keep playing, because I really enjoy this game. I'd like to see there be more distinct advantages to being a paid player, though. A larger backpack and getting hat drops really doesn't strike as being worth very much. Hell, I'd even accept something like an improved drop rate for items or a better chance of rare items or, hell, maybe free keys for all those crates.

Basically, I'd like to see something of demonstrable worth given to those who bought the game. Not just spent money on items, but actually bought the game. I don't care what it is, but as it stands, hats and a bigger backpack strikes me as a pretty shitty reward for buying the game.

 Your reward for buying the game is over a thousand hours of playtime.

 Unless you bought the game this year, then yeah they probably should have given everyone who bought the game like $10 of store credit.

Some free keys would have been nice. I don't think I ever did get a holiday key.

Congradulations! You are this threads 6,000th poster! You are entitled to one free hat from someone in the thread!

Now do you still get hat drops even if you can't wear them if your a free player?

And you guys have any estimates on how long it'll take before the lag is dealt with? Being new to the game I've got no idea how quick they are to deal with issues like that.

I think that since you can't use them, you can't get them off of drops. But then again you don't see hats drop alot, so its hard to tell.

You mean like in-game lag?  The game's played on private servers, it's not TF2's fault.

Huh, well shows how much I know I suppose. Only been in one online game so far and everyone else was reporting lag to. Maybe it is my computer thats to blame for some of the choppiness if the offline sessions are anything to go by. Though not quite sure why it needs to connect to the servers if its 'offline'...

Even the Doctor knows hats are everything.

I got Natasha in a drop, and then Natasha from the Heavy's second Mile stone.

I was okay with it because I had already turned the first one into a Tomislov by that point.

Meanwhile at Valve...

Well, if it was one time and everyone else noticed it, it's reasonable to blame that specific server. Otherwise, it's possible it's your computer, but TF2 doesn't need anything too high-end to run nicely.

Just got a strange stickybomb launcher.  I'm lukewarm about all this.

Also, I hate vintage items.  I'll never use half this shit but I can't bring myself to craft it.

It's handy, I'll never accidentally craft all of a version of a weapon, so I'll always have the option of using it.

 But the crafting menu sometimes puts the vintage item at the top of the 'stack', so I have to be on my toes about it.
