I never really got the stigmata against F2P people.

Explanation?

Meh, many of them use overpowered weapons, or are just very bad players in general. (dont talk, dont listen to teammates, do things absolutely wrong...)
Note my use of many, not all of them are bad.

Tough voicechat is pretty good in influencing people.


EDIT:
Btw, in that 2008 post, he forgot that the grenade launcher has a very long reload. And that every class has 3 weapons.

[Dermonster]

I fail to see how willingness to shell out a few bucks make any difference in play style.

(EX: Paid to play)

[Putnam]

It's not so much the f2p issue as the free weekend type thing.

[Blizzlord]

The grudge usually stems from the fact that the Über update made the average player less skilled as there were more bad players who incidentally were F2P.

Also, F2P's don't get hats. Nobody likes the "poor and Irish."

[Duke 2.0]

 Every group has a subset of loudmouths that take some joy/comfort in being exclusive and badmouthing any new demographics trying to enter their thing. That is pretty much the whole of it. The only people affected by a bunch of new players making the game too easy are people playing on valve servers. If you were playing on such servers before the Uber update then they are not in a position to talk much smack.

 My buddy just finished a 72 hour mapping contest.

 And lots of gems being produced by the source filmmaker.

Don't be like that man, I have a ghastly gibus

[Putnam]

The gibus, alien swarm parasite and pyrovision goggles all count as -1 hats each until you get a real one

Don't forget the Spiral Sallet. I guess we can add the Robot Chicken hat to the list, too.

I give the Spiral hat a pass because:
1) I never see people wearing it.
2) It's actually pretty cool looking.

Gibus's (Gibi?) are like wearing a shirt that says "it's my first day", though.

[The Scout]

I wear it sometimes. Causes many people to rage when I turn out to be competent.

Also I like tophats. I'd wear one once in a rare while at a formal occasion if I feel I've earned it.

[Orangebottle]

The Sallet is the only decent demoknight hat. I give that one a free pass.

[Putnam]

Are you suggesting that the glengarry bonnet is not an awesome hat for demoknighting? It reminds me quite a bit of Jack Churchill.

[miauw62]

My gibus is ghastlierest.
AKA, its like a gibus²

But i dont wear it, i dont really like it.

Also, this.
