I really don't get that argument. Because I did something that actually made my life marginally easier* and got me a few online items I'm clearly obsessed with my e-peen and rate everyone by their hat number?

*I no longer had to load up TF2 each time I wanted to play, it was right there and ready for me minimised.

Their just hats, if you were going for hats. If you wanted weapons, then I don't think that counts.

What if we just liked one hat? Say... the pyro fire chief hat? Took me about 2 weeks of idling, but I got my pyro hat and am happy.

The only hat I want out of all of them, is the Heavy's ushenka.  And not only did I not get it, but all the hats I got were wiped out.

And really, I didn't care about weapons - I had already earned them the legit way, so I was just deleting repeats which has come back to bite me, thanks to crafting.

A certain program which would open TF2 and run it in the background with you connected to a special server became massively popular. Almost all idling was happening on it but after a while valve decided it was cheating. They removed all the hats/items anyone had earned with it and gave those who hadn't used it the halo. (Which is still in my opinion the ugliest hat available.)

I think it wasn't so much the idling that valve didn't like, it was more the using a third party program to idle for you that they didn't like.  I think they just deleted the hats and such of the folks who used that program.

Of course I don't keep up as well as I should, so I could be wrong.  Last I heard Valve didn't like regular idling, but weren't going to punish folks for it.

The biggest problem with the halo is that for a while it didn't become invisible along with the spy. Made it impossible for spys to use it. I'm not actually sure if that was ever fixed, because I still see halos floating around without a player sometimes.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

I agree. I just wear Bill's Hat on most characters.

While playing, I took the liberty of checking my inventory. Where I suddenly noticed that I owned a Modest Pile of Hat.

Fuck. Yes.

My Modest pile of hat is better than your modest pile of hat. Somehow.
