Idling gives you less items.

Also its still a very rare drop chance. I only got one hat out of idling and one just randomly.

I know, I quit idling since valve said it was harder for idlers to find any items. Haven't found a hat ever since. I idled for going 2-ish... years without a hat drop.

No it doesn't. There's just no point to it since you won't gain anymore than normal.

No, it really does give you less.

Today we're shipping some significant changes to the item drop system.

Previously, we rolled randomly at intervals to see if you got an item drop. Now we roll to determine when your next item drop will occur. So you're guaranteed to find items at fairly regular intervals. The bulk of drop complaints we've received in the past have been from players having unlucky streaks, where they didn't find any items for weeks. That won't be possible now.
We've significantly increased the rate at which item drops occur, compared to the previous average interval.
There's now a maximum amount of playtime per week in which you get item drops. Playing beyond that amount won't find any more items. The amount varies, but if you play an hour or so a day you're good. Some of your unused time will rollover to the following week, so if you're an intermittent player you'll also be fine.
What are the net effects of these changes? Here's the quick summary:

If you're an idler, you're going to find fewer items than you were prior to this change. Sorry. On the bright side, there's less reason to idle, because it won't earn more than players who are playing regularly.
Everyone else will find items more frequently, and with greater regularity.

No, it really does give you less.

Can't see what was bold, so I'll assume it was the last section.
You get less items by idling than before the update, but not less than a non-idler.

I'm stupid and can't read.

Idling = less items
Not idling = more items until you hit a certain cap that is determined. It's not low though and rolls over every week if you haven't used it.

Also I have almost all hats and every weapon.


I call bullstuff
We all do.

I have the Tyrolean and Tousle cap, but so far I've had the Tyrolean and two sniper hats (which I then crafted into the tousle cap because I hate sniper) drop
