TF2 external idlers get stuff removed

[ChexGuy331]

Oh balls, I hope this doesn't delete my current stuff (I deleted all my idling stuff because all of the items I received were dupes).

i'll get over it, but i'll never get a hat again because the server i go to has all non-idlers, i idled for 2 days, for 2 hours, then stoped, never goign to get a hat again

forget you valve.
You loving do god damn NOTHING about this god damn loving idling stuff, then all of the sudden they drop the bomb and say "we dont like people doing this" and clear all the loving items earned using the idler. EVEN the ones that were earned when valve said nothing about how they dislike idling for the whole god damn two months.

It's a good thing I didn't get any hats!
I think...
Wait, will it remove ALL my items? Or the idle-earned ones?

[kakashi11]

idle-earned ones

Look at VAC, it acts the same way, delays bans.  It's a good strategy, so there's more users of it than at it's release.

I bet if you read the TOS, it'll say somewhere about using third-party software to gain advantage or something.

they make great games but make loving terrible choices

They gave noone a warning of any sort. Jut putting it in small text in the TOS isnt enough.
Seriosuly i dont know anyone who actually reads the whole tos :o

[Chrono]

I do agree that companies don't always make the best choices, but whether or not people read the ToS, they do agree to it.

[Dropshock]

*sigh
I guess I'll eventually get over it. But i'll never get that hat back... :(

[Marcem]

Dropshock, you're just butthurt.  I think that was great choice, sure it pisses people off, but maybe it teaches people to not use those things, because it could just bite them in the ass.  I don't think Valve wants to be changing your e-diapers all of the time.
