TF2 external idlers get stuff removed

That was a joke.

Or so you think. They were just planning ahead, of course.

Hah I love the halos on the none idlers, I rape the so hard because the halo is always bright in shadows and over the top of boxes etc. I didn't loose anything good other then my Yellow Bandanna, the rest I got normally.

If you've completed an achievement for an item and lost all instances of that item you will get the item back tomorrow. We'll have a second query run that will fix-up that case.

Eh, Valve is going to punish people without warning again.
"External idling programs" Will change to "Idling"

Thank god All I lost was dupes :D
or I think.. I'll need to check to make sure

It's not about the items what angers me. It's about they never told idling is against the rules.
Besides the idling program doesn't even need to have TF2 files on your PC to work, so the argument about it interfering with game files is invalid as some people try to say(So people who idled on servers should also be punished for something what was never against the rules). And people would have stopped if Valve had warned them before, but no, instead punish them for something what wasn't against the rules before + call them cheaters(cheating is taking advantage over other players, which is not possible with this program as the item drop rates are same, and its basically same as idling on servers, just wastes less PC resources).

There, I'm done with my rant.
Good thing I'm not very dedicated to this game. :o

[Space Guy]

It's not so much fiddling with game files as with the Steam servers by sending false data to them "I'm spectating TF2 in arena_well honest".

Might as well go eradicate every server with a false player count, too.

They won't start raging on Idle Servers, considering if they did we could wtf rage at them because of the achievement servers, those things were gay (On new item release). As for TF2 itself I only keep playing it because of the lack of decent FPS, majority of the new ones are completely impractical or otherwise unbalanced.
