Then, silence was blown apart.

After multiple, multiple evenings of getting 4-8 items, I have gone an entire 12 hour period without a single item.

Oh Ilding, you're a fickle mistress.

Urged on by Turtle, I decided to combine my hats with crazy motherfucking black magic and make a new hat. So I grabbed my beloved Glengarry Bonnet (rebuilt from my found Master's Yellow Belt and Trophy Belt) and my new hat, and recrafted them. What you are about to witness made me jizz myself:

My favorite Pyro hat (before the brain slug, but everyone has that now anyways)! FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
From the rebuild hat thread...

Then a day or two later, I joined a random server to collect my drops. It was on Badlands. Bam, 8 items. The usual: "xxx: dirty idler; yyy: hax; zzz: omg wtf". Roll on about 15 minutes later, I'm almost top of the server as Sniper, baked as shit, at that point even I was convinced I was hacking. Then... out of nowhere:

I'm pretty sure I got kicked/banned from that server.

And then the next day on Yellow Version:

Valve loves me. ;D

I just found my first hat, Officer's Ushanka. Thank you, Idle Fortress 2.

That's almost impossible unless something isn't working right for you.  I've never idled before and I've had 4 hat drops from just playing.

Yeah, same with me for a long while, and now I've found 5... try crafting a hat out of those items, I have a hunch that it increases the drop rate. :-\

Can't really say if crafting my solly hat increased drops, but I did get mining light next day.  Keep in mind tho mining light was 4 months after my first hat drop (cancer engineer).

If I get another hat in the next 4 months, then maybe it did increase my rate.

Well, looks like idleing's finally comin to an end.

http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3727&p=1

Basicly, you can only get a set number of items a week.


Course, the other side of this being, now you are guaranteed a drop at a regular interval! ;D

So TF2 blog just got updated, looks like now you don't recieve more drops idling than from just playing, even for a few hours a week.

I guess Valve killed idling at last :\

i just dont get why theyre punishing the people who are most enthusiastic and care the most about getting the hats, simply because the people who hardly care complain a lot. catering to the wrong crowd imo, will pirate hl3 out of protest
