Someone actually made a program that accesses tf2 without opening it and it auto connects to steam and idle servers.
I never knew someone could be that lazy. It's basiclly idling without actually opening tf2 and it deletes things you actually have except hats.

On an unrelated subject, I recently obained a LV.36 Sandman and LV.69 KBG. I guess i'm lucky with melee weps?

Edit: my YouTube link appeared to be broken so I'll just paste a link to the vid here.

Yeah, it's been like that for a while. I'm just hoping Valve doesn't make it thier priority to fix this over finishing up the trading system. :shock: That would be extremely stupid.

Programmatically speaking this would have to be intentional. It has to be a known issue. It allows them to add something special to higher level weapons if they wanted to later on. Without giving the weapons away now, everyone would have to start over collecting high level weapons.

If they don't do anything, it will still give a perceived higher value to items for the trading system. If all the weapons were exactly the same there would be no reason to trade now that all the weapons can be unlocked with achievements anyway.
