no items on idling accounts

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

4k? 0.0

Who had that many?

the real number according to his posts on the idling group is 6800+ btw not 4k :D

`YES finaly!!

REALLY?? DAMN ITTTTT.. I JUST PAID FOR 4 IDLEE ACCOUNTS

and you need to confirm every item drop in order to get another

Ah... that explains why I'm not getting anything anymore. Damn. Well I guess I'll idle while doing something else.

is this idling in regards to cards or tf2 items? or both?

^ This guy's legit
Respect

i have no idea what are u guys talking about? seriously.. i'm i missing some kind of party? :|

Way too much damage has already been done.

Ha, yea right. The "idle account" claim was nothing more than a selling point to raise key prices. Metal prices won't change a bit, and keys will still go up.

Don't feel sorry for him.

Ha ha!

I stopped reading when I got to him saying "I never 'cut corners'"

5,000+ accounts idling and he didn't cut corners. Well, I think he has a very different definition of "cutting corners" than I do

XD

that's nice 5000+ accounts farming cards, Imagine all those accounts voting for summer cards that sells for 50cents each. Can get 10 cards max just for voting. 10x50c = 5$ea
5x5000 = 25000$ of card value. Not counting the item value being idled
on one side, that's 25,000$ value 5% cut from valve = 1250$. 1250$ worth of pixels, But i guess valve thinks that 85% value for the seller is too much profit from it.

lol this guy had 6800 accs, 3500+ of them were premium... He says he had a bit over 1$ monthly gain for each account overall.. So he made like 7k+ $ monthly from idling.. trading cards not included..

Obviously fake. I mean, look at the screenshots. Are we really supposed to believe he got a reply from Steam support less than 24 hours after he created the ticket?

hey that's my group XD, well I got some friend in there. This really s*cks you know all those people with hunderds, or even thousands of accounts.

Cry me some more, princess. I feast on your tears.

HOLY BALLS. Six thousand accounts?!

This. '-'

Rightly or wrongly, I suspect the majority of TF2 players will say "good riddance".

It's taken a long time for Valve to take action, and with idlers bringing in a lot of money for them, I can only think that they have done it for what they would see as "the good of the community", as financially this could be something of an own goal.

U MAD BRAH

If so, I doubt it will take long for Valve to ban bot accounts.

Despite there being no official acknowledgement, they've signalled their intentions with the new patch, and any attempts to circumvent it are likely to be countered one way or another, and probably in the sort of emphatic way which will dissuade others from attempting to get around the restrictions.

Automating the game will lead to a ban, i'm sure about that

no its not... whut? in order to idle you have to 'buy' tf2 (cant be a free account) so no.. not a 'fake' person, but a real one who has paid for the right to use the system valve created. valve is just getting pissy that people have made the system work for THEM... basically valve "didnt like the game, so they changed the rules", as it were :D

I have a trio of idle accounts that I use to get more metal to craft hats and / or weapons. That's it. I don't buy games or keys with them. I get about 2 ref a week so it's not like I'm making money with this.

That guy with over five thousand accounts... yeah that's quite excessive. But idling for small amounts, I don't see that as being "wrong".

I bought about 36.

I decided to create my third alt a few days ago before the update/sale, good thing I didn't buy premium on the new alt at all after reading this.

idle servers are still working if i not wrong

I just wish I could get my money back, or atleast had spent the money earlier, so I could have gone 1:1 out of this, instead of losing on it.

They took the fun out when they added hats.

I love it too but no, it's not back to just playing the game for fun now. There are no games out there right now that are even remotely popular that are to be just played for fun. Every game nowadays has dumb unlocks and achievements to give gamers a false sense of accomplishment and to give people who have been playing longer an unfair advantage towards newer players. That advantage should come from skill and experience in a game, not getting more powerful weapons.

Which really did nothing to stop it, just made the bot makers more crafty. :/

I think it's fine, their goal is probably to make the item market more fair...

great
