no items on idling accounts

Now we will have to... play... the game. OH GOD.

Long time coming.

My current PC cannot handle TF2 well, at lowest setting its only 10fps max...
There is no other way to get items aside from idling, im not big fun of idling, i really liek to actually play TF2, but...

Yaaaaay!!!!! finally justice has been done. most of the people I know are idlers. Awesomeness :D

This is a victory for the common person.

Does this mean that the supply of keys on the market should drop? Since most idle accounts add 2 keys to the market and there won't be any new accounts just for idling there should be less keys on the market, right?

Good. You should be banned from Steam. You and all of your 15 accounts.

Valve disabled textmode idling

Guess that Valve Economist finally learned about idlers and told Valve to cut it because idling increases supply without increasing demand, making prices go down.

well I still have like 80 refined (pure and weapons) and 40+ keys in stock across 5 accounts, I just won't buy anything anymore except new weapons (if there will be any)

oh by the way say farewell to cheap craft hats, cheap stranges, "cheap" salvaged crates and cheap anything overall, because until now the average TF2 player could buy pretty much everything relatively cheap except keys and high tier items

NICE one Valve :)

I'm not really in favor of idling at all, but now I expect the drop system to have some changes to, as this way it won't be possible to see hats or even some strange weapons anymore.

Autoclick...
With Virtualbox you can install and run 2, 3, 4 or more windows on a single computer and autoclick can press ok...

I predict a drastic change in the steam economy.

Heh heh heh. Good job, VALVe!

Game over, man!

Tipically, last years they do nothing, and they have to do one bad thing to complete the years of bad things...
I expect with that they not change the price of tf2 keys in the economy, if that success i will get really angry with valve ¬¬

This is a little disappointing. My daughter likes to play with me against bots on a lan server I set up. Since she is new to the game, she has almost nothing. So I was letting her account idle once or twice a week just to help get her some different things to play with, which she was grateful for. She is young, so dedicating a lot time into playing the game is unrealistic. Not that this is a game killer or anything, but she did get excited each time I told her to check the new things she had acquired.

I hope you're fucking banned.
