I was curious to see what was in the TF2 store so i go ahead and look. What i see is a ring that is priced for $100. A ring. A digital ring that is with $100. I still can't comprehend that. Who in their right mind would buy that? Is it just me...or is that really just pointless.

I don't know what it is about the game, but while others can drown 100s of hours in it, I can barely stand it in 5 minute intervals. I just can't get into it..

If you have friends, it's easy to play. If not, you have to be drunk.

There was a hat that sold for $1,200. $100 is nothing.

When it first released, you can see at least 5 "notifications" at any given hour.

Actually, it's meant to be an original and geeky way for TF2 players to propose (or celebrate their commitment to each other). After it is sent, if the second party accepts, every single player that is online is notified about the couple's engagement and both the sender and the recipient get a wearable diamond ring for all classes. Personally, I'd say it's not my cup of tea, but I guess some people would find it romantic or whatever.

In the end, a lot of people just used it as a 100$ gag to would show up on everyone's screen while playing.

The release day of that ring made me stop playing.

Yeah, its release day was quite annoying because of the constant notifications, so I didn't play much then. However, I was not aware that people were buying rings to troll other users, that's just plain stupid. =P

Because it's just a cash grab by Valve. I'm fairly disappointed by them.

It was intended as a joke, valve wasn't expecting anyone to be stupid enough to buy it. Of course, only two things are infinite...

The amount of money people spend on Valve, and the amount of money people spend on stupid pranks.

Valve was actually expecting a lot of people to buy. They know the player base very well.

Yeah, it's really crazy how TF2 kind of has its own economy going on. I think the most expensive hat in the entire game is worth over $3000 in real-life... What can I say? People love their hats.

When people earn $10 000/month, $100 for something like that won't bother them much :)

Its pretty common knowledge that a worrying amount of TF2 players need their heads examined. I used to play TF2 pretty exclusively, but its hard to enjoy the game when you're being bombarded by requests to trade items.

People still do buy the ring. I know that there was someone who actually did a marriage proposal using the TF2 ring, and the marriage was successful.

Even though I still think its a waste of $100, at least its going into hat updates :P

Only retards buys it. Hats cost more than real hats in real shop. The game is balanced. Good players don't buy items so they could become better than others like in many other games. Like i said only retards who don't know how to play buy it. KKTHXBB.
