Says the guy who wrote the Sourcemod plugin to ban achievement farmers and even setup servers to ban people in when they received one achievement. I assume you did that because you absolutely agree'd with people getting achievements legitimately? Nothing serious going on there now Msleeper... How is this any different? I have no issue with employee's receiving Hats, although everyone in achievement_idle maps right now, and the over 100,000 people who were idling for hats/dupe unlocks using that external idler may. Current people in achievement_idle servers: http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?search=achievement_idle&type=map&public=&pg=1then you can use the steam browser to find the ones that were not submitted to game-monitor.com.
