We as customers bought the game, as the person who made this email found out pretty fast valve employees are running around servers using these items that give themselves one hell of an advantage over the regular player. There is no need to be sarcastic in here Michael, I was upset at the fact that they all had circumvented the regular way of getting items (just playing the game). Instead *some* not all of their employees which has been made clear to myself in here had some uber'd version of a regular gun, and which ever hat they wanted. To me as a paying customer that is does no sit right at all set right in my mind. The employee's already have enough perks by being able to beta test games and or get games for free. They should not be destroying the game for paying customers just because they were hired (again this is no longer true, but whatever), or by being able to circumvent the shoddy item giving system and give themselves which ever items they please. Now tell me, which one of you has managed to get 8hats<http://tf2items.com/profiles/76561198001709917>? 9hats <http://tf2items.com/profiles/76561197960434622>? 19hats<http://tf2items.com/profiles/76561197971292977>? 21hats <http://tf2items.com/profiles/76561197999842654>? 24hats<http://tf2items.com/profiles/76561197971049296>? 26hats <http://tf2items.com/profiles/76561197999842654>? 27hats<http://tf2items.com/profiles/76561197960265731>? the list really goes on so I'll spare everyone the trouble, I didn't bother looking at all 159 profiles but if someone wants to... all the power to you.
I know I'm probably the only one against this, but that's just me. Kyle.
