It was also MUCH faster, I hear on a lot of trade servers that also do events
that its becoming impossible to do (bigger) events on them, due the huge time
it will takes to gather the bets from all participants by the admins. With the
old trade system that was done in under 20 seconds per participant, and with
the current that is often over 2 minutes per participant. With a crowd of 30
people on the server it takes an hour to gather up, not to speak about the
admin then having to swap so many times to the steam overlay that by the time
he's ready, he's crashed and that he cant keep count well that slow (players
move about, drop off server, etc).
In combination with the steam trading failing a lot, this will be the end for
event-servers.
With the old trade system, admins pressed ESC, could handle the crowd while the
particpant was looking for the items, and stuff went way faster. Also, in-game
trade at least worked.
