Regardless I used -textmode for specific reasons not to abuse any type of system. I disagree with this change and as I said I don't expect Valve to reply to any of these complaints as they haven't others in the past. I guess I'll have to launch the client regularly - alt tab it down and leave it like that to help seed and listen to whats being said when I'm not in there.

Also i think someone already has a script that can be ran in textmode that autoaccepts the items that drop. So no more manual accept and idling can continue. I'm not 100% sure about this, i just heard about it few months back. Play the game, run the servers, don't mix clients and players.
