Thanks man, that makes sense, i have seen they removed it from the store too. Communication with the customers leaves a lot to be desired by Valve though.
I wanted to surprise my staff of my community with items (worth ~2 keys each) last year, special name/description tagged and in the end gift wrapped. I pushed it from christmas to new year (for other reasons though) and now i'm still having them in my inventory, in hopes this would be fixed soon. Well I guess once this works again, I'll go with "Hey guys, random surprise for no reason other than you are awesome!" :) ----- Original Message ----- From: uasmatrix <uasmat...@aim.com> To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2016 10:20:05 -0500 Subject: Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released > Supposedly it's not really broken, but Valve disabled it for the time being > due to the fact that people could bypass their Escrow / confirmation bullshit > with it. > > Basically if someone had their account taken, then the hijacker could gift > away the person's items to some alt, and there would be no issue with having > to confirm anything since it's a gift. > Plus, since you can remove gift text now, it wouldn't even devalue anything > in the eyes of the hijacker or anyone else. > > I don't know how true that is, but there was some discussion about it here: > > http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/47275-psa-gift-wrap-and-giftapults/ > > > In that thread there's a link to some Reddit post where some guy apparently > had the above happen to him. > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: ED-E <ed-e_fo...@wobre.com> > To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list > <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> > Sent: Fri, Jan 8, 2016 1:26 pm > Subject: Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released > > Gift Wraps are broken since "Tough Break" update. > > You cannot wrap items anymore (this is tested by multiple people), you > hear the sound, your see the counter going down, but that's about it. > I tried to inform last year via TF Team contact from the website, > support ticket and in the TF2 forum (where already were couple of > threads), but after seeing this patch it seems to be ignored, thus I > give this here a try.
