I think that what we need is for everyone to really understand both side of the issue. There are reason for wanting the unlocks right away and reason against. Personally, I have no fun in "working" to get the unlocks. I don't have all the achievements and never will either. Nor do I find the current drop system any better.
The only real truth right now is that the game we bought, Team Fortress 2, doesn't exist in it's original form and no one told us this would happen when we bought it. I think this is what is annoying most people right now and this would be so easy to fix with a simple cvar to disable all the unlocks, hats and extra additions that some of us do not want on our servers. Thinking about yesterday now, isn't there a dedicated IP for the Steam loadout servers? We know that if the server can't connect to some other Steam server, the players can't access their loadout. Wouldn't it be possible to block this IP on our servers and disable the loadout? Though I think players will still have access to their previous loadout as it does not reset them.. I know in the past, I couldn't access my loadout screen and my weapon selection had been reset. Isn't there some condition that we can recreate on a server to force this? I understand some admins and players won't like this but it's all about choice. Live and let live. -- Ravnox _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
