I said screw it and jumped on real quick...it is a helluva lot better online and didnt do to bad.....we won the 2games I played. I scored a achievement or 2, picked up somesorta gun I cant use apparently, and got like 6th in points (bout 1/2 of top team player, but higher then the other 1/2 of ppl, though im sure alot were lttp). but feel good though cause did my job putting fire out, bouncing meds that were supporting heavies, catching spies trying to rape sentries, 2 axe kills, and basically playing as support instead of rambo (thanks to the rage post from the other page lol).

I see all sorts of customization available...is that mostly drops,pay or a combo of both?....I hate running stock in ANY game and i see me playing this for a little while at least (and I really want that flame shotgun thing)
Good to hear that you were playing smart. Even if nobody calls you out for it, people do notice, and they do appreciate it.
Any weapon you can buy from the store you can craft or (other than 2 weapons that are no different other than cosmetically) have drop. Stock weapons are pretty amazing in this game for most classes (not pyro, their base flamethrower is weak) but if you want to change it up most classes have good alt weapons as well.
If you plan to spend money, DO NOT BUY WEAPONS OR HATS. They are far too expensive from the store, and those of us who have tons of weapons will trade them to you for next to nothing. What you should do is buy keys, not for opening crates, but for trading. One key will easily get you 20+ weapons in trade value. Starting out they are by far the best bang for your buck.
Remember, don't use the keys on crates, you can almost always trade keys for multiple items from any given crate. People value them so high because of the 1 in 100 chance at a rare hat drop. Therefore, unless you feel like gambling with pretty sketchy odds, trading keys will be your best bet with your money every time.
