1 Ref for a weapon (Phlogistinator) that drops?! Ugh, I now remember why trading pissed the hell out of me.

It was more than that a few days ago. Just wait another week, it'll be reasonable then.

It's really Valve's fault for not having a crafting recipe for it.

Here is an entirely hypothetical scenario:

1) steal a credit card
2) use stolen credit card to unlock a f2p account and buy tons of keys
3) unbox as many crates as possible
4) since the keys are not tradeable until after a few days, the resultant uncrates are not immediately tradeable either; so any unusuals recieved this way will not be immediately tradeable
5) obtain gift wrap for any unusuals
6) gift wrap*, trade and sell untradeable unusuals to unsuspecting victims, before valve cancels the fraudulent transactions


[*] I don't know if gift-wrap gets around the restriction, since I've never actually tried this.

ooooooooooooh

and yes, Gift Wrap is used to get around the restriction. I always thought that items uncrated with time-locked keys were still tradeable immediately, though. Interesting.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Thanks to Dreams-Visions for the Pomson. It is pretty awesome, especially because screwing Ubers and Spy antics is awesome.

Unless it's changed recently, they are. When I set up my idlers I just bought keys on them, traded crates to them to open then took what came out back on my main account. No waiting necessary.

I thought so. I could have sworn I uncrated some random stranges a couple of months ago with store-bought keys and traded them immediately.

So I guess the question still remains.

Still no new weapons for me. I. Ain't. Even. Mad.

I'm pretty certain you can trade keys instantly now.

Glorious.

GIF version is 100x better (because I don't have to listen to that fucking song).

Hahaha, pretty much.

What's wrong with the song?

Nothin' special, but it's catchy.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I like the song too. :-/

I spent a half hour cabering snipers on 2fort.

My strange caber still has 0 kills. So lame.

The song was so catchy. I actually had to look it up to see who did it.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I envy all of you don't know what that song is. I hear it on the radio EVERY DAY.

yea, lamest strange weapon in the game next to the strange Southern Hospitality.

 

[ArtistDude88]

Fixed. It's one of those songs the radio stations are playing until it makes you want to melt the stereo.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

you guys still listen to music radio? mind blown.

the only station my radio ever gets tuned to is NPR and talk radio. Playola has again taken over music radio, as you are all apparently keenly aware.

[Forkball]

Hey it's full moon time, you can wear those Halloween costumes everyone forgot about today.

[edit] Also there's apparently a scrap bank bot. If only the Steam trading backpack didn't suck and make you accidentally trade older weapons that you painstakingly organized in your backpack.

 

[Togglesworlh]

Pretty much my reaction.

 

[Yeef]

You really have to be a moron to do that. The steam inventory sorts by date acquired. So the items at the end are the newest. That's not very hard to deduce in like 3 seconds.

it sometimes doesn't act correctly. Just yesterday, it was refusing to show my newly acquired items, showing only my earlier acquired items. In other words, there were items I had *2* of. Instead of showing both items with the newest acquisition to the right of the earliest acquisition, it showed only one listing.

Fortunately, it was just with same-level weapons, so it didn't matter, but yea...it's not always fool-proof.

I'll never know if we won that round now or not.

We lost because in a 6v6 match two players on the opposite team decided to play the most balanced class of all: Heavy. By the time we got our act together the server had filled and they actually had real defenses.

Hey, the server is so janky sometimes, you're lucky if heavy bullets hit anyone. It's a good thing they fire so fast!

did the same for me :/

It happens to everyone. Always.

It has been a lot better recently for me, and way less of it fr- fr- fr- fr- fr- fr- fr- freezing up at important times.

I was playing some random matchmaking server and dominating and then Yeoz joined and pocketed me, which only made me dominate more. Then i switched from Soldier to Scout and Yeoz left me (the server was set to like 50 high tower rounds and we had played like 5).

Anyway, the point is, after he left, I had fun messing with bad players, perhaps more than I should have:
