never but I did buy that samurai sword for like $1 even though I never played TF2 like, ever. it sucks because you can't put it away and you pull it out once and it's like playing a really lovely jedi from jedi the force returns 2 except you have 1 hp and no cool jedi powers


i'll never trust my money to ingame items ever again

I have bought keys, and a few tickets, and multiple stranges, strange parts and other things off the market.
But at least I haven't bought a single weapon from the official store.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

I bought a key for one of the taunt crates

I accidentally bought the wrong type of key (this is dumb and stupid why not just use the same drat key) and had to buy another one

Taken completely out of context
The only crate I opened had the Soldier's pick-axe in it. This was before they gave them unusual qualities.

What I'm saying is gently caress crates.

When you people are buying all this dumb poo poo, do you ever stop to think about how you're grown rear end men spending money on what basically amounts to playing online dress ups? At least when little girls do it, they're borrowing clothes from their parents. Who exactly are you trying to show off to in this situation? The other dumb degenerate fucks, who, just like you, have surrendered any sort of dignity or self-respect so their equally gay rear end fucken 'toon' can look totally sweet? You faggots make me sick.

You were right, in that they were ruining the game for everyone that's retarded and making it vastly more epic for all the real gamers.

you used to have to unlock new weapons by grinding achievements. they thought that was a good idea. now they have a better idea: you give them money.

GROSS SHIT
I bought a couple keys in CS:GO and sold an Asimov M4 for more than the game costed. Then I got a shitload of worthless junk and figured out how stupid it was. Now I sell every case I get.

the worst was the polycount pack that offered you a perk if you wore the whole set for a class. that includes the hats which had rarer drop rates.

I was going to say "I'm glad they're gone" but then they never readded the headshot immunity of the Sniper set and I'm not glad of it anymore.
