New one because of autosage.

Quick note: We are still looking for more team members for the Awards event, more info here: >>146413

Because they come in genuine quality now, which it's the exclusivity they give to them unlike before when there was no other way on getting the promos. One would say "why not make those specific promos at least craftable and turn genuine those that were obtained that time?", but I guess Valve wanted to be fair with those who got them by maintaining their "value", which also currently serves to the mannconomy.

>>146744
We can use some help, although right now the priority is looking to those interested before having a fixed number of members. You will be taken into account.

Well, I just got scammed for the first time today (not counting the time when I was new and dumb and traded an Essential Accessories for a Foster's Facade). Wanted to buy a craft hat, and found out the hard way that a Dealer's Visor is not in fact usable in crafting. Not sure if I feel better or worse that this is a rather old scam... either way, lesson learned - if even slightly unsure, always double-check.

The guy immediately left the game and changed his name, so he knew exactly what he did. His Steam profile ID is 76561197964759565. Goes by a ton of names. Stay clear.

The thing is, and this is always the problem with established anything (fashion, sports, vidya, movies, etc.), the majority of new people don't want to take the time to read a manual or cliffnotes or do training offered by the medium. So they jump right in and expect hand-holding when the answer is easily accessible--in the case of TF2, right in the game. Funny thing is, they do this for an hour hours then get made when people offer advice even though they haven't learned anything.

I really wish that Valve would make TF2 constantly pester the user to do the training until they either do the training to a certain level (I'd say right before they are allowed to do a practice game) or they get 15 hours of playtime in. In fact, all F2P should do this. And by "pester", I mean a little window every time they die ("You might have been able to avoid this death if you've trained!") that disappears before they respawn, as well as extra highlighting for the Training option in the menu. Nothing that interferes with gameplay, but will urge them to help themselves.

So when someone comes in with questions that are easily answerable like that, it's only right and just to point and laugh: they're intentionally ignorant.

Speaking of which, I somehow got the Specs even though I haven't helped train anyone. I got a request once but the user cancelled before I could do anything.

Yeah, I found out after installing it that it plants a rootkit on your computer. Some folks insist that they've been playing the game for some time with no ill effects, but I decided I'd rather not risk it. Uninstalled the game and got rid of the DRM using this guide:
http://www.aionsource.com/topic/53559-how-to-completly-remove-nprotect-game-guard/

nPGameGuard DOESN'T in anyway harm your computer, but it's true that it's a rootkit so it will try to hook itself to the system; not malicious, it could be annoying at most. Some say it can affect a bit your pc performance, but that's just the experience of some, not everyone.

Aside from that, people are just being paranoid, and then there are some that are just trying to annoy/prevent other players from getting the fancy knife by basically telling everyone "ITS A VIRUS DONT INSTALL".
>> No. 147441
>>147434
But a rootkit, which is supposed to go undetected and be insanely hard to remove, can open up all kinds of holes on the computer if not properly programmed, which most aren't ("professional" or otherwise). This is why Sony got in hot water a few years back.

Just because they say it's "innocent" and you can't see it doing anything actively doesn't mean it can't harm you. This is why DRM is bad.
>> No. 147445
>>147441

Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with that since it's an usual problem regardless of their nature, but I was talking more about this software in particular, harmless itself but annoying.
Luckily, GameGuard isn't hard to deal with now days since it's often the common "protection" of your generic f2p game.

The way the offer details are worded in the AVA Steam page, it looks like the weekend deal applies to the in-game currency and Holy Mackerel for AVA, while the Black Rose doesn't seem to have a time limit (similar to the Alien Swarm Parasite). If the knife's availability does end with the weekend offer though, it expires February 20th, 10AM Pacific Time.
