I went through similar complaints on the gift drop rates last night. Hearsay indicates they now drop about 3 hours apart instead of last years ~50min. Maybe (hopefully) they slowed it down just for Scream Fortress Classic? On 10/23/2014 9:45 AM, Frank wrote: Ok I see this over on teamfortress

Drop rates seem to be just over 3 hours right now from my testing. Thankfully it appears that the 3 hour countdown still ticks while offline and on non-event maps. On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 7:53 AM, epi wrote: > > > On 10/23/2014 10:45 AM, Frank wrote: > > Ok I see this over on teamfortress.com...

Well said McKay. VAC is especially useless towards a F2P game as well, a hacker can just use throw away accounts if he is so determined. Not keeping your items sure is a deteerent for honest players, but not so much for people who want to "cheat troll" (which is what half the cheaters I see do, the
