As we have previously reported, Valve’s new “item drop” system for weapons and items in their latest update for Team Fortress 2 has gotten a lot of heat from its players. While Valve has attempted to explain how the item drop system works in their latest blog update, many players on the Team Fortress 2 message boards have expressed their concern that the new system basically makes playing game less skill-based.

One message board poster put it best, saying, “To me, it seems too Communistic (it’s a word, google it) - if everyone plays the game and tries their best, then they’ll all eventually get the items at about the same time that everyone else does, so it will feel fair.” Some have also complained that people can sign onto a TF2 server and then simply go into spectator mode. Item drops still happen even with idle players. While Valve reps have mentioned how they came up with the item drop system for the game so far they have yet to address the fundamental complaints about the system that players have posted on the forums.
