This guide is a follow up to my previous guide. F2P vs P2P. If you haven't read that guide then you are advised to now as that guide covers the more frequent arguments.

So. This guide will finish off the argument of Freemium vs Premium.

What is a Freemium and a Premium? Read the other guide.

So I shouldn't need to spend any longer now. Assuming you've already read the last guide, let's begin.

(It's always hard finding pictures of dedication)

I never said that ALL Freemium's have less dedication than Premium's. What I meant was, that Premiums have something to gain from playing. They have reason to play other than for fun. Where as the Freemium's didn't put money into the game. Just because you never payed for the game, doesn't mean your any less dedicated than the premium players are. It's great that your playing the game and that your dedicated. It's just that the Premium players have more reason to be dedicated where as the Freemium players have less reason to be dedicated to the game, but can still be dedicated none the less.

How many hours played equals how much dedication? Let's talk about that.



The Levels of Dedication: Skill : How long played
>1Hour = Not Dedicated what so ever (Inexperienced: Just Started)
1hour - 5 hours = Partially Dedicated (Basic Concept of Gameplay: Played a little bit before)
5-10 hours = Somehwhat Dedicated (Somewhat Inexperienced: Played for probally 1 day before)
10 - 25 Hours = Kind of Dedicated (Getting better at the game: Played maybe 1 day and a half)
25 - 75 Hours = Freetime Dedicated (Getting Good: Played about a week)
75 - 125 Hours = Dedicated (Almost Good: Played more than a week)
125 - 200 Hours = Pretty Dedicated (Good: Played 2-4 weeks)
200 - 300 Hours = Really Dedicated (Pretty Good: Played about 1 month and a half)
300 - 600 Hours = Very Dedicated (Really Good: Played about 3-5 months)
600 - 900 Hours = Very Much Dedicated (Very Good: Played about 6-8 months)
900 - 1250 Hours = Super Dedicated (Great: Played for about 1 year)
1250 - 1750 Hours = Extremely Dedicated (Better than Great: Played for about 1 year and a half)
1750 - 2250 Hours = Overly Dedicated (Extremely Experienced: Played for almost 2 years)
2250 - 2500 Hours = Immensely Dedicated (One of the Best: Played for about 2 years and a half)
2500 - 3000 Hours = Dedicated to the Point of Addiction (Best: Almost 3 years played)
<3000 Hours = Seek Help (The Best of the Best: More than 3 years played on Tf2)

*Note* This part assumes you don't pull all-nighters of Tf2

The skill is not accurate, but actually just an imagining of how good you should be given the play time.

Do you Contribute?

That saying is wrong and I'm going to tell you why.

While yes buying from the MannCo. Store does contribute to Tf2. However. What contributes more to Tf2's lifespan is playing the game. Considering the fact that Freemiums make up most of the servers (that they're allowed on anyways) they actually end up contributing just as much. On top of that they can also make items for Tf2 and upload them on the workshop. Which also contributes to Tf2, Even though they never bought anything. Freemium's make up a large percentage of Pub servers, which keeps the game alive since they're playing it. And simply playing a game can keep a game alive. Just look at Team Fortress Classic, or Quake, Unreal Tournament. They existed because people played them. So, playing the game itself is contributing. Even if they didn't buy anything.

So what have we learned here today. That playing the game is all that should matter. Not what other people look like, not what you look like, Not how many hats you can get. Just playing the game is all that matters in the end isn't it?

I hope you all understand what's actually important

For those Premium's out there who are to self-centered and refuse to help Freemium's and instead choose to mock them. Stop, don't worry about them, because I'm 99% sure you were just like them when you started. So stop discriminating, because that's all I see these people do. Discrimination is like what happened to the African Americans. And eventually, if you continue. Freemium's arn't going to want to play anymore. And then they'll leave. A new crowd will come in, and the cycle will continue. So instead actually try and help those Freemium's out there instead of mocking them. Working together, Experienced and Inexperienced is the only way for Tf2 to strive. So stop worrying about getting another bud to trade for another unusual, and actually think about what actually matters in the end.

And for those Freemium's who are thinking of quitting do to this discrimination. Just ignore everyone. Practice, and eventually, get better than those people who would discriminate, because if this continues than the Tf2's community is basically doomed.

So I hope everyone will focus on what's important. With Tf2 bieng one of the most populer games on the internet. There will always be people who are going to join in as newbs. And though Inexperienced, in order for Tf2 to grow and to strive, they need to be helped. So now your part in this virtual world and do your best for the community.
