Let me just say i love TF2 and the community. I bought the game back in 2007 and have been playing consistently for almost 17 years. It is so disappointing to see valve not care about fixing the bot crisis in the game – they rubbed salt in the wounds 2 years ago during the previous save TF2 movement by saying they recognise the issue and are working on it – then crickets…. Nothing, nada – a big donkey punch to the back of the head – they will happily take our money and rely almost exclusively on the community for new maps and cosmetics yet treat the player base with contempt

It is such a shame what the game has become and causal mode is often unplayable. More recently I became aware of the mammoth idle bot numbers that over-inflate the player base and market which drive up the prices on keys. I mean how on earth can someone create a personal vac server that is not accessible on the community server list, fill it with idle bots they own to earn loot drops which they then package up and sell on market places.

I watched Uncle Danes latest video which mad me mad at valve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82B38TaawfE

Then this TF2 video on idle bot crisis made me more mad and sad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuxHZm73PU

I really hope I’ll be able to play this game with my son, but maybe that’s just a pipe dream. Please sell the game Gabe to a developer company that will actually do something about the problem if you dont have the spine to do anything

Whilst the game is free to play, there is a heavy amount of in game monetisation and the mechanics that use to exist to be able to invest time for reward are slowly being taken away from the game which is very disappointing. Basically the goal posts keep getting shifted and also getting smaller.

Most random games played include a CV which i believe ruins the game as they can easily sway a match too much. The CV counters are not balanced and i recall reading that matches were not meant to have more than 1 CV per side.... in T6 especially you very often get 2 CVs per side. Whilst im not a fan of submarines either (as a strong submarine player is very difficult to counter) CVs are the worst. If they provided an option to play with or without CVs it would sway me to start playing again.

Furthermore the 1,403 hours i've spent grinding to achieve in game currency (free xp) to use for buying some ships, they have recently removed the ships to purchase with this currency and now the free xp currency is basically worthless. The game only had a few ships to buy using the free XP currency, so not only was there a very small amount, but they now took that small amount away! (Obviously would prefer you to invest $$ into dubloons and purchase from the large range of ships)

I think the company made a big mistake removing the forum from a dedicated website into a discord page which now appears to be heavily censored, it only adds to their own agenda and further magnifies that about the lack of public feedback that is taken into account in regards to the future updates to the game.

Don't get me started on the anime / weeb influence - they keep pushing this, i have no idea how or why they think this relates to a "semi-accurate war historically influenced game"
