Just oldies and old times

For 7 years i lingered on tf2 telling ♥♥♥♥♥♥ memes and bashing hackers for using ♥♥♥♥♥♥ software such as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, constantly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ plebians who thought it was funny constantly put lenny faces in chat. Survived the most retarded arguemental eras that ACG had to go through, Admin was never revoked, Made maps, friends and most of all i reclaimed my honor as a useless heavy sitting in the corner on towertop trying to figure out how to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bind after coming back from a long brake. Ever since mannconomy i new this game was declining, but not in a way of which you may think. While yes Valve is a company that needs money to make quality titles, Valve indeed and unoticably didn"t realize that by adding microtransactions to a game, the core mechanics of the game and the teamwork aspect of the game is altered. Not by massive margins but i would believe the science of microtransactions leading to synapsl impulse buying is a bad mix, which of course is really good for valve. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible finacially for players. I still find tf2 to be fun, but i must end my item attachment. Which is why im selling everything and leaving the item market for good, I do believe its also the time to give up power to become a pubber again. Though i will still play the game from time to time, i must tend to other important values in life. I hope i have taught you all valuable lessons, you"ve all certainly helped me grasp things. I honestly can i say i feel like Bilbo on his 111th birthday, Im old when it comes to tf2, i still have issues resisting the temptation to build a tele in 2fort to get outside the courtyard to troll spys, I often hang on the support beams in the courtyard stairwell and on the lights in the intelligence rooms. (because birds do that shet.) I"ve watched many of you grow. Some people lest forget me, but i will never forget them. Game communities are like schools some times, you learn some and their always your family when times are hard. Managing servers daily isn"t so bad, but i believe i am not long for the community, even though im practically the oldest member that still plays there. Even Bilbo and Frodo had to seek the Grey Havens. I believe now, I must do the same.

Farewell, and let your roads go forever on.
