The latest update to Team Fortress 2 didn't update any class, but it did add fashionable headwear. Since then hats have been all the rage, and the random drop system has made finding your ideal hat a bit difficult. Some have resorted to external idling programs, which does not please the folks at Valve at all. In a new blog post, Erik Johnson says that over the next few days all players who used external idling applications will have the items obtained that way erased. That applies to weapons as well, of course, but who cares about those next to such awesome hats?
The purge will only impact about 5% of the TF2 community, known as the "dirty cheaters" segment. The rest of the community will be rewarded with a free hat, just to rub salt in the wounds of those who wake up to find their items suddenly missing.
