Playing for what seems to have been years and still haven't been able to craft anything except metals.... :3 What a waste of 30 hrs/week

It's only a waste of time if that's the only reason you are playing. Which would be silly. I game to game.

Though I do happen to craft a lot. 20x refined metals since 12/17. Or 540 item drops.

But again, that's not why I play TF2, that's just silly icing on the cake.

Well I got back into tf2 because I was looking for a game that I could play with a somewhat competitive nature yet not want to throw a brick at my monitor when I died. I didn't even find out about the crafting and finding items until a few days back into the game. I love tf2 just for the game itself, but I'd like to be able to utilize the crafting feature with the items as well. I'm just finding it very difficult to enjoy this aspect of the game because I find minimal amounts of items to craft with.

Well if there was an abundance of craftable items, we wouldn't need to craft for very long, would we? Everyone would have made all the hats the first day and just continued discarding all the drops.

Heck, I would even be for making drops more rare... Give people another reason to keep playing.

Point is I've seen people with not much more play time than me, and they already have like 4 hats and I don't even have enough material to make 1. I'm not asking to make it easy (like COD4 unlocks), but if I have to play for 6-8 months (20-30) hours a week to get enough items to craft one hat, what's the point?
