This actually does sound like a kind of funny/cute idea. Don’t think it would work for etf2l, but for small pub leagues thats actually pretty cool. Nice work monkeh. :P

Also, give me a shout if you need someone to hold metal. My 2nd account has virtually nothing in the backpack.

Monkeh, fyi coding that would definitely be do-able, but atm its not something that’s possible to do. Someone would need to speak to valve about it.

I doubt Valve would want it to happen tbh, I mean if it does become possible then orgs like etf2l could start hoarding metal, churning out hats and selling them for cheaper than the Mann Co. store, ruining all of their hard work.

Just to note as well, I’m not claiming the idea for my own, it was a group idea, YAY for communities!

Doubtfull :P

With your model you have no control over what you have in stock (when you craft a hat you don’t have control over which specific hat you get). You’re also relying on people keeping you supplied with enough metal to pull that off (9 scrap metal for a hat, 12 for a class specific hat).

And even if you would be able to sustain a large enough supply of metal you’d be still be going against a store which has a much bigger audience than your own.

Not that any of this matters because you’d still have to buy a whole bunch of back pack upgrades to be able to store all that metal/hats.

Quoted from Tikcus

not a terrible idea, but how about use the metal as a deposit

each team pays six scrap (12 random weapon drops) as an entrance fee, but gets it returned if they complete the season without dropping – if they drop it gets added to a prize pool (maybe awarded at random to any team that finishes the league without any default losses)

Best idea.
