News::The importance of being idle: the weird and wonderful world of Team Fortress 2 idle servers

PC Gamer - Valves recent Team Fortress 2 update took a specific shot at a section of the community known as idlers. Idlers play the game to not play it: they join servers and just stand there, hoping to grab an item via the games item drop system. After years of this, Valve have decided you must click on the item to have it deposited in your backpack, meaning that people who have to be at their PC to benefit*. Thats fair enough; Valve really dont want people not playing their game for profit. But I am worried that itll mean that Idle servers become a thing of the past, because they can be amazing maps to visit and even play on.
