I'm mentoring a F2P player. True story.

meh, might as well join this little group.

Joining this group for the lols. Seriously, though, I have no problem whatsoever with new players and F2P players. I'll help new players to the game. It's when you start hearing "How do you switch classes" or "how do i build fortress" (lol), that I start having a problem. Seriously guys? You can't read the wiki or do the training? I realize that we were all noobs at one point, but I actually went through the training and I had an idea of how the game worked when I first joined a server.

Sorry for my rant. I'm just fed up with people calling us "elitists" because we don't feel like sympathizing with or helping people who are too lazy to type "team fortress 2 wiki" into Google and press the Enter button.

I was just kidding, I love this group.

fear me and my 0.6 steam rating :3

Quite immature, even for you Bean.

I am not being elitist, I wish that TF2 could be saved from those 10 year old CoD idiots.

Grow up. The game hasn't changed, just more people get to enjoy it. Stop being elitist simply because you have what's now known as a "premium account".

Here is a thread I made that tells of some of the things FTP players have done.

Some of the things on this list made me want to become an hero when I saw it happen in game...

I already met 3 kids asking what's the prone key, lol.

Blatant noobs, easy to spot. Just use your best judgement and intuition.
:)

so wait.. how the hell do we determine if players are free-players or not

I made a free player rage quit today. Makes me feel good inside.

then voteban them HAHAHAHAHAHA

When a suspected free player walks up to your dispenser, pick it up until they go away.

Well, you can't really control who you heal via dispenser.
Medigun, I'd oblige to do so though. (Anyone wearing a Proof of Purchase hat)
