I keep having to repeat myself. The fact that you have to play, and actually perform well, doesn't automatically make the economy strong. With a wider circulation of currency you allow more people to be able to participate in it. The fact that you don't have to do squat to get items in Team Fortress 2 is better in regards to strengthening the trading system. Also, I fail to see how XP Boost packs will do anything to help. If there really is a viable trading economy, then XP Boosters will unbalance it for those who use them, or the items will be worthless enough that it doesn't really matter. The only exception I see to this is unusuals. And while unusuals make up the most expensive aspect of TF2 trading, if you look at the stats then unusuals are actually only a tiny portion of commerce compared to hats, paints, weapons, and every other item. Would you mind explaining that cancer comment?

If you really want to form an opinion maybe you should get more informed. All your arguments are based on misguided assumptions. You have to play yes but you can lose etc and your chance of getting item is not reduced. Do you by any chance read what I post?

There’s also a chance that an item will drop at the end of a match as well

So you don't have to win to get items. Only play. Simple and efficient and weeds out the farmers/idlers who don't play/contribute at all and just leech the system. That's the cancer I was referring to. In tf2 the game itself has taken a back seat while idlers/traders form the majority. By doing this in Dota 2 both components are balanced.

Regarding on your point that people wont get enough items, that's why there is trading. You trade what you have for what you want and not just hoard stuff like in TF2.

And XP boosters are not selfish. They give 75% to user and 15% to rest 9 players stackable. So everyone gains. I would love to write more but my match has started. Time to kick some ass.
