Team Fortress 2
Should VALVe Hardware Ban the Owners of Community Achievement Servers?
Such servers were here for a long time, and some of them mislead people, and because of that they regret all their TF2 achievements being unlocked later on.

The servers in question fib to everyone about the command you have to write in text chat in order to get Y, instead, you get all the achievements complete.

That is upsetting for manny TF2 players in the future, search the SCUD.
VALVe should do a better job and fix the issue so their newcomers are never potentially sad about it.


Not to mention achievements aren't useless in TF2, some of them give you items so it is ensured you have an advantage over other certain players.

This is obviously not intended, and I persynally subjectively think it should be a VAC bannable offense, but different opinions are always welcome!

Should VALVe hardware ban the folx who host malicious achievement servers?

Yes
Achievement servers are a nothingburger nowadays, considering that you can achieve the same result with Steam Achievement Manager (or literally any server with a few helpers). They were worse when you could idle for items efficiently.
Besides, the infamous achievement_idle has blessed us with several interesting maps. This one is one of my favourites:

Yes! Achievement hackers in every steam game must be banned. Especially in TF2 because achievements give you advantage over fair players

It's more about people who were misleaded.
SAM and achievements servers should be b& all together!

Yes, but only if achievements in question could give you advantage in multiplayer games.

Nothing misleading about them. The "free VIP" servers do be misleading though, and often an "achievement_idle" variant as well. Gotta take those into focus specifically.
In fact, achievement_egypt is one of my oldest memories regarding TF2. I had no clue what was going on, but there was all that stuff, and bosses kept spawning (which I didn't get why either). Exploring this place was magical. I didn't feel mislead, I was just confused.

Also, maybe a little less circlejerking from the same people. You gotta disagree on some things if you want do look believable instead of looking like yes-entities.

I meant this kind of stuff, yes.

Some achievements maps are indeed spectacular.

If they did, then they should also put in the effort to fix the replay achievements, as otherwise there would be no way to get the Frontline Field Recorder, which while not the best hat ever, is still pretty good by F2P standards.

Check my profile description, it's relevant to what you say here.
