'What is Escrow?', After a trade has been accepted by both parties, if either party's account has not been secured by the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator, then to protect against unauthorized trades, the traded items will be placed in escrow. During the escrow period, the items will not be available to either user. This allows users who have not secured their accounts to cancel any unauthorized trades and recover their items. Canceling all pending and in-escrow trades will place a trading hold on your account for a few days to prevent any further unauthorized attempts to trade away items.

Thanks for giving me some information. Now, I know I am definitely in support for escrow.

It depends.
A guy named Minimap, with a ball covered in green slime avatar trolled me one time.
Then, he added me on my alt account (Ketchdown) a few months later - I couldn't really accept that because of the fact account isn't mine.
IS THAT YOU?!

I'm not saying TF2 should die.

There's something called having a life. Life is not revolved around a video game. Do something productive rather than wait for a hat!
If that dosen't suit you, then you can play on regular capture the flag maps, or arena maps, or jailbreak. Anything!

Also, scrap.tf, csgo lounge, and sfstimulator are a bunch of monopolies. I tried purchasing stuff from those sites and could not because I was a marked scammer. I did NOTHING but give people bad offers for valuable items when I was new to tf2.

We do not need an economy anyways. Milleniums ago, economies rose because someone plainly wanted something in exchange for another person's actions. Human greed leads to economies. We can just all be friendly rather than jerks.

I did once have a green slime avatar. But I have done trolling in the past :D.
As for specifics regarding adding you, I am not certain.

Well, by adding Escrow, TF2 will die out, cause most of us are traders and we don't have lives.
And not all of us are paying money for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ phone just to trade, and i'm not a social ♥♥♥♥, so i don't have use of a phone at all, and i'm not paying for one just to trade, like i said before.

Why don't you care about the others in the TF2 community? That'd be nice.

So TF2 is going to die because a virtual economy will be slowed down?
If you ask me, the game will be better off without people who only trade anyway.

Short answer: crap

Long answer: saying "screw you poor people who can't afford a smartphone and dropping a f-bomb onto the trading economy and screwing backpack.tf, scrap.tf and many other sites that players rely on for trading, oh and screw bots and the trading economy too"

Well, I've said hello to you, like there, above. And then you've added me and I said I can't 'cause it's not my account.

Same ♥♥♥♥ really, phone or tablets or ipads, i'm not paying for one just to trade, that's just stupid.

In America, there is something called an Obama Phone. For those in America, get one. That reduces the percentage.

Sadly, here in Sweden, we don't have such things, but at the same time, i'm glad i'm not in America.

Hey, I wasn't saying I have an Obama Phone (I don't). Just an idea. Besides, why not verify the stuff with a second email.

Sigh, their always trying to force stuff down our throats.

Forcing stuff down our throats? how about eggplants?
