we will not be silenced. #unmutef2ps

[76561199709261517]

i want to call for medic, i want to talk in chat.
this game was so fun back in the day, so nostalgic and everybody agree's on that. a rising topic in this community is unsilencing f2p's, and i agree. being a f2p myself, i see this game as fun and rather exilerating and here i am about four years later on a new computer reinstalling the game, and seeing the current state. i get that the bot problem was why they were muted but it was fixed two years ago. and i fear that soon the games popularity will plummet and so just like valve does with any failing game, it shuts down.
and honestly if i had to choose between the bot problem and f2ps being muted i'd choose bots.
f2ps cant call for medic, cant tell warn eachother for spies, cant make friends in chat easily and more importantly...
made fun of relentlessly. i'm lucky enough to not have been ridiculed aside from being called broke or poor a couple times, but other fellow f2ps are living it hard. i've had about four irl friends stop playing the game because of this.
so please valve, we dont want to have yearly protests for you to fix the game but...
please unmute f2p's and the game will be back to it's former glory.

communication is a big part of multiplayer games, and removing that feature unless people pay is stupid.

L take honestly.
people took more attention to the bot crisis. the people they viewed the F2P mute as a blunder, not the overall issue.

first, Advanced Options > MEDIC: Injured teammates automatically call out
(should be default to true but the option exists)

On the point about friends, while i think that removing the mute WOULD help, but you would need to usually need to find the same person multiple times. Casual doesn't make that easy, at least I think.

I feel as if this is hyperbole. you still have a bunch of other issues that TF2 didn't have before that could be fixed and "returned to its former glory".

I dont disagree with unmuting F2Ps i just have a few nitpicks.

If you can afford to play computer games you can afford 5 bucks on steam. Weak points farm try again.

Solution: give Valve more money

[shibe]

f2ps should have a limited online playtime of 1 hour a day, then they could play against bots until it refreshes

[Humpy Dumpy]

$5 is not very much money.

But No one Uses callouts Properly... They are most Commonly used By friendly Griefers to Spam and Clog up chat... That is a Bad Argument...

Yes its terrible in-game now. Chats now flooded with A posing scouts mashing the key bound to calling a medic
