You need to have a premium premium account and not have a limited Steam account.

Meaning you must:
1. Have bought something in tf2 (anything)
2. Have spent at least $5 on steam (not necessarily tf2)

It's absolutely ridiculous, I know. Valve thinks this is gonna stop aimbots.

i spent atleast over 100 dollars on dlc and games, or do i have to do both?

[Fluffhead]

So the only way to do it is to spend $5 when I've been a f2p for 5 years?
