Tyler got absolutely lost as to what this actually is for

Total misunderstanding on his half, unfortunately.

so your also using promo items like the poker night at the inventory items (which are technically achievment items) will you add other items like the black rose, sharp dresser, fish cake, and quakenburt and other previously unobtainable achievement items?

I understand this is for reinstating items and not gaining new ones you missed out on, but what if you did in fact include the practically inaccessible, or "lost", items along the lines of the Iron Curtain or Black Rose in this ticket? The philosophy behind this approach is radically different, but perhaps it would avoid some potential abuses or incompatibilities if instead the ticket gave you a choice from a list of unmarketable/untradable "legacy items" that you could just pay to obtain, as some live-service style games already do.

Some games have a "memorial" or "rerun" system where after enough, usually years, have passed, limited content from that time period is accessible again. What a waste it is for any live-service game to create content just for it to be quickly lost in the ether. So in a similar sense, it's been long enough since these limited items were available that it could justify doing a "rerun". So achievement items could be chosen, but so could Halloween Spells, promotional items like the Triclops or Boiling Point(?), and certain obscure items that were never intended to become lost and/or expensive. Economy concerns could be measured, but it's very likely that Valve would make way more money in the long run from selling these tickets, even for cheap, than having these very few items in circulation that are usually sold outside of the Steam marketplace anyways. Plus, all of the intended high cost items like unusuals would still exist, which are the majority.

Of course there are more elegant ways of going about this, such as simply bringing back Halloween Spells during next year's Scream Fortress. But as to any questions of possible abuse and incompatibilities with your proposed ticket, much of it would be solved by making it cost real $$$ and just creating a new unmarketable/untradable item. Maybe a bit unfair to ask $2.50 or $5 to get your Ghostly Gibus back, but... it's a nice way to kill two birds with one stone!

And to be clear, the problem is not that they're expensive; it's that promotional items and Halloween Spells were intended to be earned through their respective easy ways, but they were abandoned and are now a sort of contraband, causing their price (or complete inaccessibility). There shouldn't be a limited number of them. Valve should consider doing a "rerun" like a gacha game would. And since they can't bring back most unique unlock requirements, such as when they involve delisted games, this catch-all ticket would be that rerun, for all types of "lost" items.

i like this idea, i have used plenty of my achivment items in recipes because i don't see them as anything special
so getting them back could be good

but honestly, the most credit i can give to anyone is someone who suggests a fix for the crafting system

What about if you use achievement items and promotional items for soul gargoyle?

Actually that gives me an idea, what if any achievement based item could be achieved again and become an untradeable item but for the sacrifice of any three tradeable tf2 hats?

When i make horseman headcutter and deleted then use ticket to give me haunted metal scrap?

I hope I could get back my Proof of Purchase and Seal Mask. What a dumb kid I was to craft those things. Geez...

Does this also work for items that was transmuted?

Wasn't even aware of this mechanic until I looked it up.

For those items I would probably say yes, if you deleted a transmuted item you should get it back.

But again, up to Valve

I think they are talking about items that were used in a transmute not the deleted transmute items

This thing only gives you Items previously taken and then deleted??
Question 2 : ticket gives you another special items like proof of purchase cheaters lament and another special items?

Whenever this might get added, I wonder if this will this work with hats, weapons, and taunts you have deleted before this gets added, like in 2018, will it be able to do that?

Sorry, but are scammed items returned?

please Ferrett. PLEASE! make it possible to get back the contract items.

Don't you fear that Valve could charge us alot for this?

Yes and i dont think that would be fair. But ultimately valve can do what they like :jarate:

Yes they unfortunately can

this would also be helpful if there was a variant for deleted items in general
