DON'T ♥♥♥♥♥ ABOUT NOT RECIEVING A METAL!!!!
Originally posted by Hydrogen:
Actually, despite the announcements and the clickbait thread I made we still get asked this question like at least 5 times a day. Not necessarily on the steam group, but on the group chat, our profile pages, and other places (some even bother people who aren't even in charge of the medals). Given that clickbait thread I put on this very forum also didn't help, I don't think this thread is going to stop the flood of requests either, unfortunately.

The reason why Valve has a cap on medals is in case the medal distribution program glitches out and sends a million requests to the item server, in which case it will reject most of them. The limit also prevents someone from abusing the item server to flood a player's backpack with 500+ medals, thus completely griefing them with a nearly-full inventory they have to now clean up.

The fact is most TF2 community events don't hit 1000 medals so they don't have to worry about this. Titanium Tank is one of the first few (if not the only) community TF2 events that has medal distribution going into the thousands. It's quite frankly an unusual case; even Valve was a bit surprised when I asked that the new limit be set to 5000 (but they agreed to do it).

Also Luke, you linked to this thread in like 3 threads that were made > 5 days prior to this. It's not necessary to post this everywhere. Just leave it alone, hopefully the TF2 patch comes soon.


I wanted to spread it to these f2ps who think it's okay to whine about it as if it'll pass the time quicker.
