Hello,

I created this Workshop submission using Blender and GIMP.
I have created a 3D model and multiple textures to choose from for the model.
I have other drafts for the ticket design and am willing to respond to feedback accordingly.

This is an idea I initially pitched to r/TF2 and received some positive reception for the idea so I have decided to post it the Steam Workshop.

The motivation for the idea is to alleviate a fear of missing out (FOMO) problem in TF2. Many players were quite young when they first made their account. TF2 is quite an old game so many of us were literally children. As a child, you often don't make decisions that work best as you don't know any better.

These 'Achievement Items' and other 1 off account exclusives consume valuable limited player inventory space so a problem that emerged is that, unable to purchase any backpack space, players have chosen to delete these items in order to use a new weapon or for some other reason.

It is my opinion that these trophy items should never have forced players into an ultimatum over backpack space. I have suggested, in the submission, that these items should be of "normal" quality for this reason.

Many players have realised that Steam Support are no longer willing to assist players in recovering deleted or otherwise lost items. Presumably, as stated in the workshop submission, this is because Valve may fear the likelihood of producing economic anomolies. Rare and 1 off items which a bloated in value and awkwardly find contraband status among traders in the economy.

TF2 is an aging game and many of the items we used to have hold legitmate sentimental value. It is my opinion that some sympathy is to be shown.

Any feedback is greatly appreaciated.

Thanks
