Should F2P Players Get More Backpack Space?  

I was a crate hog who had to sacrifice my winter 2022 case collection for my gibus and other important stuff.

The idea of making special hats earned through achievements non delete able and not take up space would fix the loss of those special items

my heart still goes out to players who craft a haunted headgear each year. 💀💀

Would be nice if you could earn inventory space by playing the game Like an achievement if you earn 50 weapons it'll give you another page

Me: that’s a good idea Valve: Hello! I like money.

They should also give back free chat and call vote If i get a coin for every time I see a cheater but can't kick him or tell people about it i would be a millionaire by now

I scrapped my gibus but luckily a few years down the line I had the idea to contact support and they actually restored it for me

Each and every inventory should have at the very least, enough backpack space to have one of each weapon, + 3 extra backpacks, for plenty of room for cosmetics and utility items like spell magazines or contrackers.

If they wait a year the smissmiss update is guaranteed to have a backpack expander

A really simple way to fix the problem is to give f2ps the ability to craft backpack expanders. It should cost a good deal to not undermine the value of buying them, but being able to carry more items without having to spend a dollar would be very valuable

I think the real problem is that there is even a limit to what you can hold. They should just remove it or increase it by a lot so unless you are buying 10k jerate you shouldn't runout of space

I know this idea I have probably isn't in Value's best interest, but I think Players starting out should have enough space to have 1 of every weapon they can get (Not including promotional items) and maybe 1 extra page as well for when Halloween or Christmas comes around for some more stuff

New idea, you can retrieve items that you're deleted in the past if you send a report to steam about "accidentally" delete the item with a reason of still new to the game when you delete the items

The biggest achievement items i lost are ones that are cross promotional and directors taunt, i use to hunt achievement for hats it still hurts alot and wonder why i did that.

Give them the bare minimum for all achievement items and unlockables

I deleted my haunted scrap, and my mercenary badge

I would've loved for a second page of stuff. I ended up Deleting my Gibus and Haunted Scrap Metal because of it.

Achievement items shouldn't count for inventory space. There should be an extra space for every achievement item in the game, including the ones you can't get anymore.

The only reason I can hold more stuff is because I got an item that increases your inventory space during Christmas.

Oh absolutely! Everyone deserves to have the opportunity to play with any specific weapon they want

I don't even remember how but I pretty much had the upgrade to premium the moment I got TF2 so I never knew this was actually something people have to do deal with until I played on an alt account

you can still get gift stockings every christmas, and they have 1 backpack expander that you can use

Make a separate page for achievement items.

I miss my haunted scrap metal and gibus.

Honestly. Why don't crates and cases stack? It would be far less annoying if they did. And Honestly achievement items shouldn't count toward spaces lost.

Yes because people can lose a lot of achievement items because they deleted it for backpack space when they were new.

YES PLEASE I NEED MORE SPACE FOR MY BACKPACK FOR FUCK$ SAKE

I've been on that side before and man, it sucks so much. I haven't destroyed some exclusive cosmetics (thankfully), but it sucks deleting a good weapon just for a new weapon that may or may not be absolutely dreadful like a pomson.

I only deleted my mercenary badge back when I was a F2P, but that doesn't change the fact that it still sucks I deleted mine. Maybe I'm gonna try to contact support some day but I heard they don't give your deleted items back anymore.

I say you should always have the default version of a weapon or cosmetic once you get one, unlocking it if you will. Meanwhile, the specific one in your inventory is unique. So stuff like paints or unusuals take up inventory space while standard versions don't.

I think all pages and slots should be free from the start I miss you haunted scrap metal...

you could possibly have achievement items and specialty badges in their own special backpack place like where the default weapons are.

Deleted my 2013 merc badge and my Monoculus because of that.

Yes, I scrapped my Haunted Metal Scrap and my spellbook pages when I was F2P and I regret scrapping the scrap because I adore the horseless headless horsemann's headtaker, one of my favorite reskins and I wish I didn't scrap mine

Maybe make things stack? Like, non strange or unusual duplicate items, metal, crates that haven't been opened, etc

The sock you get during Christmas gives you a backpack expander

I will forever miss my gibus, pyrovision and haunted metal scrap

Its sad that when i was an f2p i was ran out of storage so i deleted my Ghostly Gibus and other achievement items 😢

I just think a simple ui change is needed to make them aware of achievement items being unsalvagable after deletion through a pop up when they try getting rid of them

Achievement items should act like stock items and take no backpack space at all.

I’ve deleted enough crates to where I’n terrified I’ve deleted a unique…😅😢

As someone who has access to the larger inventory and voice chat in game because I bought stuff. I think forcing free to play players to be mute and restricted to such a small inventory is dumb and makes the game in general worse. Because now some of your teammates can't make call outs, and some may even have to focus on only playing one character because they only have the space for loadouts for one or two characters.

I HAD TO DELETE MY GIBUS AND PYROVISION to make backpack space for more weapons , sad 😭, I was new , I didn't know that gibus is UNIQUE to you and the one which you get can NEVER be gained again after deletion !! 😢

Never again will I see MY Pyrovision goggles grace my backpack, and if I want to fill the hole, l’ll have to buy them from others.. I was such a fool back then.

I deleted my Black Rose because I got a Tipped Lil from drop and I was like "OMG OMG HAT", I am still regretting that...

I am still so mad about this because not only did i delete that strange scrap you need for the headless horseless horsemann's headtaker but also a bunch of achievement hats and it makes my blood boil to this day

Man i remember when i just played the game with no space left idk why my deadass thought deleting the only brick can could frickin made the Headless Horseman axe would be a good idea 💀

I remember deleting my haunted scrap as a f2p and years later, i wondered why I didn't get haunted scrap from the halloween achievements and then realized i was an idiot as a f2p

Yes please expand the damn inventory especially now that it is spooky month there's a bunch of free items we can get but they can't all be held

Man the game should not even have backpack space limit

I don’t even think there should be inventory space, but at bare minimum, I think there should be enough space for every free to play to be able to get one of every weapon and every achievement item without deleting anything.

there is 0 reasson why f2p should have limited backpack space

I saw an UNUSUAL HEADLESS HORSELESS HORSEMAN HAT in my delete history WHAT WAS I THINKING

I don’t even remember getting my ghastly gibus

Hitting the 50 item cap is what forced me to spend $5

Inventory limits suck. CSGO doesn't have them because of the storage unit system, created out of neccessity. Why can't Valve implement the same thing in TF2?

There is Smissmass and gives you a backpack expander, once a year...

I don’t now how, but I got 5 backpacks on 2021 Swissmas for free.

i lost my haunted metal cuz of bad backpack space when was f2p,that stuff still haunts me

They are just waiting for you to get premium so you can get more space basically 5$ for backpack space and other features seems like a easy way to make money😒valve should do something or fix things

i once deleted limited halloween items, like the seal mask and gibus for saving space

As a non-F2P, I've completely neglected the fact I can buy a backpack extender. 💀

I delete my Unfilled Fancy Spellbook back then... now i have like 20 pages and nowhere to flex them

i deleted my gibus, pyrovision goggles, AND my mercenary badge for space when i was younger. luckily i have an alt that ive owned for longer than my current account so theyre on there with a way earlier date to them which is cool i guess

i deleted my mercenary badge for the damn panic attack

I deleted my ghastly gibus like a decade ago.. I miss it every day now.

Bro forgot about the backpack extender in swissmess

I was 12 when I crafted my HHHHeadtaker into scrap metal, not because I didn't have the inventory space... but because it didn't seem all that special to me; i preferred the funny Nessie's Nine Iron golf club. I regret it to this day and pray one day I stumble upon a dupe glitch or a new way to gift players achievement items so I can gift myself the Haunted Scrap Metal from a second account

I always kept my ghostly gibus no matter what and even painted it australium gold specifically so i never deleted it

As a former f2p I regret deleting my monoculus hat to make room for other garbage hats

As a former F2P who deleted: - My Merc Badge - My Ghastly Gibus - A Salvaged Crate - Haunted Scrap Metal - Among other things I do not remember. All just to have more space for things I actually would use (weapons) Yes, I think F2Ps should have atleast like 3 pages or so. Hell, just let them have a normal backpack, just lock the "Premium" crafting recipes and drops behind being Premium.

I deleted the achievement taunt before I saw a video telling me to not to delete the items This video brings back the pain

As a free to play I agree with this. I didn't even know some items you can only get once. Also how do I get somthing called the red tape recorder

I remember deleting all of demoknight shields just because I got the force of nature and wrap assassin(I'm a scout main)

Guys, any ideas what to do with all seasonal chests if I'm not gonna pay for the keys?

I deleted my monoculous hat and my gibus, and i never recovered from it...

Yeah.. i got rid of my mercenary badge for some space. It probably didn't help that i played for 200+ hours before no longer being f2p

was gifted a backpack expander in a hacking server on my alt, its now my main

Honestly I do. I deleted my cloak and dagger(or scrapped it) and I completely regret doing that. I completely stopped playing spy because I scrapped it.

tfw community: value I thing this change should happen Valve: nah here’s a cosmetic and warpaint crate

I had deleted my Ghastly Gibus and Haunted Metal Scrap before because I was F2P. I asked Steam Support for it back and they did honor my request. However I got the Ghastlier Gibus instead of the Ghastly Gibus.

yes and they should be able to speak stuff like calling for medic

I still miss my merc badge all these years later. Still have my gibus tho!

I started playing tf2 not too long ago. Im not deleting my achievement items when i have like 27 winter 2023 cosmetic crates

goodbye my haunted metal scrap

Me back in 2015 deleting my Black Rose knife not knowing what I know now😢

They should give us our gibus' back too

I totally dident accidentally deleted my director's vision and spell book to get more space 😅

I deleted my gibus for space some years ago,one of the biggest mistake I have done in videogames

I realised this the hard way.

As a F2P player, we need to get more backpack space

I mean it’s one dollar for 150 space, but I get what your coming from

i deleted my eyelander and pretty boys pocket pistol and even more items until i got a inventory gift during smissmass

The fact that there is a limit in the first place is bizarre to me

I'm a F2P and I'm pretty sure I got some backpack extensions from the Christmas events.

i did the most heinous crime of tf2, i deleted my mercenary badge because i was new to the game D:

I didn't delete mine, I put my spiral sallet, the youtube achievement hat and an elite grade that I actually unboxed myself into a god damn Halloween trade up

in 2000 hours of tf2 i've gotten a backpack expander drop once. every other time i had to trade for or buy one.

I have never scrapped anything while i was f2p

Looks like another petition to sign
