Team Fortress 2 To Add Crafting System Soon?

How often have you wanted your fast-paced online shooters to include some aspect from MMOs, such as epic mounts, complicated hotbars for all your skills, or monthly subscription fees? Well, none of those things are coming to Team Fortress 2…yet. Instead, it seems like Valve is testing the waters by adding crafting to the game. Yes, crafting.

In case you think I’m making this up, let me assure you I’m not that imaginative. Here, I’ll let Valve explain it.

Introducing Team Fortress 2’s new Crafting system. Say goodbye to those enjoyable evenings spent complaining on the forums about which item in your inventory was the most useless, spraying anti-Australian racist hate speech all over Robin Walker, his lovely wife, and his beautiful children. EVERYTHING in your inventory now contributes towards something you actually WANT, and can build YOURSELF! If you’re super clever, you’ll even be able to craft new items before others can earn them the old fashioned way.

Bear hide gathering, forlorn LFG’s in the chat text, and gold farming can’t be far behind.
