I haven't been happy about TF2 since they added hats and bullshit. I don't want progress or lootbox bullshit. I just want to fire up the game and be on even footing with everybody.
That said, good for the folks who enjoy that stuff. It's always been a pretty fun game. Played it off and on for probably close to a decade. Maybe I'll fire it up again and wander around trying to figure out what they've done with all the maps I actually know.

So since 2009? You haven't been happy with TF2 for over 15 years.
That sounds about right. I don't think I've picked it up in close to ten years. Not much before that since hats. But there was a time I lived on that game.
ETA: I didn't realize it was such a brief span of time. 2007-2009, but I played almost every day, so I guess it felt like forever. I picked it back up every now and again with longer times between and briefer stints playing each time.
Still have a soft spot for the game, I just don't like lootbox gear. I'd rather look at team comps and pick a class having a good idea what I'm in for based on the map and the mix of classes on both sides. Having gear that makes e.g. snipers better vs. scouts screws with that.
I don't remember all the exact details, but I go back to my original point: I prefer to play when everyone is on the same ground other than skill and experience.
Flat out have never played them. It's like this: if a game doles stuff out to give you a chance to learn new systems or tactics that doesn't bother me. That's normally a single player thing.
In multiplayer I don't like unlocks. And I've always avoided games that seemed like that's what they did. I was really upset about the Star Wars BF game a few years ago. So wanted to play that but I'm not going to put several dozens of hours into a game in order to just play what I want to play.
You should look into TF2 Classic
I had no idea this was a thing. I'm 100% going to look into this!

You still are? The hats are cosmetic, they don't do anything.
If you really don't like them, there's a mod you can install that removes everyone's hats and cosmetics.
The cosmetics aren't the problem. It's the stuff that actually changes stats/abilities.
None of the new weapons are objectively better then stock, they're all sidegrades (except for maybe the crusader's crossbow for medic because the stock syringe gun sucks)
