I remember, back in 2019, I first started this game. In 2021, I was told by a guy in a community server that if I deleted my Mercenary Badge he'd give me a really cool weapon as part of a video he was doing. I obliged, and he sent me a Gas Passer, at the time I thought it was such a good idea, and now I can't even hunt the user down because upon learning how bad the item was I used it to craft a pyro token and made the Rainblower lmao

Dir,youve killedd a child

I started playing TF2 recently, but the Mercenary Badge thing is now reminding me of how in Club Penguin, I don't know how long I played it. There was a tab you could open which showed the exact date and time you started playing Club Penguin, like with the Mercenary Badge. I took a few screenshots of my house and puffles before it shutdown but never got round to opening that tab. I know it was roughly 2010ish, but that's still gonna haunt me for years that I never looked at it lol.

My most treasured item in my backpack is The Black Rose knife. I just so happen to have it even though I really didn't play TF2 a lot until a couple years back just because as a kid my brother got me to play TF2 with him once and I was an addict when it came to free to play steam games. So i played both games (dont even remember which game gave you the knife) and when I logged back in I realized I had it. Idk how rare it is and its untradeable, but just the feeling of owning an item that is no longer obtainable or at least very hard to obtain through underhanded means is so cool to me. I dont even play Spy either. It's something, like my medal, that has been in my backpack since the beginning.

Can relate to this. I deleted my badge and gibus hat around 2015 due to not having inventory space. Thankfully steam support has allowed me to get my gibus hat again but the mercenary badge was gone forever.

I started playing tf2 (On my own steam account) around 2010-11ish. I decided in about October of last year to get into trading as it was always something I wanted to do. I started with 1 refined metal working my way up. I had a decent little inventory before this but because almost every item I had I liked to using, I decided to start scrap banking instead of selling those items. I starting with 1 or 2 refined that I had in my backpack. I own several unusuals now and the main items I love to collect are spelled items since I had about 3 or 4 back in the day younger me traded off for practically nothing. I also deleted my Mercenary Badge as a F2P to make room for all those 'cool new item drops.' that and my Gibus, Seal mask, and ALMOST my Vintage Pyro goggles. I believe people who have deleted there badge are in the same group of people who have gone through a lobotomy, they seem to be missing something. Valve really needs to add that deleted item ticket into the game.

Imagine scamming someone so badly he starts being disappointed in humanity

*After he said “and that's just something that can't be deleted” I expected him to say “oh wait” and then Everywhere At The End Of Time begins playing.*

A saving grace I personally can fall back on is the fact that Steam will keep track of your account's purchase history, all the way back to its' first purchase. Somehow or another, as a kid I'd managed to coerce my mother in getting me some unlocks off the Mann Co. Store (obviously stupid in hindsight). To this day I still use my first purchase as a metric for figuring out when I started playing, sure it's not as accurate as the badge itself, there's a 16 day gap between the date on my Steam's "Years of Service" badge compared to my first purchase, but at least it accounts for something.

As someone who has to deal with a similar experience, it makes me wish we could just make the W+M1 pyros real along with Miss Pauling so we could have them melt the people who think it is funny to swipe items and accounts

I was f2p for 2 years and I have destroyed mine gibus and pyro goggles, so when I bought premium, message the support staff and they added me a new one :) Thanks Valve

GOD bless the fact TF2 gives you those backpack extenders on Smissmas, i feel as though a _lot_ of my favorite items would just never have been or would have been wiped instead. Speaking of a few sentimental items i have... - Spiral Sallet. It just looks so _cool_ and i wish it was colorable. Also it's something other than the gibus. - Smissmas Sweater Panic Attack. I swear i genuinely cannot look at a normal Panic Attack without it looking wrong. - Indubitably Green Gibus. And, FINALLY... - The Director's Vision Taunt. It's literally the only F2P taunt possible and i hold it dear to my heart along with all the other items. (There's also a few others, but these are the most relevant to me.)

"Ugh, i hate having a 50 slot only backpack, id rather have weapons instead of this tophat" "I can get more space eventually?"

i deleted my gibus :crying :

My second ever hat drop was a Towering Pillar of Hats. I traded it for a Direct Hit I scrapped like a week later.

once i went to a server and it said "write !items for free items" and it gave me all of the achievements, but i didnt know how many items i would get so i had to free some space, i deleted gibus, goggles and mercenery badge and others just to have all the weapons unlocked

I remember the first day I played TF2 like a few years ago I booted up an official Valve server and got gifted a Dalokohs Bar by a continuously traunting Heavy before the round began and they proceeded to aimbot me through the walls and then I got kicked for “Trying to kill someone” in a game where the point is to kill people. I didn’t play for a while after that, and now I basically just play singleplayer with Bot Overhaul installed because even if they aren’t very nice at least they don’t hack in the casual lobby for fun.

*7:08**: You should have written in the 2010s because at that time, Steam support overvalued all players. Why are the stupid steam supporters ignoring them now? MONEY*

I've since regreted in deleting my mercenary badge, but I'm glad to know that my Steam Badge "Years of Service" also mean the day I first started playing TF2!

god, i fell for the "i accidentally reported your steam account" too, same reasons bro

this is the first video i've seen by this guy, and my first time acknowledging that this guy exists, and i love how he speaks in riddles (kind of). "dookamahickies" "shebang"

I did the exact same thing with it and my gibus. I wrote to steam one day many years later and they actually gave it to me saying that they dont usually do it but they were going to make an exception and felt special. Maybe it has to do with how much money you have spend or maybe the time playing the gsme (i started right after tf2 became f2p) or maybe just the person reading the steam support requests. I would say you should keep trying

Luckily for me, I was given a replacement version of my achievement items back. As soon as they gave me my gibus back I strangified it.

Backstory for your class loadout is realy needed. I love to give any meaning to my loadout without conficting with tf2 lore

I always celebrate my joined date, I stripped all down my cosmetics, taunts, and even stopped using voice commands and chats and wear my badge and gibus, so I can reenact and remember I was back then on HOW FUCKING DIFFICULT TO *voice communication is not available for this account*

Maybe the real mercenary badge was the friends we made along the way

I love my mercenary badge so much. Wear it proudly on all of my classes

I deleted both my first survival and creative minecraft world. After that, I never really cared until I watched a video mentioning deleting your first world as a mistake. After that, I knew there was still no actual reason to mourn it, but it still hurt so much.

i have sufered even worse, 5 years ago... i was a newbie and with no backpack space i deleted my badge, my gibus, my pyrogoogles, and any existent free cosmetic i had, they didnt meant too much in those times, now everytime i see a paint bucket i just want to use it on my gibus, but well, it isnt anymore with me so...

i'll trade you 5 achievements for my mercanary badge

My most prized possession in TF2 is a field tested (I think) civic duty strange kill streak panic attack with a description edit. It’s basically the dictionary example of “there are many like it but this one is mine”

Now this is high quality content m8 Also, who ever did the subtitles *french kiss* perfection

“Like actual people in my personal life, and *not* from the gamer world” Considering I’ve *created* a group of friends, not joined, created a group all the way back in 2019 and we’ve been playing ever since, that hurts man

I started playing in 2011 or 2012. I deleted that merc badge around 2016-ish. I started gravitating towards Overwatch such that TF2 wasn't helping anymore. Combine that with the depression I was going through seriously clouding my judgement and I went on a spree. I sold any item I could sell and deleted anything I couldn't. I even sold my Genuine Alien: Isolation items. I hope they're still out there somewhere, being worn by an Alien enthusiast. I would go on a shorter deletion spree sometime after, but I came to my senses and vowed to never do it again. Valve took mercy on me, and a rep granted me three deleted items of my choosing. I went with the crafting materials for the Headtaker, along with one additional item that I can't actually recall at the moment. I'm thankful for that.

This is so relatable, I remember I deleted my mercenary badge cause at the time I was a F2P and I needed to make space in my inventory for some item drop. Even though I joined in late 2021 I still made so many memories with TF2 even till now, but I look back everyday and still regret deleting that thing

I’m pretty sure one can buy a Gibus hat from external sites.

For me, that badge would be my first (and only) australium - i got it on my very first MvM tour - it was a knife for Spy. i sold it on the steam market, and used the money to buy GTA5 which was on sale at that time. but about 2 years later i realized that i actually sold it for much less than it was worth, nowadays i'd either kept it, or sold it for keys. im still very pissed about it, and remember it everytime i play mvm i was a pretty new player back then, i didnt *really* know about trading yet, i just sold it on the steam market ...

I ended up deleting my Gibus on my original account, and after a while, I started to miss it, despite not wearing it whatsoever, but the support group also denied my request to get it back. Now, I have a new account, starting off fresh with new items, new hats/cosmetics & taunts. I’m actually happy that I have these ‘newbie’ items in my backpack, and in every single one of my classes, my D loadout is always the Gibus, Pyrovision googles, and mercenary badge.

and this is why "the lost and found ticket" should be added, would just be nice to get those back, even after steam stopped letting you get them back

"there has to be at least one item that means the world to you" The spy stock revolver reskin thats named "Hello N(eighbor)" i bought off the steam market:

When I was a kid I remember deleting or scrapping like half of my backpack to try and get some specific scout weapons. I think the one thing I regret getting rid of the most was my fortified compound, which isn't impossible to get back but damn, I wonder why I even did that. And I also remember trading away my frying pan for a Soda Popper cause I really loved the way it looked, only to never use it outside of community servers. This was when you could build hype just by running around so I used it in those places a lot.

I saw a first time play of tf2 on youtube and the guy didnt know what the merc badge was and just straight up deleted it without a second thought

There are only 2 things I regret more than anything in my TF2 career. -Giving my first unusual unbox away for a strange knife of all things (I was young and thought Spy was the best class ever, and I really wanted one) -Gifting my Black Rose to a friend... safe to say we are not friends anymore. I don't even know what he's doing now, he still has it in his inventory with the gift tag on it so Maybe that means something? Idk, could just be to flaunt the worth it has since that method of giving untradable items to others was patched.

going to your steam library main page, and setting the my games shelf to sort by added to library will show you the date you started, even if its not the exact minute. Assuming you got and first played TF2 in the same day

I've also fell for that scam but luckily I got my uncle to message steam support since he's had a steam account for over a decade and I got it back. I do remember in my early days of playing deleting my gibus and my haunted scrap. Till this day I wish I still had the scrap.

Bro, this happened to me twice. The first one being like yours, and the second was that steam thought I stole items, but both accounts had awesome shit. So trust me when I say, I understand.

Funny cosmetics are my favorite. Example? My go-to cosmetics are the gibus, pyrovision goggles, and the mercenary badge, even though I’ve been playing for months now. I just love the nostalgia I have with them.

2:20 hey man, happened to me first time aswell.

i did a same thing, started to play again 2 years ago and sadly saw that my free hats where gone from my f2p time as a child, or i deleted them for space then or they just vanished

Man, I remember. Someone joined a server spamming crates, and my inventory got full and I had to delete stuff. Thats when I thought my gibus got deleted, but years ago when I tried getting it back, steam support said I had crafted it into something.. so I can't get it back lol.

Starts video talking about not wanting to use the liberty launcher, proceeds to use the liberty launcher for like half the footage lol

I hate how some steam support tell you "you cant resotre it"like i know you can dont lie to me does it really cost you anything to give me my gibus back?!?!

Steam actually restores deleted items if you request them politely through a support ticket. I got 5 deleted items out of 9 and thankfully one of them was the mercenary badge. However, the date that is shown is the date when I created my Steam account instead of displaying the date when I started playing TF2 but still, I got it back and that's what matters the most.

Before I found out about the inventory exploit I used to only delete weapons I thought I'd never use.

2:17 I also got a scam message exactly like that in 2019 on a horrible day. Lost over 180 dollars worth of items and steam support didn't give anything back to me even though they do it to others. I lost many valuable items like my first taunt, the square dance that I got from a giveaway from a twitch streamer who's a great friend of mine but the scammer did leave my unique quality weapons behind, that included my ham shank I got from that friend. I still have that ham and use it. Somehow the steam market trade hold saved two of my stranges, at the time knowing that I still had something was great because the day I lost all my items was and still is the worst and most stressful day of my life. Btw, I didn't delete any of my items like the badge, but the game deleted my achievement item force a nature for no reason and steam support didn't give it back even though it's a UNTRADABLE item that has no value :( I've tried to get my stolen items back but I've only been able to get one cosmetic back out of like 30. Most of them have been wiped off of backpack,tf so I can't even find their current owners.

You got to love channels that make custom subtitles.

Bro I almost fell for the "I accidentally reported your steam account" scam a long time ago from a friend who got their account hacked, I backed out at the last second before he got into my account.

I think one of the only one-time items I accidentally deleted was my Achievement Wrangler, which I accidentally destroyed while smelting-away my excess weapons and mindlessly clicked through the 'are you sure' prompt before I realized what I did.

Unfortunately had the same experience here. Middle school me thought it smart to delete my gibbus, badge and pyrovision goggles as I started playing since I needed more space in my backpack and “I was never going to use them anyways”
