The '''Mann-Conomy Update''' is a [[Patches#Major updates|major content]] release for ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', released on [[September 30, 2010 Patch|September 30, 2010]]. In total the update added 65 new items, including [[Contribution page#First contribution update|community-contributed]] content from the [[Polycount Pack]] contest. The update also introduced the [[Mann Co. Store]], the [[Steam Wallet]] {{w|microtransaction}} system, and [[Trading|item trading]]. On a side note, clicking the "Mann Co." sign on top of the tower on the front page of the update brings you to a hidden page with a picture of the entire building and its surroundings. Clicking on the gorilla at the bottom of the page will bring you to a picture of the gorilla with a frame around it, and hovering your mouse over the gorilla will cause it to wink.

{{main|Mann Co. Store}}
 
−
"The '''Mann Co. Store''' is an in-game micro-transaction service included in the [[Mann-Conomy Update]]. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as [[hats]], [[weapons]], and [[action items]] using money stored in their [[Steam Wallet]]. The store does not promote 'pay-to-win' gameplay: There are crafting blueprints and random drops available for any non-cosmetic item.  Creators of [[Contribution page|community contributed items]] receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created."
 
−
It is not possible to exploit the shop by buying cheap items and melting them to make more expensive ones because all items bought through the store cannot be crafted or traded.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Trading ===
 
−
{{main|Trading}}
 
−
"Trading is an in-game system allowing players to swap weapons, hats and misc items allowing players to obtain items that they desire. Some items, such as the Gentle Manne's Service Medal, the Golden Wrench  and store-bought items and items given through gifts are 'untradable', meaning that they must remain on the original account that obtained them. Surprisingly, Bill's Hat, the Lumbricus Lid and the Alien Swarm Parasite can be traded.
 
−
 
 
−
As of now, it is possible to trade with players on a players friends list and with other players in their current server.
 
  
−
If one player has another player's Steam Community ID, then there is also an option to trade directly with that player. This makes it easy to trade with someone who isn't in the same server that you are.
+
{{Quotation|'''TF2 Official Blog'''|Then it hit us: it'd make everybody happy if we really DID let players buy items directly. Players'd be happy because we actually listened to them for once, and the bean counters would be happy because in-game stores are the future of everything, including making some f$*&ing money already.}}
  
−
However, although it might seem obvious, both trade "partners" must be playing Team Fortress 2 if they wish to trade. It should also be noted that purchased items are not currently tradeable."

 +
 
 +
As the update was introduced, all of the items which were previously obtained became "Vintage Items". Their name is now rendered blue, and the "Vintage" prefix was added to their name. According to Valve, "some items that used to be rare will become more common when they are available for purchase. (...) This way, those older rare items remain rare (in fact, they're even rarer, because they're limited editions now)."
 +
 
 +
Some exceptions were promotional items, including but not limited to the [[Cheater's Lament]], [[Alien Swarm Parasite]], [[Lumbricus Lid]], [[Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask]], [[Bill's Hat]], [[Ghastly Gibus]], [[Earbuds]], and [[Big Kill]], as well as all the medals and craft materials.
 +
 
 +
=== Unusual quality ===
 +
{{main|Unusual|l1=Unusual items}}
 +
 
 +
Unusual cosmetics are cosmetics that have special [[particle effects]] about them. The only way to obtain an Unusual cosmetic is by unlocking a [[Mann Co. Supply Crate]] with a [[Mann Co. Supply Crate Key]], or by trading for one. The different particle effects are viewable [[Unusual|here]].
 +
 
 +
== New methods to obtain items ==
 +
=== Trading ===
 +
{{main|Trading}}
 +
 
 +
Trading is an in-game system allowing players to swap weapons and cosmetic items, allowing players to obtain items that they desire. Some items, such as the [[Golden Wrench]], are untradable, meaning that they must remain on the original account that obtained them.
 +
 
 +
As of now, it is possible to trade with players on a player's friends list, with other players in their current server, and through either player's Steam Community ID.
 +
 
 +
=== Store ===
 +
{{main|Mann Co. Store}}
 +
 
 +
The Mann Co. Store is an in-game micro-transaction service. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as Cosmetic items, [[weapons]], and [[action items]] using money stored in their [[Steam Wallet]]. Creators of [[Steam Workshop|community-contributed items]] receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created.
 +
 
 +
All cosmetics or weapons bought through the store could not be crafted or traded, though they were [[Gift Wrap|giftable]]. [[Tools]] and [[action items]] bought through the store could be traded (after 2 days) and gifted. As of the [[Manniversary Update & Sale|Manniversary Update]], all items bought from the store can be traded after a waiting period of 2-3 days, but still cannot used in crafting.

“
Then it hit us: it'd make everybody happy if we really DID let players buy items directly. Players'd be happy because we actually listened to them for once, and the bean counters would be happy because in-game stores are the future of everything, including making some f$*&ing money already.

Qualities

Main article: Quality

Vintage quality

Main article: Vintage items

As the update was introduced, all of the items which were previously obtained became "Vintage Items". Their name is now rendered blue, and the "Vintage" prefix was added to their name. According to Valve, "some items that used to be rare will become more common when they are available for purchase. (...) This way, those older rare items remain rare (in fact, they're even rarer, because they're limited editions now)."

Some exceptions were promotional items, including but not limited to the Cheater's Lament, Alien Swarm Parasite, Lumbricus Lid, Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask, Bill's Hat, Ghastly Gibus, Earbuds, and Big Kill, as well as all the medals and craft materials.

Unusual quality

Main article: Unusual items

Unusual cosmetics are cosmetics that have special particle effects about them. The only way to obtain an Unusual cosmetic is by unlocking a Mann Co. Supply Crate with a Mann Co. Supply Crate Key, or by trading for one. The different particle effects are viewable here.

New methods to obtain items

Trading

Main article: Trading

Trading is an in-game system allowing players to swap weapons and cosmetic items, allowing players to obtain items that they desire. Some items, such as the Golden Wrench, are untradable, meaning that they must remain on the original account that obtained them.

As of now, it is possible to trade with players on a player's friends list, with other players in their current server, and through either player's Steam Community ID.

Store

Main article: Mann Co. Store

The Mann Co. Store is an in-game micro-transaction service. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as Cosmetic items, weapons, and action items using money stored in their Steam Wallet. Creators of community-contributed items receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created.

All cosmetics or weapons bought through the store could not be crafted or traded, though they were giftable. Tools and action items bought through the store could be traded (after 2 days) and gifted. As of the Manniversary Update, all items bought from the store can be traded after a waiting period of 2-3 days, but still cannot used in crafting.
