Same here. It seems like everything turned to shit after the engie update. You can argue that they've been bad before that, but I think we can all agree that most all of the Polycount items have been trash.

I don't even care about hats anymore. Sure, they're mildly annoying, but hardly as damaging to the game as all these laser beams and gimmick weapons have been.

The only kind of laser weapon I will tolerate is a lightning gun

These mystery items are far from rare... I like how people were selling them for 1-4 keys yesterday when they started dropping. I'm getting a 1:1 ratio of items to mystery items.

Valve just hired an economist recently to study the in-game economy. Rumor has it that these items (which are obviously useless but are still going for 2-4 keys) are just an experiment of some sort.

It's most likely an ARG for whatever update they have planned. It's surfacing now that if you wear the sherlock holmes stuff as a medic all the descriptions change and it spells out a bit of something or other.

Combined they form:

"Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser."
