I play TF2 from June 2009.
Today I've got my first "real" hat.
By crafting.
Which is in game from the middle of December.
And my hat is the Mining Light.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU--

Edit: I also accidentally crafted some of my random level weapons :/

I'm cool with it, at least it was a hat for a class I don't have a hat for. Now, I have a hat for each of the competitive-centric classes (Scout, Soldier, Demoman, Medic) and a hat for my favorite class (Texas Ten Gallon) so I'm very pleased. Of course, now I have to find weapons that I crafted away to make the hat :O

Update: Just found a hat today, on Feb. 27th. Backbiters Billycock.

Last night I tried to combine slot tokens for some reason. And what do ya know? 3 tokens made a refined metal. I haven't been paying attention to any new combinations so it was a nice suprise, I had accidentally crafted 6 slot/class tokens right when crafting started. A bunch of spy ones from watches and there is a way to see hats on cloaked spies (so I don't wear spy hats and I'm not telling how to cheat either).

That bumped my up to exactly 3 metals to craft a random. Got lucky and scored a Soldier's Stash, which is cool, a pot would've been cool too, but at least it wasn't a bald head.
2 minutes before that I got my second random drop hat, the masters belt. Didn't have a sniper hat yet so that's cool. First drop was afro a year ago.

And I had enough metal before for one random hat, got the scout's baseball helmet.

According to this it takes 3 of any token to make a reclaimed metal, not a refined metal.

I just got a hatless sniper (ie the worst hat) so I crafted it with my only other hat (trophy belt ie second worst hat) and got a damn stovepipe (ie third worst hat, one which I had before but crafted because its so bad). I hate luck.

No hats for me, I don't think anything has dropped in 4 hours... So tempted to idle - but no, I want to earn my hat so I appreciate it more.

So yesterday I got a camera beard, and today I got another one. Probably means I'm going to go without discovering hats for another 4 months given the randomness of getting the same thing twice in a 24-hour span but whatever.

Oh well that certainly explains it then. I forgot they have the "MISC" classification.

I crafted a medic hat last night!

Got the one I wanted too, the Prussian Pickle helmet thing.
