They need to be slower and more thoughtful on the weapons they release. Stuff like rocket jumper, market gardener, brass beast, demoknight weapons, etc. make the game a worse place, not better.

There needs to be an unspoken rule about weapons that get implemented in that they need to be designed to serve a purpose, and that purpose needs to be viable and fit into normal objective-based play within the game.

I would rather have no more weapons than rushed, poorly thought out weapons that detract from the game. Alternate playstyles are great, so long as they fit into the game's flow.

Cosmetics are easy to add and don't affect gameplay in any way, hence the overabundance of them. (Okay. The set bonus hats would be an exception.)

Weapons on the other hand require playtesting and balancing before shipping. As a rule, new weapon models generally have new stats, though they can get away with a few re-skins. Developing stats for new weapons and balancing them is a difficult process that takes time.

As if we didn't have enough weapons nobody use.
Everytime Valve adds a weapon is the same song.
-WEPON IS OP/UP/BROKEN. PLZ NERF/BUFF/FIX
-Then weeks or months happen...
-Valve patches the weapon.
-WEPON IS USELESS NAOW!!! WHY U NO BALANCE??!!
-Then weeks happen.
-VALVE Y U NO ADD MORE WEPONS!!!??

And back to start.

That's more like SPUF than the community itself.

Some weapons that don't fit into objective bases game are some of the most fun and entertaining weapons (see holiday punch)

Also the rocket jumper was created to fill the need to for a training rocket launcher, and the market gardener is a perfectly viable and extremly entertaining weapon.

You forgot the 2 in there.
It's OK though, Valve forgets about the number 3 all the time.

Actually, I didn't forget the 2 since it is in my name.
The reason for the 2 is because I told germans to speak english in an english forum. Remember when steam was down 1 day in germany and +50% of my country wanted refund for their games despite being on steam for YEARS?

The sticky jumper pre-nerfs was a straight upgrade if used with a Caber.

..I miss those days; they were fun.
