[TF2] Not being able to unbox miscs out of old crates.
By old crates i mean OLD number crates and the multi class crates/individual class crates, they used to be in the unbox pool and after that update adding the multi class crates you can no longer unbox miscs and its been a long time bug same with some older hats, if you're able to fix this thanks so much!
This is not a bug, but an intentional change by Valve as apparently unusual miscs were causing issues with too many particles so they limited their distribution.
Well instead of just out right removing them do you think there's any alternative way you guys can fix them?

It was actually EOTL (as opposed to unlocked crate update) that made them remove miscs, since unusual boots and backpacks were being unboxed which is ridiculous. The criteria for what unusuals can be unboxed in the old crates is pretty straight forward: have a hat or whole head equip region and be unboxable from an old crate (unless the hat is retired/limited). Reallowing none regions would allow for tools of the trade (a shirt) to be unboxed so regions would probably need to be updated, not a small task. Ignoring economic or technical limitations that may or may not exist, I think glasses region being added wouldn't be too bad since all of those actually sit on the head.
