Ok so I am super confused as to how the whole point system in this freaking game. I never really play for prolonged time periods maybe like an hour here and there but I have played that way for some time and still cant figure out how to unlock things or even keep my point tracker up .Everytime I play it seems like my points reset to 1,000. Please I really like the game but would also really like to get some new stuff to play with.

To unlock the extra weapons for the Heavy, Pyro, Medic, and Scout you have to earn the achievements related to the class (I think 5 achievements unlocks the first one for each class). The other way to unlock the new weapons is to just play the game for extended periods of time and no matter what class you are, you will be given random unlocks. This is the only way to unlock the new Sniper and Spy weapons.

Everytime you join a new server your server points will be new because they only apply to that server. The 1000 points deal is not a valve or tf2 thing but an add on to the server. To earn new weapons you just have to play until you randomly get them now.

This sounds like one or more servers running a certain plugin. Team Fortress 2 itself doesn't have a point system like that, but I have seen many servers (across various Source games) that use it. It means nothing toward your achievements or unlockables.

EDIT: Too slow. :P

Only the new unlocks are completely random, I believe the old ones can still be gotten through achievements.

Im pretty sure you can unlock the older items through achievements but you can still get them randomly.

My friend has gotten the gloves and natascha again from the random pick.

The old ones can be acquired through achievements.
