ᴰᴳᴺ Church of KFC
DARKLY Regular
Hey guys, KFC here.
I was thinking about it last night while I was about to sleep, and... is the market really crashing?
I mean, sure. Buds are 12.5, Keys are 14 ref! Refined is under 17 cents.
But, around the holidays, what do we all do? Buy keys. Tons and tons of keys. That means there will be lots of keys in the game. They'll go back down in price. Meaning lots less refined. Right? Well, not exactly.
There's still going to be a lot of refined in the game. New people are crafting refined to make hats, unless they know about trading. But there is bound to be people who just craft refined to make some quick profit from getting tons of weapons (from idling).
Idling has ruined TF2 though, hasn't it? I mean, if we just leave our PC on over night on a trade'n'idle server, we get tons of weapons. What do we do with those weapons? Either, sell 'em for scrap, or craft them. And by the end of the week we have anywhere from a refined to a key! This is whats causing the "inflation".
Now, it may sound like I'm arguing myself into a corner here, but...
Well, what do we need to do? If only valve cared enough to do something similar to the "golden wrench" crafting. But they won't. Because they DON'T CARE! Yes, ladies and gentleman, valve has GIVEN UP on tf2.
"But they add new hats in that we all love!" Be honest, we don't need more hats. Yeah, hats are great and all, but a vast majority of the community is F2P. And usually they don't have any hats. (Besides gibus, pyrovision etc.)
In the more recent EOTL update, they said they'd give us weapons, even a new map! We were so excited.
"Too confusing." says valve, to the mapmakers, who spent countless hours working on/editing this map.
I mean, come on. As a developer, you can't just say you'll do something and not do it! Heck, even as a NORMAL PERSON, you should still keep promises.
Anyway, this isn't a valve/eotl rant. Movie was AMAZING. This is about the market.
If tons of people buy keys over christmas, they'll go back down in price. Maybe not below 10 ref, but still down. Then ref will maybe go back up.
With so many keys in the game, we'll have a raise in buds. (I'd recommend buying buds now while you can.)
I'd love to hear your guys' opinion on this matter. Feel free to leave a comment! -KFC
