The Double Agent Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 to be honest, I love to have a team spirit /lock of hue buds, but in the long run, would it ruin the economy of Tf2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element IV Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 how would painting a promo affect its price? There would still be the same quantity of buds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cottonbonbon Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Maxes are Paintable, and no one cares :s Pretty much this; making buds paintable wouldn't do anything damning to the economy in the slightest. Hell, if anything, it would probably raise their demand since people would actually wear them cosmetically instead of just solely being a currency.

Blatch Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I thought this was supposed to be a GB thread mocking marketable buds ruining the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Nope. It will give them a higher demand if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heated Bread Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I don't think it would matter much as far as the appeal of buds as a cosmetic goes. People hardly wear buds these days. If there was a 4th cosmetic slot, that would probably change. Buds are used primarily as a currency. The appeal of using something like buds as a currency is that while they do fluctuate over time, they all have a relatively fixed value at any given point. Throwing paints into the mix would complicate things. I personally would refuse to pay anything extra for painted buds, while some people would insist on an extra key or two for their black painted earbuds. I feel this would slightly undermine buds as a currency, because suddenly there would be something to differentiate one pair of buds from another beyond a random level and an item history that hardly anyone cares about.

Pwndaz! Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think GabeN would take a poo on everyone's hats, thus causing the crash of Severed Earbills (A League of Legends 2 Promo) and giving everybody the massed flies effect on their hat.

The Radiated Banana Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 it will probably increase demand, making them more stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr. Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It would only make buds look nicer, but increasing the price. Nah, don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Pink buds would actually be really nice. Imagine people asking 1 key more for white paint because "it doesn't look any different, but it's worth more". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Recluse Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I would love painted buds and I've wanted this for years. TS, lime, and pink buds would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liddojunior Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 When it comes to high value items or common currency items. Paint doesn't even affect the value, some users might pay more while others will count them as if they were paintless. As other users have mentioned, it might in fact increase demand.

Julia Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I want to paint my Sneaky Spats of Sneaking white for that same reason XD I was going to say someone offered me white painted Sneaking Spats of Sneaking once. If you check the wiki page, they're exactly the same. i told them no one would pay more for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
