SPYBUG96 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi everyone. I just made a fairly good, fairly long, fairly complicated, and extremly detailed guide on steam explaining why key prices are inflating on 11/18/2014. In short -low demand of ref -influx of keys -Static real currency set key price -Key traders asking for more than the newly updated prices I encourage you to check it out, in it I also make a few predictions, but those are also included in the summary at the end of my guide, so you don't have to read the whole thing. Please check out my guide Link to guide I made this guide so I would be able to post the link in suggestions where the person just wants to drop the price so they can afford keys, or to prevent TF2 from "crashing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slocumruls Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Keys purchased from the store are mainly used for unboxing or handed directly to traders that have little to no use for ref (like myself). The exchange rate between keys and ref continues to increase because nobody with keys wants ref and everybody with ref wants keys. It's really that simple. There was massive amounts of unboxing during the halloween event (i myself burned 370 keys in the process, none of which came directly from the store) but all that served to do was increase the ratio of ref:key even more simply because there was absolutely nothing useful to do with ref during the event. The only reason why people like myself with hundreds or in some cases thousands of keys would willingly sell keys for ref would be if there was a purpose for it (crafting event of some sort, breadboxes were a good one and even gen 3 strangifiers were somewhat of a metal sink). In the mean time we will continue to hoard keys away from the metal market simply because anybody selling stuff worth more than a couple keys just won't accept metal because of the extra work involved to convert it back into keys.

Gent♥ Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not so fast, hold on you miserable pessimists. After that bullshit 'murrrrr keys r gunna crash d econimy' guide went, we got 3 or 4 key suggestions, as well as a few junk threads based specifically on that guide. This could actually do some good. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPYBUG96 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 My motivation on making this guide was so that I could post the link to the guide for people who say and make suggestions like... "I'm trying to save the TF2 economy. Please help me save it." "We are killing the economy guys! come one people are quiting TF2 because of the key prices!" "These Keys are going out of contol, many people are quiting tf2 of the huge prices going up, we need to prevent this before it goes out of contol and its way too high, before these numbers have risen, trading was fun, not anymore, the prices have rapidly risen up, this needs to go down before the keys are worth 20 ref or somthing which could be possible!"
