Plato to Aristotle Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 As everyone knows (or maybe a major minority) that one of the only reasons that un-boxing still happens is because people want to get unusual hats or hype.ect. But really, most people who aren't total nubs know that people will be butthurt from the un-boxing 1/100 time, divide 100 by the amount of keys used, Usually, unless there's fucking through the roof hype, the items sell off for less than the key value based on a most complicated aspect of economics ever, demand. Anyway, I want to hear how to make un-boxing worth it without upsetting the economy and without a way for very-very trade savy person to bypass. I'll go first, my idea is to make specialized crates, a large variety of crates that Valve would put a limit on, thereby generating enough demand to bypass speculation. These crates would be opened with one universal key for the crates or the regular ones. Since Valve would make it so that each crate has different items, people would be left with limited items and supply and demand comes into play and the economic phenomenon that happened during the release of the economic update, people would try to find hats they like while pricing them along the way according to their liking. BTW, I really am starting to hate forum trolls, so if you don't have genuine ideas that people will appreciate, please don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plato to Aristotle Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 100% chance of getting an unusual o.O Sorry for my post, I thought you said something else, but it would have to be some randomly chosen unusual and different variations of likeliness to create demand.

CrafterofGenius Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You mean like thirst bloods, which people hate due to the mass unbox of them? Making something bad a limited supply doesn't make it any less shit. Unboxing is a gamble, if you can't handle a gamble then don't unbox. It's that simple.

Ummm, do you know Faraday Say's theory of supply creates it's own demand? This diversity would make people wanting to buy even though it doesn't have demand yet, but it will because hype. Period. Another thing would be that people would most likely avoid this new update if it were to be implemented because of "You can't fool the people theory, but this theory has been challenged and the latter would likely happen.

I agree, the fault of the Limited Late Crates was that they where soooo overly hyped. Like: ZOMG THE ITEMS AND UNUSUAMAGULZ R LIMTED SO DAT MEANS THUR ALL GON BE MAX'S UNBOX ALL OF THEMMM. Then SOOOOOOOOO many people unboxed them that were were too many and the cosmetics are still technicly "limted" but there are so freaking many it doesn't matter.

You think Valve didn't think of any of this? Valve knows more than you do, they make thousands-millions of dollars thinking ahead of time so that you keep playing their game and gambling away your funds. Only way you can profit is if you mass unbox and hope for the best, or be like a regular trader and trade your way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread isn't designed to be practical, it's just that how to have people un-box and still have profit? If you were a Valve employee what would you do?
