Administrators Jessecar Posted June 3, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yes it's true, Geel and I are acquiring backpack.tf. If you'd like to know why and what we're planning to do you can read Geel's post about it here: https://scrap.tf/blog/posts/16 TeenyTinyCat has also made a nice post from the backpack staff about the move. You can read that here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/meetthestats#announcements/detail/1273803620853157226 We'll also be here answering any questions or concerns you have about the move.

Svode Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I wonder if you would incorporate your Scrap.tf bots in some weird fashion? As in, if they were to sell an item on Scrap.tf a listing for it could appear on the classies of BP.TF Ankle Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cave Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Damn, first of all, thanks for the purchase of backpack.tf, brad did do a fantastic job doing this. Never would I think backpack.tf would be sold, but today the time has come. I wish the best of luck to backpack.tf and the new staff members. Anyways, will scrap.tf be visible on the backpack.tf profile anytime soon? I would love to see that! It maybe is a stupid question, but will you still be accepting moderators/admins after the purchase? Thanks, TheProcave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happysedits Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 >For example, here at ScrapTF we've been collecting a great amount of data from the Steam Community Market to assist in pricing some of our items. This data can go to good use on backpack.tf, where we can use it to help determine prices of items heuristically. backpack.tf also has a lot of data that can greatly assist ScrapTF and Marketplace.tf in determining accurate prices for items. What changes do you wanna do to price suggesting? Can you give more detail on this? Any changes planned for unusuals too? (Personally I would like for unusuals to be priced the same, the SCM thing is great tho) Edit: HarryG was right! lmao http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/statuses/user/1022-geel/?status_id=430114 and ksolis too http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/statuses/user/23871-ksolis01/?status_id=430175 Edit2: Will you be more active on those forums too as on scrap.tf forums?

Administrators Teeny Tiny Cat Posted June 3, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 3, 2017 It maybe is a stupid question, but will you still be accepting moderators/admins after the purchase? Our staff application process will remain the same, with woifi and I deciding on new hires. Geel and Jesse will have power of veto but I don't expect them to use it much, cause we don't hire anyone who isn't pretty great.

We currently don't have any plans to automatically price items with that data Ah perfect! Will there be buttons like for example the current ''view marketplace.tf sales'', so we can see for how much scrap.tf bots sell it to update the price? Btw currently one STN guy raised a few stuff with sales from STN, will we see something similar with scrap.tf? https://backpack.tf/vote?q=vote/&creator=76561198064804350&state=0,1,2 (btw cheers for the mp.tf button, it helped me with tons of suggestions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? I'm glad I bailed out of trading when I can this can only go downhill. Any belief in a conflict of interest can only be caused by a lack of understanding of how pricing on backpack.tf works. It could not be more transparent. This is exclusively a good thing for the community. The site having someone behind it who can actually dedicate time, energy and resources to it could only be a good thing. Moreover: https://gyazo.com/5e36d4436aeb03dc0937f85dd79ed7d3 Geel's backpack currently weighs in at less than $1,000. For reference the actual top backpack in the game is nearing $82,000. Not one of the largest Backpacks in the game by any definition. Teeny Tiny Cat and Cave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
