Graphs of # of metal/keys existing over time

[Alpha Warlord]

Mostly just simple line graphs for key items such as metal and keys.  Just for an economic standpoint, I'm curious to see just how much metal and keys are being added to the TF2 economy over like a daily/weekly basis to be able to gauge the supply of metal to the supply of keys and see if its worth justifying the constant increase of key prices.  I know that a factor in the key prices rising is the supply of keys in which people are selling them low is tiny compared to the people selling them high (which i believe can be solved by getting rid of the ranges in the backpack.tf list pricing, but that's another suggestion), but if the rise of prices in keys is far outstripping the rate in which metal is being added to the economy, I think something should be done in consideration for this when adjusting the price of keys

[base64]

Keys increased 110% over the year.

 

Refined increased 75% over the year.

 

They have nothing to do with short term Key prices.

 

worth justifying

 

The only justification is Market forces
