F CHARLIE Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I recently had a thought and I wanted to get more opinions. I have been wondering if items like the Claim Check, Piles of Ash etc, are valves way of regulating the trade economy in a way like "wealth transfers". They don't need these items in the game to get players to buy keys. Everyone knows, by now, that there will be stuff happening at certain times of there year so....I don't know. I think the pallets may be o good investment but not the robo crates but traders paid to get bunches of them. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I think you think Valve cares about the economic side of TF2 more than it actually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to use things like claim checks to create anticipation at this stage of the product life cycle. Also, keeping players involved in the trading aspect of the game keeps them more engaged in the game in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
