[QUOTE=MasterFen007;37302558]I just can't figure out how keys managed to increase in price to 2.55/2.66 refined? It's not like we're running out of them, there'll always be a constant supply of them via the Store. It's retarded if you ask me![/QUOTE] It's more of a matter of what people consider metal/hats to be worth, which is bound to go down depending on the amount of idling going on, at least that's my hypothesis

[QUOTE=papaya;37303445]weren't they 1 refined once[/QUOTE] Yes. It was more because Refined was more valuable though. Bill's were like 6 Ref at one point.

I remember everyone being amazed by someone's sunbeams hat on Jigglys Fun House server in 2010.

I bought TF2 around the Engy update as well. It was a much simpler time, the economy taking its first steps. Then you heard the rumors of unusuals beginning to be sold for ridiculous dollars and oh man that was a crazy time

I've been trying to get one hat that is really specific to the point where I either massivley overpay or wait for the person who has the right 2 things. It's pretty annoying :v:

New item, there aren't many of them around and people want them, of course they're gonna be expensive.

While outpost is bursting at the seams with retards, botkiller weapons are no easy feat to get. Those other stranges are just a click away.

How excessive some of the waves in advanced MvM can be :c

Whenever the item server is down

When you're playing as Ambassador spy, and you line up a headshot, and you're running through the enemy base walking backwards with a conga line of rampaging enemies following you, and you bump into someone and hear "Nope" [img_thumb]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m459ilEknr1rn6d1no1_1280.jpg[/img_thumb] When you're playing as Demoman and have a stricky trap set up, and Stupid Soldier A runs through with a rampaging soldier chasing him, and the other soldier's rockets destroy your stickies When you're playing Pyro and your teammates who are burning and have ten HP left are running towards the medkits ten feet away instead of towards the pyro two feet away When you're playing Medic and your Heavy/bash brother charges into sight of a thousand furious sentries and gets torn to delicatessen meat, and you're left with 99% Ubercharge and two pyros and a soldier and a heavy hungry for your gown-wearing rump When you're playing Medic and you have 35 HP and your healing target has 100 HP and he takes the medkit When you're playing Spy and hiding while you wait for a medkit to regen and Stupid Soldier B leads a conga line of pyros and engineers and demomen right to you

[QUOTE=Thefalcon;37301464]Yes, their use is opening crates. From 4 keys I uncrated twice a hat. I don't know if Im lucky with that, but still its a big loss.

Doubt you'll understand, anyway.I can sense your hypocrisy of not trying to join the market, and I also saw your posts in the Trading Thread.In case if you still don't like it, give me all your uncrates.

I dont know if many people have noticed, but these botkiller weapons are the biggest sources of profit in tf2 that ive seen in a while. Depending on how valuable to view your time to be, youre only spending about 6 bucks on tickets. (nevermind that you have to add 10 bucks to your wallet to do this) With these 6 bucks, you are guaranteed a weapon thats worth at least 12 keys, and at most x amount of buds. ive seen the amount of botkiller weps out there now, and i figured that there is a 1/8 chance of getting a gold version. Thats not too rare at all. With only 6 dollars and a day of your time, you can pretty much consider yourself to be a bud richer. To stay on topic, you could say it annoys me how ridiculous the profit opportunity is :v:

Things were going fine for the first five rounds of the purportedly easiest fucking map in all of mvm. Things were a little choppy, the medic wasnt healing the heavy, the engi wasnt moving his sentry when a sentry buster came, the demo was trying to be a demoknight, yet we still managed to struggle through the first five. We lose once at the final stage due to the fact that all of the above occurred at the same time. Suddenly, the medic ragequits, the scout switches to medic, losing all of his upgrades, and the new sixth guy goes sniper. Of course, i never got a chance to see this train wreck play out, for the server up and decided to come down with a case of intense terminal laggititus.
