Unfortunately, now, TF2 has been comprised of mainly 90% trading and the rest is for the seriousness, ness side of it.

LoL this guy must quit playing in the Trade Serverz. I play TF2 everyday so far for unknown amount of hourz. i prolly hear about 5% of people actually asking for a trade. From Payload, Payload Race, Attack and Defense, MVM, and ETC. The only time I actually see people trading is in the Saxton server because if you die very early then you have nothing to do for about 5-10mins a round ( If Lucky ). So the Percentage is about 90% Game and 10% Trade on a regular server.

I dunno about now but If I recall a bills hat goes for $30 dollars on the grey market. Probably $40 on steam market.
And Buds... $60.

30 * 10 = $300
Who's laughing now? :P

Exactly. Some people sell more, with the colours varying. But yeah. $300 sounds lovely.  ;D

I am

Anyone who is willing to spend 30$ on a fake hat inside a game is a little fucked in the head priority wise.
Anyone who is willing to spend $60 on fake ear buds in a video game would be better off setting their money on fire in order to stay warm.

I was fine when hats were something people traded now and again, but if we've really gotten to the point where people are spending 30$ - 60$ on fake items, I'm done.

I agree with tic. Pay for gameplay if you want to, not "bonus pixels". Never pay for bonus pixels.

Yeah, I can understand paying for DLC (As long as your paying a fair price) But they're Fake hats in a video game. You'll only see them when you taunt and in the case of the ear buds, that two extra lines running from your ears, that's it.

If you pay 60$ for two extra lines running down your head, you probably shouldn't be aloud to make financial decisions on your own.

Buds = $30
not bills

I usually am able to buy those "virtual pixels" (keys) and trade them for a game, usually at a lower price. (e.g. I payed with Empire Total War Master Collection for just 3 keys)

It is a real item in a virtual realm with a very real amount of demand which would set a very real price.
Title: Re: Trying to Expand My Small Collection
Post by: Cadaver on June 05, 2013, 02:11:54 AM
It is a virtual item, with real world value, to some.

Not to me.

But, I guess one can call me hypocritical, as I do have pay to play tanks in World of Tanks.  Virtual items with no real world value to some, but it helps the game.  A key difference, it helps the game, the hats do not aid you in any way in the game.

Yeah, except you use the medium of paper for exchange, paper is worthless, as paper money is a promise to pay metal. That's the purpose of paper money. Pixels are worthless as well in the real world, paper is not. Why pay for somethithing that's worthless? Paper has power in the real world because it's a medium that's accepted as a medium. Nobody will let you buy groceries with pixels.
TL:DRWe give paper value so we can carry around paper and not heavy metal. We have no reason to give pixels worth.

No. Just no. Tictac was saying that paying for hats in TF2 with real money is stupid (it is), then Inject came in with an argument that had nothing to do with anything. This mind-numbing argument ends here.

Post by: oobla37 on June 05, 2013, 07:28:20 AM
You don't understand economics, do you? Inject was saying exactly what needs to be realized to have stable economy. We give a medium (money) value, because we need to facilitate exchange between someone who has stuff, and someone who needs that stuff. That's why paper has value. He is saying that we give pixels value so that we can facilitate exchange in a game world. Which I agree with, but I disagree with him saying that pixels=paper, (in principle). I believe that pixels should always be worthless, regardless of how much worth we give them, as does tic. Learn something about how money works, and you would see that inject has a very valid point, but one that is opinionated.
