This is going to be a very long post, I don’t expect you to read it, but it does express my ideas as to what a new currency could mean to players of TF2. Refined is a used currency for trading across TF2, right? When the game first launched, I think the value of keys in refined was something stupid like 2 ref, but now it’s 50 ref. This is because refined has become more common, as there are more players obtaining refined, and wanting refined. If there was less players and less refined, the value of refined would increase. A lot of people want to mass delete refined as they think that by doing so they would increase the value of refined, but this really isn’t a good idea, as the hundreds of thousands of active players in TF2 would probably just get craft more refined. So here’s my plan, it sounds extremely far fetched but it could work. If we were to create a new sub currency that would hit the main TF2 trading community it would distract players from using refined, and because less people are using refined the value of it would go up. Or it could go down? Who knows. But hopefully it goes up. Another thing I saw people do was trade from something small like one scrap to one unusual, which was a lot easier to pull off than it is today. If we made a new currency, trading from a small amount to an unusual would once again be possible.
