Pretty pointless change if you ask me, considering most OP sellers value keys (when trading items) at 3 ref. Not gonna vote either way, for now.

EDIT: Wasn't thinking clearly, I actually agree with this after my own search through OP, see below comment for what I found.

Yes it's hard to tell prices when the market wants to change the value of keys every 5 minutes or so. Sellers would rather not go through the fatigue and just would rather sell for 1 solid key.

I see what you mean, and I do think that this is more common. A key seems like a reasonable price to ask for this item, IMO.

Some proof to help you:

yeah, the price change is just way too small.

That's what I thought at first, but then I thought of what might happen in the future. Once people start selling these for a key, then the price will usually stay bound to that measure. With the constant increase in the price of keys, it makes sense to tie an item that is being traded in keys to keys.

An example: Say keys rise to 4 ref. Outpost sellers will keep selling them for a key because they're outpost sellers. This means that these will be listed as 3 ref, when in fact they are worth 4. This can be solved by tying them down to the currency they are traded in.

That's my justification, anyway.

these are easily sold for 1 key just based on looking at outpost, I am getting too wishy washy to vote.
