Dont pay attention to the pricing. This isn't a vote on the price of the key, more so an idea I had.

What if. WHAT IF BP.TF stopped posting a price entirely on currency; earbuds, keys, metal and let the market fend for itself. Not posting how much a key is worth based on what Outpost or Trade servers sell for, but just focus on what items sell for. Face it, the economy right now is 99 shades of black and blue from being beaten to shit and gone with the "key shortage crisis of mid-2012" and the "zomg freemium upgrade accounts are running rampant in idle servers"

Think about that for a second. Greedy jerkoffs on outpost wont have a price they can tack on a scrap to make a profit every chance they get, people like Long and mirror_ wont have any legitimate sources (as if Outpost was a legitimate source to begin with for currency prices) to post up increasing price ranges anymore. Think about what that would do to the economy? Maybe level out to 2.33 to 2.66 ref for a key? Maybe go back to normal before the misc update? Hell it could even trigger the long awaited TF2 economy crash people have been raving about for 2 fucking years.

Now, with that said I am not saying that people like Long are to blame for this. Of course not, they make financial decisions based on a fluctuating market, i get it. I am not economics major by any means, sure I took calc in college and took a personal finance course to help level out my shambled check book and credit cards. Does that make me an expert? Fuck no. But I understand it, people sell high and buy low. Its the way of any market.

I am not asking for you people to vote on a price. I am just asking to take a look at something here for a moment, if we cut off one of the biggest "suppliers" for key price, where does that leave the Outpost? Heading to the Spreadshit - a prove market player and scammer? Or will they actually have to barter and make decisions based on what others are selling at instead of coming here seeing the price is X and then posting "X + .11 FIRM blah blah blah"? If we could even for 2 weeks shut down the key suggestions and remove the key/refined/bud price from BP.tf, perhaps some good would come of that.

And I know that my rep will most likely go to shit for this post, but ya know what? i really don't give two shits about rep. No grammar for that matter. I like trading in TF2, I like playing MvM, regardless of the market I will continue to play it because I enjoy it. Go ahead and downvote if you want to, upvote if you see the same problems I do. Maybe this is the only way to show the mods what is happening and see the voices of the TF2 masses.

TL;DR - upvote for stopping entirely of key suggestions, downvote if you dont agree or dont care.

NOTE: This will also be posted in the forum but I also posted here because of the voting system.
