Invite your friends from your friendlist to make sure we can bring these keys back down! It's going to take a while but eventually we will bring the price down!

-Thanks Soggy

*sigh* That isn't how economics works... If you don't have the entire community in your group, you can't set prices like that. People would just buy keys for 2.66 here and then sell them for 8 ref there, and repeat until we only have ref left. Even if you have everyone but one seller in your group, people could still buy keys for 2.66 here and sell them for 8 ref there, and you'd run out of money. We don't need to push keys' price down, because the price of keys is constant, tied to $2.50. (continued)

(continued) What we need is to decrease inflation in refined metal, which happens because of weapon drops. So, the only way to conceivably get this to work is to spend a lot of money (emphasis on a LOT) buying keys, trading them for refined metal, and then destroying the metal. That way, we will saturate the economy with keys and reduce the amount of metal, which would slowly bring it back. Although this sounds feasible, it really isn't. We would need to decrease the entire pool of tradable metal at a ratio of 8 ref to 2.66 ref. There is an estimate by Manwaring that roughly $1.5 million dollars of metal are added to the economy each week by weapon and hat drops. This means that we need to match that by decreasing it at a ratio of 8 ref to 2.66 ref, which would mean we need to spend $1.50m*2.66/8=498000, or roughly $500,000 per week buying keys, trading them for refined, and then trashing the refined (or keeping it, without ever trading it away).

just saying to this group,keys aren't going up.refined is going down because of inflation.the only way this would happen was if refined just stopped being crafted.

Well, we can do this be getting a lot of people in the group, i'd say about 10.000 ~ 50.000 (YES, this much) Then we'd create our market and in this market we will buy/sell keys for 2.66 refs. then the rest is easy, if a lot number of people start to buy/sell keys for 2.66 more people are going to try to get in this group so... the difficult step is: Getting a lot of (and i put emphasys on ''A LOT'') people :3
