the tf2 economy just crashed

Author Topic: the tf2 economy just crashed  (Read 2578 times)

it took them 8 days to come to a solution
we need to rescue these poor souls

well boys we did it
tl;dr whoever unboxed 1 unusual can trade it but if they unboxed any more than that then they're trade locked
in a week or so you can funnily enough get a refund for these trade-locked unusuals, and you can even get a refund for the bugged crates and the keys you purchased

update: after 19 hours valve finally took the wool out of their eyes and disabled trading + community market buying/selling for tf2 items temporarily
(and the tf2 twitter has finally made a tweet after 1 year and 4 months)

ok for now they made the unusual drops from these crates untradable for the time being

some pretty old crates suddenly 100% guaranteed unusuals (#1-#18, #61, #82, and #85), and a couple of people spotted this bug and started unboxing in the masses, quickselling these unusuals
word spread around and mid-tier unusuals that are on average £50 have suddenly dipped to almost the price of a key (£2), and demand for the bugged crates have soared
the economy got so bad that scrap.tf one of the main trading sites and stn-trading.tf (along with trade.tf) had to disable unusual banking
sell your crates if you want and look through the list of now-cheap unusuals but nobody knows how valve will clean this up

edit: apparently people are saying that they've been trade-banned for buying/selling bugged crates/unusuals but nobody is really certain at this point; trade these items at your own risk
valve will either have to rollback all the item trades or they might just sit back and watch like they did when the untradable gift wrap glitch was about

Imagine being a constant contrarian.

I have a bunch of old crates, which are guaranteeing Unusuals?

from what i'm seeing the bugged crates are #1-#18, #61, #82, and #85
if they sell over 0.03 then they're probably bugged (although apparently crates #19-#21 are fake bugged crates)

EDIT: #61 not #62
