Why do people like tf2 hats - fvv

Now, that the supply of these items is fixed is probably not responsible for their full value in the eyes of TF2 traders. I suspect that a large part of their worth is based on the simple fact that the community as a whole perceives them as valuable, desirable items.

In other words, much like modern coinage, they are valuable simply because society agrees that they are an acceptable medium for representing the value of goods and labour. However, if there was no limit on the supply of these items they would be useless in such a role. With keys the limit is provided by the real-money requirement to acquire a key in the first place as well as the fact that keys are constantly flowing out of the system as they are used to unlock crates. With these promotional items, the limit is an actual physical one on the number of items available.

Intriguingly, though, the supply of these promotional items in circulation is actually decreasing. In TF2, players hoarding items like this is more akin to stuffing your savings into a sock which you keep under your bed. One thing I was concerned about when writing this piece was that it was all very well and good trawling trading sites for the approximate current prices of TF2 items, but that all this would give me was a snapshot of the current state of the economy.

It would tell me nothing about what it was like six months ago, or a year ago, or three years ago. I had no clue how the economy had changed over time. To try and rectify this I got Jim to put me in touch with Losty, a TF2 player who is fairly heavily involved in item trading. I interpret it as TF2 traders either preferring not to get real money involved in the system all that much, or just spending it on other things such as paint. Of course many of the hats that can be found up for trade can also be purchased in the in-game store for a fixed sum, effectively putting a cap on their value in terms of keys.

Refined metal is acquired through a convoluted crafting system that basically requires 18 unwanted weapons in 9 matched pairs to create one refined metal. It has other uses besides acting as money, as it constitutes a required ingredient of many of the higher-level crafting recipes in the game.

In particular you can combine three refined metal to make a random hat, and this is interesting to me because most hats are apparently worth about 1. It does say to me that the random element of crafting hats also provides much of the value of the metal; that while the metal is unused, that small chance of getting an awesome hat is a tangible thing that has worth. I asked Losty what the appeal was for him, and his reply was this:. OK, maybe not. Plus it keeps me playing TF2.

How much of it was intentional? I doubt it. However I do think that Valve as a company have a definite talent for instinctively identifying new systems and mechanics that seem stupid and unnecessary when they launch, but which are widely seen as utterly indispensible five years later.

The hat looks pretty dumb. It doesn't fit the "artstyle" to me. It just looks stupid. Tronex View Profile View Posts. Why people hate huge ugly "elite tier" cosmetic?! Pakaku View Profile View Posts. Last edited by Pakaku ; 2 Aug, am. Originally posted by Pakaku :. Originally posted by e-waste :.

Some images were obtained through the "Gaming Through The Ages" blog, so credit to them for a few pictures. NOTE: If you think that these hats mean the wearer is a poor player, both in skill and financial situation, then you are mistaken: not spending money on simple cosmetic items does NOT determine the "usefulness" of a player. Hats or no hats, the argument that how someone looks determines who they are is entirley invalid, in ANY situation.
