Yesterday, the prices of keys on backpack.tf hit 50 refined metal (and rising,) with a newly accepted suggestion of 52.22-52.44 refined - or one TF2 inventory page's worth of refined. It looks like the economy has finally taken a turn.

What does everyone think about this? I remember back when on key was worth a mere 3 refined, so this is insane to me.

The economy is drastically changing over time. Trading a unique weapon up to a Mann. Co Key is slowly becoming a myth at this point.

It was 2.33 ref per key when I started playing in 2011.

The problem is that there's no metal sink; Combine that with AFK farming on extremely cheap TF2 accounts and you get the rising inflation of metal. Unlike keys, there just isn't an inherent value to metal.

This problem was pointed out years and years ago, but Valve in their neglect and incompetence have done nothing. I, for one, can't wait for 100 ref per key.

Also, I blame the inflation on people like you who whether it be ironically or unironically posting doge memes beyond the time period A.D.
