0:40 never made sense to me because gun skins are redeemable from cases for years and infinitely tradable... sure cases have scarcity but its foreseeable that these charm collections will go away or see less redemption from stars in the future.
@leaveacomment
@leaveacomment 13 күн бұрын
The problem is, whenever any charm sees any positive price movement in the future while still being redeemable, people will just buy new passes and redeem it until they're back to being unprofitable.
@Zarrx
@Zarrx 13 күн бұрын
@leaveacomment that is reasonable speculation (and in all reason likely) but I just think there are variables that could see it untrue. Let's say in the last 2 weeks 60% of the market of whales just find them uninteresting and another 30% sitting out. What happens if that flips? Could demand outpace pass sales and star redemption in price trends? How many casual players are grinding stars right now on a large scale? When will that stop? Equilibrium where people will grind the charm and bring the price down is not quite known and grows with demand. This is not accounting if they do into discontinuation.

Also, we've looked through every pattern. It isn't that hard... The gun buddies in-game are so low res that most us won't be able to discern detail either. We already have tools that allow us to check every pattern. You literally played an animated gif and said "we don't know what every pattern looks like" but you just hued through every colour on the knife/diecast.

@JimmyDoesJournalism 14 күн бұрын
Your very wrong about the charm patterns.. The 661 pattern wouldn't be any more rare under this new system, you'd simply have a range either side of 661 that is now very close to the best pattern. Compare pattern #55,666 and pattern #55,667 and tell me that they're not identical... Please. Changing a single value by the smallest integer to create a new shade of blue takes hundreds of patterns before most of us can see any difference.

People still degen for collection purposes there's a reason why multiple charms have sold for $300+ even if it's stupid. The same way people will pay 10x more for a #1 low float skin that makes no difference in game compared to a 0.00x is going to apply to people getting best pattern charms thay have no difference in game, or 0.072 and 0.080 gloves. And it was just a simplified comparison for the video as the 661 ak wouldn't even be the best pattern if 100k variations existed, but it conveys scale nonetheless. I think we can agree that overpaying for a few values of difference is stupid, but I also think there's dumber things people go crazy for that's considered "normal" today
@MaxWollheck
@MaxWollheck 13 күн бұрын
I agree with you. It's not really pattern based as we know it from normal skins. It's a spectrum of colors. Though I do believe that unique pattern ids like 661, 88888, 42069 and so on will be overpaid for, we can't deny the fact that it's a 1/99.999% chance to get a certain id. Overall I think that the easiest way is to give percentages to charms like we have it for fade skins. Then add ons can just say 7.72%, 56%, 99.5% for example

I do play couple games every day, I'm thinking about getting as much passes as I can and just buy cases and hold them for some years do you have any thoughts on that? I think it's pretty safe unless something big happens with the lows and stuff but from supply and demand perspective it's unlikely to go lower than 90cents because if it does it will be unprofitable and no one will buy it with the stars which will make supply go lower and price up so it will probably just stabilize around $1 until it gets removed. I also think that the armory being a yearly think is possible ofc I would like it to be like 6 months but if it's more than 1 year I think valve risks the failure of the next rotations as many people who get burned in this might not want to get burned again in the next one.

ya I expect charms to die off so honestly.... idk nothing really stands out as something that you could farm on multiple account for free money.

Now that the initial dump is gone and people farming went mostly into cases, if people keep opening these prices are going to creep up
