2 Month ago 1 scrap was cost 0,018$. With free drops people abused free drops with bot accounts and crafting metarial ammount is tripled. Now 1 crafting metarial cost 0,0061$ 3 times lower than before. This is not only about crafting metarials also rarity of crafted mythicals.
You are arguing about literal fractions of cents here (chances are you messed up with the decimal point since you can’t make things cheaper than one cent on the Steam Community Market)

I’d ask you to humor me but we both know you can’t. The issue you outline is one of the reasons Nelson probably disabled drops, but yes reenabling them (after people asking for it I imagine) is obviously going to affect the scrap/crafting mat value.
I have a endonesian account which uses idr as currency. Which I can sell a item for 0.03 idr
0.03 idr = 0,0000018$ (zero point zero zero zero zero zero eighteen dollar) I think thoose numbers are beyond your imagination. I can sell 5555 item just to get only 1 cent.

What ever
Do you see the spikes that happened when nelson turned on drops which almost %75 off for crafting metarial
Upon Artisan’s Makeshift Mystery Box added to the game I bought like 40k crafting metarials for very cheap and turned them to the boxes. I could make a box for like only 0.2$. Than from thoose boxes I got too many very very rare mythicals (They shouldn’t be in this box in my opinion) which caused downfall of rare mythicals.
Yeah, I think the new box (Combo crate 1) at least SHOULD be rotated out of the crafting pool when the new combo crate gets added. It went from like 45-65 to 25-30 cents and there are already too many in existence. They can announce its removal a week or two minimum in advance so people can craft or buy them in preparation.
That’s also not touching the fact that you get bonus items at the same rate as dollar boxes I assume, which has caused some soul crystal kits to sell for real big lows.
Well, to be fair, the changes have made certain cosmetics more accessible to players.
I don’t really mind there being more scrap and kits (lowkelvin/killcounter/jaded + soul crystals) being cheaper… I only think due to the extreme abundance of artisan boxes they should rotate to a new craft box eventually.
Just mentioned the SC-kits to talk more about the results of the changes.

That they are. I forgot about currency conversion rates, my bad.
Why do you you have a Indonesian (assuming that is what you meant to type, feel free to correct me on that) as a Turk? Does Valve not flag that since you claim to reside in country X but manage payments form country Y?
Damm that grim, even the Lira is that low.
That is pretty much what OP has been saying all this time no? It devalued existing assets.
I was buying common skins for 0.0085$ per item than 25x0.0085$=0.21$ than sell the box for 0.7$ I got 0.45$ profit with fees but I bought like 30k common. I used macro scripts with one click I was making 100$ in 1 hr
I explained many times this to nelson but I think he didn’t understand because they think cap is 0.01$
Which it is, if you don’t abuse the system like you are (which can probably get you into trouble)
I’m not abusing anything I’m just buying stuff from steam market
