I have selected two new admins to take my place, A Common Brony and Wayne, as well as one new moderator, Viper.

I will now be leaving the group in their hands.

At this point I am no longer interested in owning this group. My mind has changed on the topic of buds and I now belive it is only the natural course of the economy for this to happen. If buds rise it is simply a mater of demand, and I no longer have interest in creating that demand.

If anyone else would like to take this group over let me know in the comments or add me.

You have 12 hours to convince me as to why you should own it.

I think it's good to see the other points of view.

The most important thing to know about trading in any economy is the concept of supply and demand. It dictates the prices of all items within that universe. I could explain it but I think PPK FS has stated it best.

This is a guide explaining the ever rising key prices, which can be used to explain the falling bud prices.

The major difference here is that keys will always have a steady supply while buds are fixed; there will never be any more buds put into tf2.

With this in mind, the key is to increase the demand of buds. This can only be achieved by users actually wanting them. Now to do that, we must come together as a community and return to accepting buds as a main form of high tier currency instead of constantly under valuing them and/or only accepting keys.

There are obviously other factors that play into the prices of items (as you will see in the link I posted) but this is the most important.
