Personally, I'm pretty aggravated. Thanks valve, for driving clean prices on everything down. The only things that won't be affected will be anything that can't be bought in store.
On the other hand, I think that all the dirty items are going to see a slight mark up due to the fact that you can't actually get them anymore.

I think the real question is will Uncraftable hats be worth a lot in say a year or so? Clean non crafted hats worth 2 keys each now? This is MADNESS

The dudes with the clean mercs pride scatf just got pwned D:, but anyway I kinda like this idea you buy something in the store and its clean as the others, and valve will probabably make more money because now its clean!, the upside I see is less people buyng keys because they can have the items clean instead of buyng keys to trade for the clean items.

Potentially, they could increase the unusual drops to compensate for the drop in purchases. But in the end, It just means that prices are going to go up on the WRONG things.

Was making that joke to my mate when we read the patch notes. That would be godly.

Say no more. Haha.

I honestly doubt this will have a major effect on the economy. Absolutely, clean glitched item owners have been royally screwed over, just take a look at Ball kicking boots and the scarf, they're going to crash to very very low value. Valve is conscious of the economy, but I doubt that they care particularly about items that aren't supposed to exist anyway.

Dirty items may become a new form of vintage, or Valve may decide to just go the whole way and make all these items craftable, it's their choice.

omg i just sold a whole bunch of uncraftable's a few days ago. got none now. what if the price actually goes up. the tf2 trading economy is going to get screwed over?
