Values based on credits not Club Sofas

[Zhris]

Hello,

Ever since credits became available to buy and trade, I believed that all rare values should be based on credits. I understand that HC Sofa's were available from purchasing Habbo Club before credits were available, therefore were suitable to compare other rares against. I believe that Habbox needs to make an overdue change, and all rares should be valued in credits ONLY. This is especially whilst the HC Sofa is falling in value and is now 10-12 credits. Just because the HC Sofa falls in value, it brings every other value down with it, which shouldn't be the case at all. After all theres more HC TVs than there are HC Sofas, although HC Sofas are more popular, its just a complicated trading system. Imagine a HC sofa became 1c, does this mean a throne would be worth 94c at todays value?

Does anyone have any information if any changes are planned for the future.

The problem is, its not the Club sofa which is falling. It is the Credits which have risen. We are going to continue for the forseeable future valuing in Club sofa's, as with a change to credits fully would cause problems with the super market, and in turn the Throne itself.

credits are a nice way to value rares but at this time club sofas are also a necessary benchmark to value rares and super rares to ensure stability for the long run.

nice idea though!

As undertaker has said the HC sofa has not fallen, along with every other rare in habbo.

Credits have risen due to demand.

HC sofas are the best way to value other rares at the moment

I think its fascinating how values are given in a currency that so widely available, Club Sofas, yet remain so stable. I always imagined if Habbox stopped putting values on objects in Club Sofas would the price steeply fall? In that sense doesn't it mean Habbox has a say in the value of the Club Sofa, it is in fact more valuable because it is used as a currency.

Another rare could easily take over, however the reason HC's are used is because of their availability.

I mean in real life, what would be the poin in trading things for only money, if nobody had it?

I completely agree, my argument though was that by maintaining the Club Sofa as a currency, Habbox pushes up its value.

I think it would be easier for everyone to buy all trades with Credits, because at the momewnt it seems credits are for the norms & small rares, and HC's for supers and thrones

There seems to a definate devide between the 2

Sorry to bump this up but recent rises in rare values has proven that most of the people responding above were incorrect. Previously just ignored the replies because there was no point argueing. And the HC Sofa isn't simply used because of its availability, at the time it was first used it was the only thing which could really be used as currency, and has stuck ever since, which no matter what any one says, shouldn't be continued.

Why shouldn't it be continued, once the marketplace dies down HC's will rule once again. besides that they are valued in credits if you hover over them...
