I will credit Habbox for being a huge reason behind the "fortune" I managed to create because of their inflated rare values. When I used to make posts in the Rare value section I would even state when I managed to make 4-5 thrones that day from buying discos at 2 thrones because Habbox had them listed at that. I was buying them for 2 and selling to others for 4 thrones for around a week. Even after stating that in my reports the Disco never managed to reach a value of 4 thrones on the rare page and they remained at 2 thrones for over a week, so thanks to that I probably made around 20 thrones off buying discos for an incredily low price during that timespan.

I think it is obvious that Habbox affects the values in some way - that is bound to happen if so many people use it. In real life this happens to, which is why the economy and go out of control if the government don't try to control it with interest rates. I dont think anyone high up in Habbox would deny that.

Despite you saying we haven't made any improvments recently, we have actually changed the whole system. After the point of reporting values, most of the stuff has changed.

For example, we now have a PHP rare values system that I made. It allows people that sierk decides to update the values without having administration access to the whole site - like Cutenews does for reporters. Benifits include:

1). sierk no longer has to update the values, meaning that instead of them being updated maybe once every 3 days sometimes, they can be updated loads of times a day by Oggy.
2). Because it is done by PHP, a lot of the information can be updated automatically. For example, hovering your mouse over a specific rare shows when that individual rare was updated.
3). On the system we can select rares to show on the homepage if lots of people want one specific value. We figure that just as many people come to Habbox for its values, as it's news, so why not have both on the homepage?
4). Comments can be added on each rare to say things like the DJ Decks did like "This rare value has dropped a lot because there is a rumour it is coming out in the catalogue.
5). We can advertise good rare trade rooms.
6). Loads of other things that I just can't think of.

We were discussing the RV department the other day, and were saying that it makes a nice change the have rare trade rooms and furni shops advising people to use our values. There are also very few complaints at the moment, compared to what there used to be.

This is what sierk means by "it's nonsense blah blah". We have made loads of improvments recently, and people seem to be fine with everything at the moment.

I personally dnt have any Regrets over any actions i take in the Rare values departments, as i feel they have all been beneficial.

The majority of this thread has now turned into an outburst of anguish, and i'm fine with that, but when you consider That most of the official fansites [ if not all of them ] Dnt have a Rare Values Chart, it makes you wonder does it not?

Now, im not 1 to argue, and this will be no exception, because it has made me laugh.
I haven't seen 1 good point come out of it until 8freak8's last post. [ tht's including my own ]

If you want us to improve, you give us some ideas then, we're not super humans, we're average peopel like everyone else on this forum
