Habbox Killed The HC

[brodeo]

Nobody killed anything, it's all about the demand for an item and its availability, in this case it's working unfavourably towards the Club Sofa.

I would LOVE to see how Habbo would adapt if Habbox, and any other Value sites assosiated with Habbo were shut down for about a week - month

People wouldnt know what to do anymore

I imagine people would use the marketplace solely as a values reference.

Most habbos (noobs) probs don't know how to.

WE ARE A GUIDE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT GET OUT.

Habbox is only a GUIDE and can never be 100% accurate. Just because we value the Club Sofa at 7c, that doesn't mean to say that YOU have to follow that because you don't have to if you don't want to

This, but it's vary rare that you will find someone (that isn't a rare reporter ) that will go along with it and not live off habbox asif it's thier life support.

Lol I reckon most noobs would just refuse to trade to begin with, while older people know what the general trends are but eventually everyone would end up relying on the Market Place like brodeo said.

Habbox has NOT killed the value of the HC. Habbo has killed the value of the HC. The rare values department are watching the value of the HC VERY closely. As -:Undertaker:- said in a previous thread that you must bare with us as we go through this difficult stage. Some things are going to be wrong.. BUT we are working on this.. So to sum up.. It's NOT habbox's fault.. It's Habbos..

The whole habbo economy is wrong and has always been.
It's not about how many of an item are in the game, it's all about how fast people want to sell it.

At first the HC was priced at 10c, then people wanted to sell them faster and went to 9c, then 9c was the normal value so they went to 8, now some go to 7 already.
The habbo normal rares economy is ruled by the masses of "stupid" people who sit in trade rooms and want to sell there furni as soon as possible.
Now if this goes on for a bit longer then HC's are going to be like Dicemasters.
HC's won't be wanted much anymore so there will be a new way which will destroy the market, either T-sofas or Majestics, or maybe people will keep undercutting eachother on the marketplace instead and ruin lots of prices.

Short version: Most prices are made by clueless players

People aren't stupid for speculating, that is how markets work in real life. If people expect a value of something to fall, they will sell for a smaller loss before the expected larger loss arrives. People who want these items benefit, as they get to grab them for a cheaper price tag. When a certain item is in demand or people expect the value to rise they will be willing to pay a little more for an item. People are expecting the value of the club sofa to drop because of both Habbo and Habbox: People are speculating Habbo will let people choose their gift and then sofas will be abundant, but are also speculating Habbox may remove the club sofa as a currency decreasing its value.

Short version: Players aren't clueless, people who intend to make profit in a trading market will determine the price of an item - regular players just follow their lead.


SOFAGATE IS TIRING ME.

I think habbo should remove the HC sofas for a few months, a year, so when they come back there value will have increased. Maybe longer if needs be.
