Alright here's what happened with slippers. So, this morning, there was a group of people who were trying to get slippers to go up. So a lot of people were providing screenshots of all the "overtrades" they got. Some which the user was edited out of. Now, nobody's sure if that was just because it was a backup that traded them or they didn't want anyone else to take their offer. But, the worth of the slippers was then changed from 2.5-3 black longs to 3-3.5. And then there were other people who kept saying they were getting offered even more than that so more screenshots were provided and then the worth was changed again to 3-3.5 to 3.5-4 black longs. Now this is where people started to flip. There is no way in hell an item can go up by 2 whole flipping black longs in less than an hour. So, as soon as people found out slippers went up to 4, everyone was rushing to trade them away for that much at the same time. But not everyone was willing to trade that much. It kinda turned into what happened to Cool Banners. Everyone wanted to get rid of them all at once. Not to mention there were people stupid enough to ask for 5. I guess people got tired of everyone constantly asking for so much for their slippers, so then undertrades started to be accpted. Yes, there's some people who did get 4 for slippers, but that is if you were lucky. If you were smart enough, in a situation like this, you should've traded your slippers for the highest you got and then got it later when they go down. There's no way slippers are even gonna go back up after this. Ironically, one of the people (not naming who), who provided proof that slippers went "up", and other people started commenting "slippers ft! accepting a good long under!". Which is why the worth went down from 4 to 3.5. Because people had a hard time getting 4 so they desperatly accepted undertrades. This is why the rarity system is so trash. You have people who will do everything just to make profit, even if it means lying for their own benefit. Regardless, the worth should't have been changed so many times either without a decent amount of proof. This, kids, is why you don't mess around like this. You never know what'll happen. And to all those people who were arguing before that slippers are gonna go up, I told you so. I told you that this phase will be over soon. And look, it didn't even make a full day.
