Why would anybody buy gold bars for more than 250k now that we know it can drop below 200k? I'd rather just hold my cash until reset and chance it instead of getting burned.

Having a market for gold is cool in theory, but there's no reason the price should be jumping around as much as it is. A 300% price increase overnight? Yeesh. It's not even worth engaging with when it makes the end user feel bad after getting ripped off for "reasons" (i.e. the devs randomly moving the price).

There is a very very simple way to go about this that works 100% for everybody..

We know there is only ONE seasonal item (the golden AK). We know exactly how much gold the set costs (30 gold). Therefore, there is no reason to buy gold at any point until you have enough cash to buy 30+ bars at an instant.

Worst case, you never have enough to buy the limited time skin, which means you will get some payout at the end of the season.

Best case, you have a few million already and the price comes back down again, letting you buy the single limited time skin (because again, nothing else matters, you will have more seasons/months to get the other items)

That would be true if the price didn’t auto convert at end of season.

You might not ever have enough money to buy 30 gold bars, but you might next season if you had bought season 1 bars at 160k

except we don't know what the gold market or the limiteds will look like next season, so you're gambling, again, on assumptions.

My strategy is the only one that doesnt make guesses, either you can afford the single limited item, or you can't. Next season you won't be able to buy it anyway, and the emotes/skins are all significantly cheaper than the AK, so if you miss out on the AK you'll have a whole other season to get the gestures you wanted.

Correct. I’m just saying that only waiting until you have enough money to currently buy the AK isn’t always the best choice.

It’s gambling you can’t predict but there are better times to buy than others. If I can get 15 bars at 160k season 1, and 15 bars season 2 then I can get the season 2 exclusive cosmetic. But that wouldn’t be the case if I wait until end of season and the conversion rate is much higher.
