IMC, please create a cap for TP token refunds before Tuesday
It’s good and all that IMC is refunding people for tokens and is changing the price of them. However, the fact that IMC said “99 TP per Token being used or possessed (according to the conditions above): sent directly to each eligible team’s Inventory” rubs me the wrong way.
I feel that this can (or most likely has already) been vastly exploited so that people can gain massive amounts of free TP by maintenance next week. For example, someone with 10 tokens is going to get 990 TP to spend on whatever they want. That sounds really amazing but to the rest of the people that didn’t buy into the token market because they didn’t realize its value or were too poor in game to do so are losing out.
The biggest issue for getting 99 TP per token is the what the players will use that TP on. For example, buying up massive amounts of hats and enchant scrolls to RNG the hell out of hats and possibly manipulate the market with them. And that’s not counting the tokens that are able to be resold after maintenance (that is, if they can). I feel that just these two things can hurt the game’s already poor economic system. This most likely will only affect it in the short term, but no one really knows how long that “short term” will last.
So, the main point I’m trying to get across is to limit the TP token refund to say, 3 or 4 tokens at most. Not something ridiculous like 7 or 20 tokens.
I know a lot of people may not agree with me, especially those who spent a lot on buying all the tokens they could from the market while they were cheap or when they found out how they could exploit IMC’s solution to token prices. That’s fine though. I just wanted to voice my feelings on this matter. If enough people actually feel the same way I do then I truly hope IMC will correct this before maintenance on Tuesday so people don’t start rolling in TP and silver by manipulating the market like this.
You know the saying – the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Side note: Since people are gaining TP for tokens owned after next maintenance, I wonder if this was an intentional marketing strategy to get people to buy the veteran’s package on steam. It includes a tradeable token so the package is a bit more worth that $35 dollars (USA price) now with that upcoming 99 TP bonus. 
Thanks for reading, I’d like to know your opinions and how you feel about this matter.
UPDATE: Due to the massive split between both arguing sides, I decided to create a straw poll. It’s been very interesting to see everyone’s side of the argument.
