It has nothing to do with admins. I'm talking about player to player TC sales

^ here's the only source. Very most TC sales come from people who also sell TC on market
see their balance decrease, that's the TC sold
People sell TC in market, because they have to. Otherwise they don't get enough exposure to sell their "millions".

No, it's from
items forum If you want more precise data, spot the sell threads and then go over those persons transactions. Large amount of TC sent away to other person w/o items got for it indicates a TC-sell.
Then bulk it up a bit, if you believe people who don't post TC sell threads on market sell TC as well, which is a minority of people (if any, last month).

Top right corner. Also, somebody made a graph of toribash ingame activity. Now it's more like 280? I won't search that thread for you, tho, too much work.
Well,
I don't get your critique. Why do you think an estimated based on actual items forum and actual player count number by someone who actually sells TC (at cheap rate, btw, so much buy offers go to me) is worse than
NOT estimating numbers to work with?
You talk about income report. See, if you didn't realize. There's no income report to be built, Toribash money circulation is too little for me to care about it. Like I say, it's less than some Joe makes. Not only if Joe's a Google employee, but even if he's your regular junior programmer.
