The Alpine Stalker's Set [Ursa]

[ᴅᴛʜ]

Just wondering if how could this Ursa set cost much than Arcanas.

[Hempest]

Its worth a lot because its super rare, it got removed from the game so you can only get it from other players now.

Then how did those players got that set though? Is it some kind of reward or special purchase?

[MY DIET DR. KELP]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it was given in a TI or some other tournament (Which would be why, you see mainly pro players with the set, if they have it at all).

It was sold at the market some years ago. then one day, steam just remove their alpine stock from the market bcz the community thinks this alpine set is too thematic and ugly

It is an old set that nobody can get it anymore. I believe this set was released during the early beta stages of dota. I don't know how they got the set, but you can get them anymore unless you get it from other players. That is why they cost so much.

Back when cosmetics had standards they released the set, people bought it, then the community (who also used to have standards) complained about it enough to get it removed, making it obscenely rare.
(i bought cat drow hoping the same would happen)

[Senri]

It is ugly though.
Ursa's set the one with braided hair or something is the best so far, imho.

And YES, that cat set of drow is just so gorgeous. :3

Basically people said "boo! ursa looks like a cowboy! ursa isn't supposed to look like a cowboy! it doesn't fit into his lore! booooooooooooo!"

So valve said "well screw it" and removed it from the store. Soon after that they changed the rarity of the set to "immortal" so that it couldn't drop.

Skip ahead a few years and it's one of the most expensive (if not THE most expensive) items in the game.

And the dumbest part about the whole thing is that now if you go on the market there's loads of stuff that doesn't match lore. There's a set that makes sniper looks like a rockstar. there's a taunt that makes zeus jump like mario. there's a hairstyle that makes invoker look like goku. there's a set that makes necrophos look like an egyptian god. but how dare ursa look like a cowboy.

In that case, we'll start collecting these items and screw Valve. Hahah! I'm Goku.

Actually, to give a little more information, their was a set time when it was accidently droppable. After this event then it became immortal

[HMH]

and iam from the small amount of people who bought it in 2012 it was 8$ i think which now it cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and i still have it , it was accidently dropped in 2014
