I honestly don't know what raises your steam level. I've never cared to even look at mine.
>>343146934
here's what steamdb gives
probably not too accurate
>>343146993
i'm level 10 with a 12 year old steam account and could not give less of a fuck
>>343147181
crafting cards into badges, doing event achievements, and sucking gabes cock
>>343147181
You know those worthless cards you get when you do random shit in the Steam summer sales and such?
People dump them in the Steam market for 7 cents each
People like this guy buy them by the LITERAL FUCKING TENS OF THOUSANDS and craft them all into XP.
Steam takes 2 cents for each card that is sold this way.
Yes, it's that easy to milk autists from their money.
>level 8
>8 years old account
Not bad.
>>343147181
>>343147387
Just to make sure everyone understands, all Valve has to do is create more cards that have literally no real value, they self-circulate themselves in the Steam community market and generate 2 cents each.
They are LITERALLY printing themselves money, and dumbshits like the guy in the OP buy it up
>>343147198
>games not played
>62% out of over 5k games
>>343147504
I wonder how much real money has been taken out of existence to circulate in valve's monopoly money on steam
i legitimately hate the steam market sometimes
emoticons that have absolutely no meaning or look really shitty are worth 20-30 bucks, maybe even more, just because they're "rare"
it's so incredibly stupid to me
>>343147680
No money is taken out of existence
PalmDesert spends 7 cents
juanito.zuares98 gets 5 cents
Valve gets 2 cents
>>343147760
And out of those 5 cents juanito gets, some are going back to valve
>>343147336
>>343147387
>>343147504
That's pretty fucking stupid.
Let's see those levels and badges guys.
>>343147567
To be fair I doubt 1/4th of them are worth playing. There's a lot of shovelware on Steam.
>>343147913
Valve already took ALL money involved when it was "deposited" into Steam wallet (aka, traded for Valve funbucks)
The 2 cents cut is them just burning your funbucks so you'll have to buy more
>>343147198
not accurate because he buys cards, that's only his game value
>>343148004
This is the furthest level I'll will get.
>the only worthwhile exclusive on PC is fucking spending money on digital cards
>>343146764
What is this wannabe e-celeb bullshit?
>>343146764
I just use steam to play video games, so I'm probably going to be level 8 forever.

How does he have that much disposable income?
>>343146764
He basically spent 70k on just the summer badge
Crafted 7,000 badges. Each of them cost $1 a pop on avarage.
>>343149121
It does take seconds, maybe 10 seconds for each badge. And considering he has +4000 lvl badges, that's a LOT of wasted time.
I trully hope he gets a prize of some sort for this.

No, but you don't get it... in order to make such a badge, you ahve to CRAFT IT 11.000 TIMES

>>343150086
Nobody cared about him until steam released trading cards.
i like the badges, neat little e-souvenirs from your favorite games. i don't get why people level them to like 5,000,000 though or buy bargain bin indie shit just to have cards, but whatever, to each their own.

That's only the money spent on games, which only give 1 xp for their purchase. The majority of exp comes from crafting badges with cards.
His inventory is filled with over 60,000 cards. Each of those cards varies in resale value from a few cents to enough to buy an indie title on sale.Thank god there's guys like him pushing up the price of cards.

Evidently it isn't. A good chunk of western games DO see PC releases in Japan. I reckon the reason they don't is because Jap pubs don't want to stop the 80 bucks for a new game gravy train that consoles allowed them to have for decades.

I feel like Valve should at least do something special for this guy. God knows how much money he's spent on his level.
He's been #1 Steam level practically ever since Steam levels came out and I think it'd be a really sad thing is Valve has completely ignored him for this entire time.

I guess that's his goal?
Does he even have a goal?

if you've ever sold cards, look at your market history
has palmdesert ever bought cards from you?
he bought like 10 of my summer sale cards. i contributed to this.
1020 now. How the fuck. Is he just idling in-game while crafting literal hundreds of badges?

m8 I'm not going through all of this just for your post

Yes. Welcome to the eternal void of the human soul.
But by reaching level 1000, isn't his booster pack drop rate incredibly high?
I heard that if you reach level 60, cards drop every week.
He can make some money back you know.
Not even kidding. If Valve want's to acknowledge this guy, they should just have a badge called PalmDesert exclusive for when you get to 1000.

well I'll be dipped
>>343155193
Huh... figures
>>343155214
Why would they want to?
It's thanks to Valve Palmdesert get acknowledged.
>>343148832
The fuck? You'd need like 10 000xp to level up just once at his level.
>>343155193
I'm not sure he sells them. He might just buy the remaining cards from the pack to craft yet another badge.
I also don't know if Valve would keep that drop rate for this high a level. If so he's getting packs everyday, possibly several times a day.

He can make some Steambux* back.
The fuck can he do with Steambux other than fund his Steam level addiction?

forgot pic
he also bought one from me during the winter holiday sale
im sure if I keep going back he'll pop up again
>>343155193
I doubt it's that frequent, I'm level 33 and it's been about a year since my last booster pack.
Woah I just realised something.
How much space do you figure his emoticon page takes up when he opens it in a chat like this?

According to this, he has 20*(1000/10) = 1000% more to get random card than a person below level 10.
I don't know if it applies for a level that high though.

Or he can buy a key card and resell it with a cheaper price than steam.
You know, like how G2A is doing.
>>343155378
Buy codes and sell them in G2A?
Who cares about your level. Post your Steam's creation date
Madman is still going!
