How's the idling going?
Im done femme. Took me about 270 hours.
>>345443897
>>345444024
this is pathetic
>>345444097
Not as pathetic as this post.
>>345444024
For how many games? Shit takes mad time.
>>345444238
about 60
>>345443897
>used to get 1 or 2 card packs in a month
>now I'm lucky if I get 1 card pack in half a year
What happened?
>>345444340
I've never had one
>>345443897
What do you guys do with the cards? Ever since release their prices have actually gone up from .02 cents to like .05 cents each and popular ones being like .12
Are you guys just selling them? Whats the plan here?
>>345444426
I am wondering this as well.
The time spent clicking through the market is worth less than minimum wage.
Is it the joy of getting something back after spending money? It's certainly not profitable.
>>345444426
I sold the most expensive ones, making 10€ and just hoard the ones that are under 5ct.
>>345444517
>Is it the joy of getting something back after spending money?
I must admit, I've found myself buying things I don't need a lot more often after discovering Ebates.
>>345443897
Give me ONE reason why it's worth it. Even being a wageslave gets you more money than that.
>>345444760
Why not? You just start the programm (idle_master) and then just fuck off and do other shit, you even can play other Steam games. Literally no reason not to do this.
>>345444426
Well ever since people found out about palmdessert there have been communities and circlejerks that are dedicated to inflating steam level.
OP has 1162 card drops left, at 0.05 each he's looks at around $60 for doing nothing.
>>345444426
Sometimes you get rare drops. I basically got Undertale for free because I sold the cards for 10 bucks.
>>345444024
I don't speak nazi.
>>345444760
You can have it running and go to work
You can still play other games while it's running
It's just advised not to have it running when playing games with VAC enabled, but people have said it didn't ban them regardless.
I don't do it anymore, I buy items to turn into gems to craft boosters to resell at a profit.
I don't need the pocket change but it feels good to be able to get the backgrounds and badges I want without spending my own money.
>>345444878
haha xD
>>345444878
The translation is right there above the post and the rest is in English. You are just a fucking dumbass.
>>345444340
Stop being a no level poorfag. Steam level directly correlates with the chance of getting a pack drop.
>>345444878
Idling complete is the only thing you need to see in this picture.Heil Hitler!
I leave this on and go to work. I barely even use my account as it is, may as well get some money back on the 200+ games I've bought and never so much as glanced at.
>>345444760
Budding entrepreneurs who want to try out their l337 skills on a simulated stock market.
And just like the real stock market, it's all automated by computers with algorithms.
It's kinda cute.
>>345444957
Holy shit calm the fuck down, Hans. Don't get your swastika and the nazi uniform out of the closet just yet.
>>345444958
Doesn't explain how I'm not getting anything at all nowadays when previously I got at least 1 a month.
Also I'm 21.
>>345444340
the more games you have and the higher level you are the more packs you get.
i have 250+ games and level 20, i get about 1 pack per week.
also, for some reason Idle Master stopped working for me so now i'm using ASR.
+ don't need to install the games to idle
- can't play other games while idling (might be a configuration issue)
>>345445003
Nothing in the steam market is reflective of actual stock markets, closest would be the Chinese exchange, but that's just like monopoly money anyways. You will learn absolutely nothing from Steam to go out and be an actual broker. You're better off going to school and getting sponsored for your series 6.
>>345445158
Google yielded nothing, what's ASR?
>tfw i haven't paid for any of my rocket league expansions and i still have 9€ on my steam wallet
i wish i had found about this shit sooner
>>345443897
>>345444958
>>345445158
People make steam the game and don't play video games anymore. This is the mongoloid society we live in today, Sesame Credit please end the world already.
>>345443897
don't make threads like this, last thing we want is this shit becoming popular and have valve deal with it and fucking everything up.
>>345445095
Except it does, you got lucky once or twice and it won't happen again with the same frequency.
>>345445471
>he thinks that idling stops you from playing videogames
holy shit you sound as uninformed as one of those bitches who complain about what mobile phones did to modern society.
>>345445460
>buying rocket league cars
kek
>>345445471
Cry me a river, grandpa.
>>345445650
bought them in the sale, and there's literally nothing else worth getting on steam that i don't already have right now, at least with rocket league i'm using the cars every day.
>>345445158
>the more games you have and the higher level you are the more packs you get.
>i have 250+ games and level 20, i get about 1 pack per week.
I think you're lying.
I have been 800+ games and level 21 since the card thing started, but I just got my first and only booster pack 2 months ago.
>>345445797
>I have been 800+ games and level 21 since the card thing started, but I just got my first and only booster pack 2 months ago.
yeah
i'm the one lying...
>>345445797
>level 20, i get about 1 pack per week.
Each 10 levels you get 20% increase in the drop rate, 50ish levels give 100% increase.
>>345445471
>Idle
>Get cards
>Sell cards
>Get emone
>Buy games
>Play games
>>345443897
I don't want my account being stolen
>>345445935
But what's the initial drop rate?
100% increase of 0.000001 is still fuck all.
>>345445895
do you want to die?
>>345446036
yeah, don't do it, they will take all your real money as well.
it's all a scam to install viruses on your computer and steal your videogames
>>345445797
I have about 1000 games, at level 30 and get about a pack each month
>>345446116
i didn't say you were lying about the games and level you dipshit
i said you're lying about only getting your first booster pack 2 months ago since the cards exist.
that's obviously a load of bullshit.
>>345446093
It all depends on the number of crafted badges.
>>345443897
farmed all ~600 cards in last week
FEELS GOOD MAN
now i have 630 cards to sell fucking hell
>>345446310
but its not a lie. if it was, don't you think I'd be a higher level due to having enough cards to make packs? It was for Stealth Inc. 2, that was the only pack i've received. if you want I can go through my inventory and show you how for most games i only have 3-5 cards.
>>345446116
Are you going to craft the badge for Cloudbuilt?
>foil card drop
>instant sell on market
>some dumb cunt buys it
>it does nothing but be shiny
???
>>345446383
u one of those guys with shitloads of alt accounts?
people like you are going to fuck the system up and call too much attention to this shit, faggot.
>>345446408
> don't you think I'd be a higher level due to having enough cards to make packs
i meant make badges.
>>345446419
probably not. I don't buy cards, skins, weapon crates or any of that bullshit. the only way i'd make a badge is if i had all of the cards given to me, and since i don't get booster packs that ain't gonna happen. I just like playing games man.
>>345446501
lol i have 500+ games on my main account and 100+ games on my alt russian account which i made since valve became more restricted with region locks, i haven't bought a single game from main account in a year but bought 100 games on Ru
Why would people do this? You'll only lose money once the power bill drops on your doormat.
Is idlemaster legit?
Bit sketchy logging into it
>>345446805
mommy pays the power bill
also i'm always on the computer anyway, changes nothing
>>345446805
you do that shit while you play other games, shit runs in the background and barely uses any resources.
>>345446672
Too bad, wanted to trade for a wallpaper from this game.
>>345446805
There's really no point in idling if you're not doing something on your pc at the same time
>>345446490
I bought a few foil cards to craft a foil badge to see what it is and if it does anything different, like if its animated on your profile like a .gif or something
It may have cost me ~15 Steambux.
>>345446917
i'm guessing it just gives more XP than a normal badge?
>>345446917
could have just googled
>>345446835
100% legit, they're in fact using the real steam login like many other third-party programs
anybody who cares about achievements or anything like achievements, has a brain disease
>>345446835
The page you are prompted to enter your acc information in is literally transmitted over valve's servers and it's not a lookalike.
>>345446986
Fun things are fun and no one knows why
>>345446986
>he thinks this shit is about achievements
kek
>>345446964
not really, each level gives you 100 xp, so if you get level 5 you get 500 xp, while foil only gives you 100 xp
>>345446835
even if they steal your password they can't to do anything without mobile phone so who cares
>>345446964
>>345447094
i heard it gives you higher chance of getting uncommons/rares but idk if it's just a rumor
>>345446967
I bet you use guides for games too.
No fun allowed.
>>345444340
>>345445158
>>345445797
>>345446281
I have a little over 500 games and I'm level 56 and I get a pack every week to 2 weeks normally. It all depends on how many badges are being crafted.
>>345447094
well that's kinda useless then
Thanks for reminding me that I still need to get the cards from the games that I got from the summer sale.
>>345447176
You find spending 15 bucks on a pointless virtual item fun?
Alright.
>>345443897
Idled 700 cards, bought D44M and DS3 with my """""free""""" money.
It's okay.
>>345447220
Of course they are, they're just bragging rights.
>>345447256
I find discovering things fun. A pity that you don't.
>>345447379
That's a really unfun thing to discover.
where do you people get your shitty games for cards from?
i know about that subreddit with the giveaways, is there any other place?
>>345447446
/v/ during christmas
>>345447406
Sometimes you discover a big fat fucking nothing, and its a let down. Other times you discover something awesome, and it feels great.
Gotta have some sour with the sweet.
>tfw my steam idle master stopped working becausse it suddenly stopped liking the underscore in the name of the directory it was in
wat
>>345445423
He misspelled something.
>people that leave their gayming PCs on to idle for them and go to work
you're paying more for the electricity than you're getting back, you morons
>>345447814
>Doing only this on your PC
You're the idiot that assumes this makes your PC inoperable.
>>345447814
haven't heard anyone in the thread saying they did that.
>>345447814
Not unless you cap the CPU frequency and turn off the peripherals, you're not.
>>345445797
I've got 400 games and level 20, only had 1 booster pack myself, over a few years, so don't know what you guys are chatting, although I hardly ever play any games anymore.
>>345447814
>playing some American Truck Simulator with country music radio in the background while farming cards
you'll never know that feel
>>345447875
You're the idiot here, faggot.
I never said it makes your PC inoperable.
i'm pretty sure steam already explained that you get boosters only for games that you already got all your cards in and only when someone crafts a badge from that game.
>>345448361
You implied it by saying people leave their PC on to do this. Nobody does this, only somebody that assumes this takes your PC away, or that it takes a really long uninterrupted time would say that.
>>345444821
Yeah just leave your computer to idle for 6 hours to collect a total of 15 cents.
???
That's the most retarded shit I've heard.
>>345448072
if you won't farm all cards from game you won't be able to drop any booster packs from that game, and if you have 400 games and haven't farmed anything it's just sad
>>345448517
It's better than not getting 15 cents mate. Also, generally you get slightly more. Like 10 cents per card, multiple cards in 6 hours.
>>345448517
With fuck off and do other shit he probably ment do other stuff on his PC. There is literally no reason not to do it.
>>345448793
Those people are retarded then. General use is to use it when you have the PC on anyway.
>>345448710
Jesus fuck, dead giveaway that your mother pays for your bills.
>get 15 cents
>lose 2 dollars
>success!
>>345448872
>>lose 2 dollars
What? How do I lose 2 dollars? Are you implying I don't use my PC right now?
>>345444836
>doing nothing
>have to run a program and computer
>this costs money for internet, games, and electricity + esoteric wear on hardware components
>then to get steambux out of it you have to click up things for sale
>takes anywhere from 5-15 seconds per card
>even at the most generous 5 seconds per card that's 96 minutes of work for $60
>at a more believable 10 seconds per card transaction that's 3 hours of work
>at a realistic level where some cards won't sell and will sit for a while having to be re-listed thats 15-20 seconds
>now you're looking at several hours, maybe even 6 hours of work for 60 measly bux of "free" money
>>345448872
>All utilities, regardless of how much I use them, are included in my rent
Feels good.
>>345448942
>leave your computer to idle
>meaning the computer is on and you're not using it
>actively paying for every kWh of electricity
>while getting fuckall in return
>>345448872
>2 dollars
The electricity bill for my small server is under $20 per month.
Leaving your PC on to play music, download torrents and idle Steam while you do chores around the house, read a book, bathe or nap isn't costing you 2 dollars per card earned.
>>345448994
Guess what, it's all calculated beforehand.
Doesn't matter if you use them more than you normally would, they're still profiting on every single one.
My mom does this with her 2 flats she inherited.
>>345449026
>>leave your computer to idle
>>meaning the computer is on and you're not using it
That's not necessary though, I assumed you used it in the way that was said initially. I didn't think you'd move the goalposts to something that nobody sane does.
I am using my computer. I'm not losing 2 dollars.
>>345449182
>that nobody sane does
You have examples of that even in this thread.
>>345449179
I'm sure they are, it's a university apartment complex so I'm positive they're making a fucking killing off of each and every one of us.
>>345449254
I'm implying those people aren't sane.
>>345449292
>university
If college wouldn't be profitable for the people that run them, they woudn't exist.
Everything has to turn a profit in capitalism, if it doesn't, it ceases to exist.
That's why blacks survive only on welfare in socialist countries.
How do I increase my chances of a booster pack besides getting badges and leveling up?
I'm already eligible for 3 games and log in every day.
>>345448987
Also that's not even taking into account that you still have to mine the cards by idling. Even some kinda crazy generous figure like 30 minutes per card, you're looking at 500 hours or 3 weeks real time to get that $60 worth of cards.
>>345445595
>once or twice
More like at least 12 times in a row.
If it happens on a regular basis in ceases to be simple luck, fyi.
>>345445797
What's going on in that picture?
