Does steam level affects trust factor?

[( -_•) ̵̵̿ —]

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing good.
I am new in the game, a friend of mine told me to buy prime instead of using the free to play version since it is "infected" with cheaters, but I encountered a cheater in my first prime competitive match, after some games and research I noticed that all the cheaters/players have low steam levels, and they are new accounts kind of like mine.

So, if I boost my steam level will I get a better "trust factor"?

Also, I've read the steam trust factor article and they said that being a good "user" in the steam community will help too, that means if I make guides, artworks, start discussions or reply them, make friends, have items, etc, will I get a better trust factor?

Thanks.

Short answer: No one knows.

We don't really know because they will never directly tell us but one of the things of Trust Factor that they do pay attention to is the amount of value, and time you put into your profile. It checks to see how attached you are to the account itself.

If it's a Level 0 account with no friends or anything: probably not very trustworthy.

If it's an account like mine: 15+ years, multiple games, not just here to play CSGO - that's going to be a better Trust Factor variable.

We are never told exactly how it works but as someone who's: written some guides, some reviews, has years of comments on the profile, many posts on forums without bans, etc - my Trust Factor has always been green/good.


This isn't to say if you just buy a ton of cards and craft your way from level 15 to 40 you'll be THAT much more Trust Worthy - it's probably not a huge factor in the overall scheme but we honestly will never know for sure.

I still come across new accounts occasionally but it might help.

Hey there and nice that you got csgo!

To your thread:
Steam level doesn't increase your tf. Same with guides, artworks etc.
We tested it out over more than one year now on different accounts and it didn't change anything at all.

With "beeing a good user" it's meant that you shouldn't get bans or cooldowns.

You also start with a high tf in the first place. For example this account right here has a pretty good trust factor and it's not even one year old and hasn't many hours. The steam level was level 1 or something like that before the steam summer sale where it was easy and basically free to boost a lot of level.

Keep in mind that there a lot of good player in this game and it could look like cheat for a new player. It's quite usual that people create new accounts to beat new / lower skilled player because it's fun to them, but they don't cheat. So maybe your tf isn't low but face some of those people (called smurfs).

Hope you still enjoy the game and I hope that you won't face many cheater or smurfs.

Yes, those things probably do matter, but what u really want to do is, do a lot of overwatch cases, don't grief don't get reported or kicked and don't abandon and you should be good. If you have a bad trust factor, play about 10 games where u have been a good teammate, win/loss won't matter and dont get reported.

Or you're just so horrible player that you think every other player is cheating? They're just better than you lmao

players skills has nothing to do with others cheating, amount of bans / month tell the reality of the game, cheaters are out there on masses and most of them never get bans.

Levels, no. Easy to gain them through level up bots.

Focus on few things
1. Don't report players who give you headshots, with practice you will also learn how to give headshots (By reporting fair players you actually decrease your Trust Factor)
2. Be nice to everyone
3. Don't get cooldowns
4. Don't abandon Competitive Matches
5. Don't get kicked
6. Don't be toxic
In short be a positive member of the community

Kinda hard to do that when your in low trust factor, I feel like its a loophole because there are so many cheaters and if you report them it actually lowers your trust factor.

reports only lower your trsutaftor in your reports if they are false most of the time , anything else wouldnt make sense to me
