That’s what I used, but I haven’t used it for months so I don’t know if it still works like it used to.

Don’t leave it running if you’re playing a game though, it slows down the drop rate for cards, and you (allegedly) have the possibility of getting banned in some games.

Idling programs will save you a download, but don't make if faster exactly.

The only difference is that you can run it while you aren't at the computer.

You can also idle more games at the same time for the initial 2 hours than launching the games, especially for computers that are old and can’t handle too many games running at the same time.

But after the first 2 hours are idled, it will idle them one by one, yeah.

Keep in mind isome games will not drop cards before they reach a certain user confidence threshold.

I wasn’t aware of that, but that’s good to know. Would explain why some games take forever to drop cards while some dropped them even if I only played them for 15 minutes.

Idlemaster still works fine for me. I use it all the time. It takes a while, but it's the fastest way other than actually playing the games. Maybe just take some time to play games that you really want cards for, or if you're lazy like me, use idlemaster.

that is either all games, or none and it is for the account, not for the games.
games either have cards or they dont. games just have one droptimer that the dev can change, time per carddrop, that is it, there is not more.

and the thing for the account is 3 hours now, not 2 anymore. that is long gone.

He may be talking about the system where a game has to prove itself enough to Valve before it will drop cards for anybody.
Idle master is ok to use, easy and fast to set up, but the best method for multiple account is ASF and has many more features. I recmomend more than idle master.

But if you have one account use idle master.

You can try idling one game while you download another.

Alternatively, do what I do, which is to stop caring about this, because all the trading cards do is give you ways to get more trading cards and spend more time on Steam.

Just use Idlemaster. You don't even need to install the games - just configure the program to idle 30 games at once with the highest value cards to 3+ hours and then idle each game individually and the cards should drop easily. You may have to brute-force each individual game by skipping to the next but this can actually trigger the drops quicker than leaving the program to run itself.

idle all your games to 2 hours played with idlemaster, then manually change game every 3-5 seconds, you will get a bucketload of cards in almost no time

been a while since i used idlemaster, so unknown if this glitch was ever fixed
