Booster Pack

[Excrescence]

Hey Guys, I wonder that if anyone here has this problem ?

I am eligible for booster pack i have always been, but almost for one year, I haven't gotten any booster pack even popular games' boooster packs not dropped.

Note: My level is 104 so my booster pack lucky is high as well.

is there anyone with a solution or smthng else ?

[MalikQayum]

you are only eligible for booster pack drops for the games you own. If you own games that are widely popular / owned by a lot of people, that pool gets wider. while you may have level 100+ you are still going to have a hard time getting something because the odds are not in your favor.

There is no "solution". A low chance is a low chance.

There is a solution. Increase your Steam level and buy lots of games which offer trading cards. Case in point, I am getting a booster pack once every 34 to 36 hours.

[Excrescence]

There are popular games as well, What I don't understand is that i was gaining booster packs 1 year ago but it stopped somehow.

Reason being, there are more people who have a higher Steam level than you compared to one year ago. Thus, your chances will drop. 6 years ago, with your Steam level being about 100, getting at least a booster pack per week would be no problem. But that is not the case now.

I predict that within 10 years, Steam levels of over 500 will be common place, so it would be harder to get a booster pack.

yeah, it makes sense now ,thanks @blancflower

booster packs. it pretty much comes to the games as well, the more popular the game and the more badges is being crafted, the more likely you get booster pack. Yes your level comes into play, the higher, the better, but of course how many profiles do you see which is 100+ already? I dont know if this also plays a role but i made sure few months ago that i have all (and i do mean all) of my games card drops dropped, and from there i must have received between 6 and 9 booster packs in a space of about 2 months

Lots of people care more about the XP than the badge. You will get more booster packs for unpopular games that happen to have cheap cards.

[Quint the Alligator Snapper]

Most of the games on that list of yours are relatively obscure games that probably don't get much activity.

This. About 75% of the booster packs that I've ever received have been for a game that was given away free at some point, allowing for massive card farming, and making the badges really cheap.

Doesn't the card drop rate stop at level 100 though? At 100 it doubles and I haven't seen Steam say anything about higher levels after that.

it continues to increase. but with the booster pack i think it is also kind of supply and demand (if i can say that)

[crunchyfrog]

It works like this.

The fact you are ELIGIBLE for Booster packs on a certain game is only the first step. The key part is that you go "in the pot" with ALL the other users who have that game and have earned all their cards for that game (being elgibile too).

And a Booster Pack is ONLY generated once someone else crafts a badge in that game. Then it generates and dishes it out to one of you lucky ones in that pool - simples, no?


You see how it works now? There's obvious reasons why you won't see a Booster Pack for ages, if ever, and other reasons why you might see more than one.

It all boils down to how popular the game is, how many people are still activae in fiddling with cards and badges, and so on.

For example, when this all started, I would get a Booster Pack of some game roughly every week - because obviously, everybody was keen to mess around with it across the board on all games.

Now, I've returned after a 5 year absence, at the end of March, and I saw I had one Booster Pack waiting to be opened and I've had nothing since, and it's not surprising why. Because now it's fragmented more - more games are out, less people will be actively engaged as it's not such a nerw thing, and certain games will largely be "dead" in activity, regardless of whether they're being played.

You really have to think about ALL these factors.

If you want to earn new cards to increase your pool for trades and so on, a great way to do it is to nose through the Humble Bundles, Indie Gala and so on - the beauty of these is they're dirt cheap games, and not only that bu tif YOU'RE buying them cheap and then playing them, MANY others will be doign too, so you have a greater chance of earning Boosters if you get to them straight away.

You see?
