Steam Guard and Cooldown Problem
Who is actually enjoying obligatory Steam Guard? I had numerous problems with it recently. Each time i changed my phone number or log in from a different device or just log in from my own computers web browser or i travelled to a different country, I had to enable Steam Guard again and each time i did it, Steam forced me to wait a 15 days cooldown before selling in the Community Market, sometimes i wasn't even allowed to buy any items or games. 15 days????
This is so dumb. It happens so many times that i can't even enjoy Steam anymore. I believe a lot of users sharing this opinion with me. Steam has to do something with it.Decrease the cooldown time ( 15 days, really???? ) or make Steam Guard optional. I'm sure that people will get enough of this nonsense and start using different platforms other than Steam.

I think this is to reduce scams, also I think you can still buy games, and I doubt there's a platform that has what steam has, and does what steam does?.

You can still play most of the games without using Steam.Yes,Steam has no match among recent platforms but would it be an excuse of ignoring a problem which causes lot of troubles to many users? I can't sell my items which is a feature of Steam isn't it? What's up with the 15days cooldown? Is this normal? Some items value decreases so much during 15 days.

SteamGuard adds a 15 day wait for various reasons.

Also maybe just keep SteamGuard on at all times? You shouldn't really need to turn it off.

I haven't had a single issue with SteamGuard when I turned it on.
