let us change the color for our level
we should be able to choose any color that is for a level under us. same with number. i like the color of my level, so i might not level up anymore so the color doesnt change. it would be better if i could not worry about leveling up, and just change the color or number whenever i want

Please do a search. This has been brought up before, it's not gonna happen (at least as far as I know - I'm not in the Steam beta).

Its not in the beta, and I doubt its ever going to happen because of scamming. Sadly there are too many idiots out there who fall for the "see my steam level color is different than your, that means I work for Valve so give me your account info so that I can log in and check if your items are real or not" And yes that has happened with stuff in the past.

levels are already different colors, so that wouldnt make a difference really

They are specific colors, yes.

That's the point: changing your color can at a glance mean that some people will be confused by a high- or low-level account.

It's not gonna happen.

why would that even matter? if someone thinks your level is lower than it is?

You really don't seem to understand do you...

You are level 60. Your color is purple. Now imagine you are an idiot who doesn't know how easy it is to change the color.

Some scammer comes a long and says "I'm a steam admin, I need to check your items to see if they are real, I need your login info."
You say "you're not a steam admin"
He says, "We're both level 60 but the coloring around my number is gold, thats proof I'm a steam admin."
Or he says "I'm a level 10 account, but I have purple around my number, thats proof I'm a steam admin."

Your reply "ok oh, heres my login and password and other stuff you need to log into my account."


And again yes.... there are stupid people like that.

And that will lead to a lot of people with the number 69 or 420.... so ya really doubt thats going to happen.


Seriously just ignore it, the number means nothing anyway.

.... The NUMBER is your Steam Level.

That can only be changed by... y'know. Buying games and participating in site things, trading and making cards, etc.

You don't get to choose it. That would defeat the ENTIRE purpose of this anyway. They color coded the levels and that's pretty much that.

it wouldnt defeat the purpose really. you level up so you can get a higher number or the different colors or shapes, or for booster packs, etc. just being able to change it to a level you already earned only gives you more choice.

.... "69" and "420" were invented by people older than those working at Steam, dude. Do you think somehow that they 'missed' those? How dense are you?

The point here: Steam LEVEL will be a number earned by your participation and payment. Steam level COLOR is coded directly by the same people who decided how many points each level are worth, and what colors were likely determined by a lengthy bunch of meetings.

They're not going anywhere, either of them.
