Steam Levels (how many people @ each level)

[Punk Monk]

The calculation I keep seeing people use to understand if you are likley to get a booster pack drop never seems to factor in other people at the same or hight level than you.

I think that this might be just because I can't seem to find a breakdown of how many people there are at each level.

For levels 1 - 100 what are the percentage of players @ those levels?

[CinthyaBunny]

At least 90-95% of users (a guess) are between level 0 and 100

right but that does no tell you how many people you are competing with @ each level for drops..

If I'm lvl 40 but 70% of people who have levels are above 50 then this would add to the calculation as they would suck up all the cards.

We need actual numbers for correct calculations... Percentage of people @ each lvl up to lvl 100

then people above 100.. this would alow us to see the numbers that no one is talking about now.


What ever your level if 90% of people have a higher level you need to factor that in.

+ @ every single game. the drawpool is different for every single game.

overall lvl just does 2 things. give you more entries in the drawing pool and lower the drop cooldown.

so easy solution, get in more pools, then level is nearly irrelevant to receive regular drops.

The percentage is higher. Considering there are about 175 million Steam accounts and about 4,200 accounts which are more than Level 100, the percentage is 0.0024% or 99.9976% of users who are below Level 100.

How did you determine that?

by making stuff up

the amount of players over level 100 he probably gets from one of multiple 3rd party ranking websites for this stuff like steamladder.com , which includes the profiles ON REQUEST, so there are a lot more.

dunno where he gets the 175 million accounts, because we are well over 300 million accounts

76561198003730573 that is your id, that number is incremental for every new account and there is an actual first one that is used for steam:
76561197960265730, alfred, Valve employee.

so you are the 40 millionth-ish account that registered on steam. if you add 300 million to your number plus one you will find an account which was registered on may 12th 2016. how many of those accounts are actively used is another question but there are definately more accounts then 175 million.

I'm level 40 (10,000 xp), and its about top 16.1% of the world, top 16.3% in the country, and top 16.5% in my region.

Since I am 163,202 in the world, using math we can find that about 1,000,000 people use steam with unprivate accounts.

[zephyr]

100,000 xp is about top 1% in the world

They do not compete.
When someone crafts a badge for Game XY then everyone eligible for Game XY gets an RNG for drop or no drop. Otherwise my droprate of 1BP every 4-7 days would not make any sense at all given the fact that there are people way above Steam Level 1k and some with way beyond 10k games

all eligible people compete in the same pool for each games booster drop, higher level is more tickets for the draw, so, higher chances. also higher level means lower booster drop cooldown (aka after drop = no drop for a certain amount of time based on steam level)

i wonder why you have such a bad drop time, you should get one every 60 hours with your 3k eligible games.

No it doesn't. You have it the wrong way round.

It REWARDS those who buy games, like myself. I've never traded a single card on the market for money nor bought one.

Yet I have a few badges and a fair amount of cards, all from gameplay.

Consider this - if it were discriminatory as you claim, then levelling the playing field would render it pointless. Think it through.
