Summer adventure, team stacking?

[ballolini]

So purple won yesterday, what's keeping them from winning again all the following days.

I just don't quite get it, if people retain their team the entire sale, then how will the other colors be able to compete at all. People with the team change token will just switch to the winning team. And with the very strong member base, they should win again too, wouldn't they?

So far, this whole Summer Sale has been a let down.

I think they should reset points and teams every day, that way the same power leveling asshats can get swaped to a differnt team.

I like that idea a lot!

or just save you badges un-crafted until your team is leading if you can predict that moment?

but no point in crafting when your team is way in the loss.

PS there is a guy in team purple that has crafted a level 25 summer sale badge, he did so on the first day, he only has 120 games in his account... so basically this tells me he spent ~900 on the market place... volvo shouldn't be taking advantage of the mentally handicapped.

they have a guy who has crafted 200 badges as well, maybe more at this point.

it won't matter now, purple team is already stacked with whales that migrated over from other teams, effectively rendering the teams they left out of the loop (they will have less numbers of people contributing to points, while purple will gain more)

the system isn't set up to be a fair game, it's set up for valve to make money off the of the backs of idiots

WTF happened to the Green Team?!

i saw the number for purple token go from 10 to 9. so i saw a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by a token for $34.45 to get on the winning team, when they could of probably bought 10 games on his wishlist for that price. what a waste on a gamble like that. kinda hope they arent one of the 30 to win wishlist games cause those are terrible odds to gamble. lucky bastard the one who sold the token though

every other team except for purple (cuz they will win every day anyways) and red (delusional idealists) has seen through the lies and have realized that we can just sell our cards for .50 a pop in order to buy more games...

Okay, first of all, it's true. Team Purple will probably win this and VALVe are probably doing this to gain some more money... wait, no, that latter part was just stupid. It's the community who is deciding the prices and VALVe are getting 15% cut from the Purple tokens. Do you think that a company that makes millions daily by redistributing games and owns a PC Gaming platform needs a little bit extra cash? As if all the items in TF2, Dota 2 and CSGO don't make them enough money already, think about all the games on Sale right now. Or even the ones that aren't. They always get a cut so this isn't really the time to hate on VALVe. The community really baffles me at times, saying that VALVe are evil for not giving us sales, then when they do, and try a new concept every time, the community hates them for a mistake they made in it.

They're humans just like us, give them time, they may change how this whole thing works. Honestly, it's not all about the money, else there wouldn't be Holiday/Season Sales at all.. think about it.

Also, here's a good question: It's the STEAM SUMMER SALE, right? Why would you complain people are buying tokens for $30 and get a chance to win 3 games off their wishlist? This is the perfect time to spend $30 on many more games from your wishlist that will go down in price to bellow $10 each for sure during the Sale (except if it's not some new game or what-not). But, again, it's a CHANCE to win games, not a definite win like in past sales over the years with 10 winners getting their entire wishlist and what-not. Buy the games you want and enjoy them. Don't make this whole "Holiday" known as Steam Sales sound like a conspiracy to get more money out of their consumers. They are making millions a day, and will soon make even more with SteamMachines. Really now, GabeN is love, GabeN is life. Calm yourselves and act properly. I myself crafted the badge just to get it, not really interested in the whole winning part, I have way too many games both on Steam and off, I won't really be inclined to play more of them, especially now that my finals have passed and I'm getting a job.

Grow up, guys. No hate, really, just stating the obvious.

do you really think that most businesses, which exist in order to make a profit, would not need/want more money? they want all the money they can get.. stop being so naive. gabe newell is not your friend, he is a robber baron. and no, they won't change a thing because this was designed to maximize their profits and play on the psychology of stupid people.

why did valve hire a economist and people that deal with the psychology of the consumer? gee, it must have been some idea-storming for HL3... oh wait no they hire ppl that know how to make money to *gasp* make money.

put down the glass of kool-aid, man

To all you non-purps. Don't be jelly.

tell me, are you just trying to ride on purples back? how much have you contributed to your own team or are you a ♥♥♥♥♥ and letting others do all the work?
