LVL 150+ not reciving booster card drops?

[Djoksa]

Few years ago i was getting 1 or 2 booster packs a month, now I don't eaven know if I got 1 drop in the last 12 months.

I just got one a day ago, they work still you are just really unlucky then. You are in a pool with everyone and depending how many boosters are you eligible for you may be low on getting any for those boosters for badges people craft of that game.

I got booster packs consecutively in two (2) days; I did craft loads of badges a couple of days prior up until today.

Like you, when I was level 150 just days ago, I think it dropped once in 3 months and that is with the normal requirement of having been online/in-game at least once a week.

There are quite a number of people who are above level 1000 and the drop rate of boosters are expectedly top heavy.

It's been the same for me. I used to get at least one booster per month a few years ago when I was around level 100. Now I've had 1 in the past year and I'm just about to hit level 200.

It could just be that less badges are being crafted for the games that I'm eligible for, or perhaps they're all going to the 500-1000 level accounts these days.

Yeah. Or any other Valve magic, whatever they feel to do... For example, it could easily be some parameter depending on how much real money you spent on Steam in last N months, and that parameter could have the biggest impact on booster packs drop rates... And we'll never know about it for sure...

You still gotta think about how many other accounts there are. Your chance of recieving a booster gets boosted by 20% every 10 levels. There are countless accounts above level 100, even many above 500 by now.

Multiplied by the amount of accounts in general that exist on top of all that. We only get more accounts, not less. Only more people buying games and playing, not less. But not nearly everyone is even caring about cards or boosterpacks. There could be 100 badges crafted for a game, 100 boosterpacks given out because of it and all of them going to accounts who don't even check their inventories ever.

You will most likely always only get less boosterpack drops, as the number of accounts rise and as the number of high level accounts also rises. I'd say that nowadays being level 150 is not high... So your chances of getting drops, aren't significantly boosted enough, to get many of them.

Also you only are eligable for boosterpack drops from games you've gotten all carddrops from. Make sure that you've gotten all the cards from all your games to boost your chances. Otherwise you aren't even in the pool to get those games specific drops in the first place.

while you make badges you have more chances of receiving that

so they guy with level 6000 will guaranteed get every eligible booster pack he had if someone crafted those game badges?

No, he just has a 600x bigger chance of getting them.

All card drops are 0 for me atm but still nothing in months...

Given the sheer number of boosted alt/bot/fake accounts, the likelihood of a regular normal user getting a booster drop is next to nothing.

This past winter sale marked the first time in 7 years that I didn't receive at least one booster pack during the badge crafting frenzy of a seasonal sale...

I've had over 8 booster packs in the past 1 month, if that's any help.
