I dont think that CG has any plans in changing the system again any time soon.

One principle that has never changed on SG and hopefully will never change is that everybody should have equal chances of entering and winning giveaways.
Which means no more points for higher levels.

absolutely not

As it is, I'm leaning toward being in favor of banning group and private giveaways. Hell, I wouldn't mind if CG got rid of levels altogether

Levelling up has way more rewards than it ever should be as it is.

You should be able to exchange 500 points for a dunce hat icon next to your name that lasts 1 hour.

I don't think that's a good idea :p

As a Level 10 contributor, I approve of this plan. XD

i have mixed feelings about this. in one hand i like that generous people should have a reward for their generosity but on the other hand i dont like that people kind of get a disadvantage or even being pressurized to make more giveaways to have the equal right. it could easily turn into a competition. that is my and i`s opinion. O_O

It's a no from me. I strongly believe that the number of giveaways one can enter should be the same for everyone, regardless of their contributions to the community. To me, this is similar to saying "we should be able to pay real money to buy points/entries", and not the path I'd like to see SG go towards.

Contribution levels already separate us, to a certain extent. I allow it because it's a well implemented feature - whether or not a giveaway is level restricted is up to the giveaway creator, and not decided by the website. It's still an unfair advantage over the regular user, but even I'm guilty of setting level restriction on my giveaways (in order to eliminate the odds of needing to request numerous re-rolls). But that's where I draw the line. Points shouldn't be trifled with, and should be equal for every user.

"Doctor, I'm asking for a friend! He fell on a banana" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Why not, since patreon donators get 1.5x points.

I wouldnt mind, I think it’s a good idea.

I had some arguments, but oh, well, just no, that's just bad. (Politely)

Daaaaaaaamn, don't listen to the polls because the majority of the community are lv.0 leaches who don't give anything away so they won't be happy with other people having higher odds :P

It feels like a bad idea, but if it encourages more people to create giveaways, maybe it has some merit.

Nice ;)

And why not, a maximum point according to the level of contribution.

lvl 0 - 300 points
lvl 1 - 325
lvl 2 - 375
....

This would contribute to more gift and contributor can be.

I don't like it

just like what Yirg said above, this could be a nice incentive for people to create giveaways
nice idea~
although my personal opinion is still a no no because, well, since I think this site's main goal is to create a community where people give and take responsibly

creating such advantage for higher level simply means people who give more in this case has the advantage in terms of material, like money, to provide the GA (unless you are a developer which usually don't enter giveaways anyway) will statistically win more giveaway
which is not bad, but this situation might create a competitive environment for people to reach higher level for the sake of winning more game (and some of them will eventually be a leecher)

steamgifts as of today is good enough imho, with the CV only act as a way to restrict how many people can enter the giveaway that one creates
this clearly is a disadvantage for people who can't create GAs for various reason so they stay at lower level, but in the end I think it's fair enough to think that people who gave more is welcome to more giveaways without having other advantages

this is based on my opinion though, what do you think?
ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ

I wonder if that is necessary, because there are a lot of high lvl's who already have difficulty spending all these points

I already asked for that, and I received this answer by the CG
