I believe it's the new equivalent of CV but I don't know all the details.

11:18 - cg: we did have dynamic before, but it meant people would lower in levels over time if they're inactive
11:18 - cg: in a couple of years, we might have to raise them
11:18 - cg: right now they're...
11:19 - cg: 0, 0.01, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000

Assuming it didn't change since the beta, the level counts the non-bundle giveaways + the bundle giveaways up to 20% of the non-bundle ones. (No more free 30$ from bundle)
The gift sent is the total value of games sent regardless if they're bundle games or not.

then how do you know if something was bundled nowadays? no indication until you reach the level up point that you should have? and have not? the asterisk is gone..

And only counts private and group above 15 entries.

I don't ge tthis. I'm level 1 and have a CV of 36. I should be level 2.
Comment has been collapsed.
No. There is a bit of math to it, and there is a certain number of people in each of the higher levels. L10 will only have 10 users at a time, IIRC.

They give more, everyone wins.
Well, one guy wins, thats the point of the site. :P

I guess I'm at a decent level but I feel no inclination to want to either keep my level or level up further because of this. If I did then the way I see it is that I'll never truly know what it will take to get me to level 9 or avoid dropping to 7 so it would be slightly difficult anyway. Yeah, I could look at people's profiles who were on those levels but by the time I made my GA's they could have made some too.
I might atypical here, but it's not something that I can see myself ever being bothered about really. I'll just continue to give away stuff when I want and whatever level that gets me then fine.

What is the punishment for mentioning Steamgifts Premium in this brave new world?
Comment has been collapsed.
You will be told to wait for the updated version, which was already in the works during closed testing.

He said "SteamGifts Premium", not SteamGifts Plus. And he's referring to the fact that making SG Premium jokes was punishable.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, thanks, I see. The fact tht he mentioned a punishment lead me to believe it was "premium".
Also the fact that he said "premum" :-P

It goes something like this if I can recall correctly: The last place guy of level 10 determines the level of other people. The requirements for a certain level are not fixed, they change, you may be level 6, but as long as the last guy (lowest contributor of level 10) keeps donating, the requirements for levels rise, so tomorrow you may be level 5. Bundle games, I think, no longer count towards your level progression. I think this is how it works, feel free to say I'm wrong, guys how know this thing for sure.

shouldn't be a level system at all, even worst than what CV was
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont know how it works... I used to have like 320$ worth CV now I'm level 5...
Comment has been collapsed.
Ha, I used to have $1222, now I'm level 5 and I somehow losts $50 when site has been updated.

Now they dont care whether the game is bundle or non bundle. so MY CV looks 773$ BTW my level was 5,16 one hour ago, now 5,08 I guess I may became level 4 if i dont create giveaway today :)
Well I regret I bought non bundle games to create giveaways here. I could do the same with a couple of dollars worth bundle games...
Comment has been collapsed.
My CV was $442 and i"m level 4. I'm not fond of the new level system. its too amorphous and vague. A dollar value is a clear marker of progress, even if the math behind it was a little convoluted. Now its convoluted math hidden behind unknowable levels.

Easy. x is undefined as it's not used at all in the formula. ;)

+1
Those lvls limit all these things. Here is an example of how I think: Now we have (let's say) 10 levels and that's it. When we had CV there was infinite number of levels. How is it? Well, we could compare each lvl to the smallest difference between one CV and another CV. For example, lvl 1 = $0.01 CV.. Lvl 2 = $0.02 and so on. Having 1-10 levels instead of 1-'infinite' levels limits everything very much, doesn't it?
I hope to see CV system back since it was more fair to those who aren't that rich.

Everyone should be equal on this site. As long as they gave away at least one game, bundled or not.
It should be friendly ESPECIALLY to the poorer people who just can't afford to buy games, not to the rich people who can already buy every game they want >_<

"I'll be writing a separate post shortly to explain the new level based system for contributor."
Comment has been collapsed.
I assume groups will have to adapt their admissions rules accordingly, i.e "you must be at least level 7 to apply".
Or they can use the "Gifts Sent" value as measurement...?

he will explain it later, or see here: http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/vcDDbFF

As far as I know it's just a test and might be removed if it doesn't work.

This level system is far worse than the CV system that was in place previously. It's just unnecessary and overcomplicated. :/
Comment has been collapsed.
agreed. definitely not a fan of the level system. i liked CV better. way more straight forward then this.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm new to the community, joined right before they took the site down... the former CV values were straightforward for a newb, this new system is off-putting.

No... this is China, and it is in fact communism.
