Pointsystem

300 points are fine.

/thread

i think if they capped points at 200 and we got half or quarter of the points we usually get,that would make things right, although it would be a bit too drastical

point cap doesn't really do anything if the user goes to this site often.
point regen is only a problem during bundle time

less points to spend
*fewer points to spend

My work here is done.

The odds wouldn't get drastically better considering the the size of the userbase.

I actually think it's too low. The "fear" of hitting the cap makes you use points so that they don't go "wasted" when you sit on the cap.

I don't really mind the 300 point cap, or the rate at which points are generated.

However, I'd like to see the option to enter multiple times for a giveaway. For example when there's a 50 point giveaway for a game you really want, you could spend 300 points on it and get 6 entries. That way people can spend more on the games they want the most, reducing the chance that people just spread their points around because there isn't enough they really want to play.

I suggested in a previous thread that points be given out only based on public giveaways that the user doesn't enter, in order to further encourage people to only enter giveaways they actually gives a true damn about. Problem being that this would require a lot of studying the stats and playing with the math in order to balance right. Of course, what the balance should be is completely arbitrary, even in the current system. :/

It depends on the situation. Sometimes I'm having a hard time getting rid of all my points, when other times there is an influx of very good giveaways and I don't have enough points to enter all of them, so I'll have to allocate my points more carefully. Since the point generation is 5% of the point value of every giveaway, it allows us to only enter 1/20 of the giveaways created. I think that is just enough. And besides, nobody is forcing you to spend all your points, you can just let them cap if you don't care.

Not this thread again.

As someone here said already - depends on day/period of time. Sometimes, when there are many giveaways of the game I really want, I want to join them all in order to have better chances of winning. Unfortunately I can't because of lack of the points. Also, if I know correctly, points rate has been decreased once, hasn't it?
Summing up - I would be really sad if the rate of points changed.

Assuming point gain is cut to a tenth of its current amount:

1/1000+1/1000+1/1000+1/1000+1/1000+1/1000+1/1000+1/1000+1/1000+1/1000=10/1000=1/100

1/100 = 1/100

This does not improve any chances for you to win that game you really want.

my RENT.... IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

How many threads must we have to eventually make people stfu about it?
