2. Yes

I played 15 full days in the past 2 weeks, I really need the card money for sales :D
It's like the other above said, No and yes

The only thing to look out for are what games you're running while it's on. It's recommended to not play games supported by VAC protection while running IdleMaster or else you may be banned.

1. No, it doesn't need a lot of resources, at all. You could easily forget it's running in background.
   1.2 No problems ever, and I farmed more than 2k cards with it.
   Just to be safe, try never having IdleMaster running when playinc VAC-enabled Games (although I don't think no one ever got VAC banned due to IdleMaster, but better safe than sorry). In fact, I never run IdleMaster when I'm playing any game on my account.
2. Well, it is worth it if you have a lots of cards to drop, ou just don't want to play the game to drop.

Program basically uses no resources. It just tells Steam you're playing a specific game. It doesn't launch anything, the games don't have to be installed or anything.
And there's probably no danger in playing VAC-secured games while IdleMaster is running, but there's also no reason to test that hypothesis thoroughly. Further, when you're actually trying to get card drops you only want to be running one game at a time anyway.

Valve knows that this program exists and that people use it and they probably do not care.

It's the best thing since the invention of bacon by Albert Newton.

anybody having issues getting drops from idle master the past couple of days? i have ran a couple of games up to 10 hours with no drops, just downgraded to V 1.3 to see if that one will work.
