It would (at best) effectively double the database that SG has to keep on steam prices. I know we often get the "what happened to my CV" threads, but I don't think it's that much of an issue and I wouldn't propose going through with something like that without knowing the cost.

I have the "don't know, don't care" perspective when it comes to CV.

cv when games get bundled T_T

thanks a lot for the thread!! =)
well, I've been through this some times.. I kept on going forward to 8 and backwards to 7 several times, and most of the times I didn't really know why, I mean.. since I make lots of giveaways, which were the responsible games, the culprits XD
of course it's nothing important, but it's a nice feature in my view if the SG creators can implement it in some way!! =)
and oh, as I said I was some days level 7, some days after level 8, but as you said the chart is only going upwards without showing when I got back to 7.. don't know why =)
obviously this isn't something crucial, it could be a nice addition and information to have, that's all =)

Previous CV values of users aren't stored in database, so the graph is just an extrapolation based on the current value of your giveaways

Since I'm bundletrash I hardly ever get to experience the glory of getting full CV for a game, but I do enjoy giving them away no less. Especially if someone wins that had a game wishlisted or entered a bunch of GAs for it already.

That said it would be kinda neat to know when something's deducted. From what I've seen though, the discussions are doing a good job updating people on what changed and why, so short of being inactive for the longest time you would hopefully not have any trouble finding out why your CV dropped. I don't know if mine dropped before but it probably went right by me if it did XD I give when I can, and during times I do not I hardly even know what my exact CB is without looking it up haha.

yeah its kinda annoying. ive only dealt with it once at lvl 5 going back to 4 where i noticed my numbers change cuz humble monthly got bundled. just yesterday or day before i noticed my lvl went down from 5.08 to 5.02 i mainly noticed it from stats page but i wouldve gradually noticed by price level since i use esgst but i did almost lose level again. if it werent for the fact most of my games were bundled from start it wouldve been really confusing by what happened. thats why theres so many cv threads, there was no notice of humble monthlies start to be bundled so everyone was so confused and i still notice some people still question what happened

I'm not really bothered, but I did vote "Yes", since this recently happened to me. I dropped from 8 to 7 and tried to work out why. SGTools lastbundled list is helpful, but after a cursory glance could not see why, and left it at that.

I get why this won't happen though. CV is calculated from the current price as reported by the Steam API. To do what you want would require recording each price change. Someone could probably script this using data from ITAD. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if ESGST did it already!

Slightly off topic but what happens when you reach level 10, does it carry on, so you have 10.1 10.2 etc of does it stay at 10 and keep dropping down when you lose cv

I honestly don't see how it would be horribly difficult to code the contributor level so that it can't drop once it has been attained.

Of course the whole point of the CV system is to give an incentive to make more giveaways, the level dropping works in the same direction.

OTOH level dropping is a negative, rather than positive reinforcement, a punishment rather than a reward, which is likely the reason why this particular issue is one of this community's more resilient and prolific among the several defunct equines.
