I think of either increase points cap or increase points to enter giveaway.
because always at 300P makes people entered game giveaway that they don't even willing to play.

no, it was because of a flood of giveaways that shouldn't have been there which was then removed -> points for those still remained, though

TBH, I'd rather have giveaways make 2,5% of value to points, instead of 5%. Any cap can be avoided by entering more giveaways and "storing" those points. 4 months ago I remember waging which giveaway to enter and which to remove an entry from, since there was a need to balance points. Now anyone can enter pretty much everything, esp. while the current Indie Gala is running and the Ironclad Collection is worth 5 points which creates a massive point influx.

No.
1) Bigger pint cap = more entries per giveaway (which people will complain about)
2) We are just getting so many points because the new contribute giveaways. It will die down.

What affects the entries per giveaway is the rate at which people gain points. The cap only matters if people actually run into it and thus stop gaining points. If someone checks the site regularly and sees that they're close to the cap, they're likely to spend them more freely, since there's no longer any cost associated with entering. With a higher cap, they could instead keep saving them for games they really want.

Then they will miss all those 1-hour giveaways that have a higher chance of winning it.

"I didn't know what to enter, since I have too many points"
and you think its a good idea. GREAT reason to increase the already generous cap and ever increasing number of people contributing (Thank you to those who have contributed, I'm still looking for something totally awesome to giveaway.).

I think maybe a distinction ought to be made between "people will complain about it" and "I will complain about it".
I'm coming at this as someone who owns Skyrim, owns Dota 2, has console versions of some of the more in-demand games on here, buys Humble Bundles, etc. There are a handful of games that I actually enter giveaways for simply because I look for things I want to play. As a result, I am always near the point cap, and have to come back every few hours to enter more things so that I can keep myself away from hitting the cap. When I wake up, always at the cap. The cap was made at a time when the site was smaller than it is now, and I think the increase in giving now that there are contributor-only giveaways have put it over the top. Were I to own Torchlight and Saints Row 3, I wouldn't ever come to the site and not be at the cap.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to our site. May you always grace our prescence.

If you ask me, the problem right now isn't that the cap is too low, it's that way too many foon't read rules and spam Ironcald giveaways and other bundles keys, which fill the points very quicly.

I'm sorry, but what? You don't know what to enter because you have too many points, so you ask for more points?

Currently, I went from 50P to 300P overnight. It's not an issue. And you do realise that running out of points is why the point cap exists, right? So you're forced to choose what to enter?

Points cap doesn't affect that much I think since usually people just enter giveaway that last for more than a week, then remove their entries if they saw games that they wants.

Do I REALLY have to comment this, or is it already clear what I and also everyone else think?

I found myself always at 300P, I didn't know what to enter, since I have too many points.
I think increase max points cap is a good idea.
Opinion?
UPDATE: My points is not increase cap so people can enter more giveaway. But went from 200 > 300 in couple hours is just ridiculous. Points cap doesn't affect that much I think since usually people just enter giveaway that last for more than a week, then remove their entries if they saw games that they wants. My points is why not make it easier by raising the cap or increase the entries points for example if KOA:R cost 60P, raise it to 90P(1.5x) or 120P.
EDIT : and just realize I went from 200Pish -> 300P again by playing 2-3 matches of dota :\
