no. it wouldn't be nice.

Another one?

Cult: No! It's not fair! Time zones!

lokonopa: Good evening, citizen. This idea will be examined. Thank you for your patience. BIP BOP BIP System error.

Monolight: Well, if it's not mandatory then why not?

This has been suggested several times before. The answer is still no.

Private and group giveaways can be used to limit entries. A public giveaway is public for a reason - to give everyone a chance to enter and win, not just the people who saw it first and weren't asleep when it was posted.

Make a 1 hour giveaway and there will be max 1k entries. Maybe will be better to lower limit on 30min.

Helloooo sweet friend! I hasten to tell you that I am very serious configured to find its second half. I have long been actively looking for! is going to hope that you will answer me and we will be able to talk with you!woman from far away. Kiss bye :-)

And who exactly do you think would benefit from such a function? :-)

Let's just set the max. number of entries to 1 so that Jakerpot360 can win them all. =\

Should be an option to the person hosting the giveaway.

proposed idea in my thread

I'd actually like to see an entry or time limit.

Jesus Christ, you people.

Someone explain to me what advantage an entry cap has over a normal time-limited giveaway. What benefit is there? If you make a giveaway with 50 possible entries, 99% of the time a bot will win because if this gets put in, there will be more bots to take advantage of it. FACT. If you make a giveaway with 500 possible entries, you might as well have just set it to one hour anyway. Where is the benefit to this?? Why does it seem so attractive to people?

And here we go again. :\

Alright, I was thinking that these came up once a week, but it seems I was slightly off. Apparently these come up just as soon as the last one has left the top threads for a little bit.

I'll explain a concept here. Making an entry limit only "benefits" the people entering. There's no real reason why the gifter would care how many people enter their giveaway and so they have no reason to set a limit. If for some reason the gifter wants to set a limit then they already have options. They can either just make it a 1 hour long giveaway or they can make a Steam group and make the giveaway just for them. The only people that a limit actually benefits is those with bots or those who have no life and spend their whole time just refreshing the page to grab the newest giveaways.

Remember, you got more of a chance to winning a 3000 entry giveaway, than a 50 entry giveaway no one but bots or people refreshing the page every 5 secs would be able to get, since entry-limited giveaways would probably fill up within a couple of minutes.

" i know its a simple idea and maybe someone already had it before, but im feeling like i need to present it anyway."

There have been and there was one yesterday, the day before that, the day before that, ect. Please read.

USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION

/summarized rant

Wow, really, so many opinions. Sorry about not using the search, but i'm a noob around here. Anyway, i think at least this topic is making me think a little more, but what is this bot thing? A guy can make a bot to have 100 entries or what? I normally enter only 400 to less giveaways. I pass away from games like Minecraft that get 4000 entries in 2 seconds...

Except TF2R does this, and offers games, and has no real problems with it.

Just use Team fortress 2 raffles if you want a chance to win something, and just go to group giveaways on steamgifts, the open raffles are pointless to enter.
