He was referring to snow globe badge only. :D
He crafted to get rare drops to sell. :)

Don't sweat it. I would do the same if I would have the money for it :P

Jesus, perhaps he makes a lot of money from modelling.

Selling items from the crafts. He is apparently getting offers like $800 for something so yea, it's an investment. At least I think it's saner than buying cards to get to level 200+ and only getting crappy emote,backgrounds, coupons and bigger friend list.

I try not to judge, but why would anyone do this?!

At least his "Avg. Game Completion Rate" in his Achievement-Box shows 0%. Either a bug or they marked him at least for this function.

It's not even the highest level, it's just the highest reported one. We've seen a level 50 Foil Badge so far but it still has the same icon so we didn't update it. As soon as we see the next badge we will add it asap.

That's really discouraging. I mean that different badge images go that high. They really should have stopped after fifth level.
Comment has been collapsed.
Be that as it may, I really wanted to get all the badges but I ain't spending tens of thousands of dollars on it. Initially I though a hundred would be the limit but it seems it just goes on and on and on.
Comment has been collapsed.
True. I guess guys who were deadset on crafting the badges would probably just have made smurf accounts and crafted up to level five on each. Quite frankly, I knew that it would be cheaper just to buy the rewards on the market than winning as a crafting award, so I just did one level.
Y'know...to feel part of the holiday spirit :)

I've read this three times, no idea what you're saying.

Basically the guy has no squeeze and that's why he spends all his off duty time idling to get all kinds of market fodder and cheating achievements. Oh, yeah, being a fireman is his carte blanche.
Comment has been collapsed.
So about the Snow globe... "This special badge can be crafted an unlimited number of times during the sale." Searched for some time and found this one His badge is lev.526 !!! and therefore he got 52,600 XP from the badge! Is that the highest badge level?
remember? this is the subject and i'm telling you, he is a single guy with a regular salary, it's normal that he's bought all of those... i'm just telling this, nothing more

That won't do any good. Valve don't care about it even if it is technically against the rules.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, I believe Valve's representatives on multiple occasions stated that, and I quote, "they don't give a rat's ass".
P.S. I may have embellished the quote a little bit.

spent what at least $350 depending on price to get them ?

Market Transactions
buyup started december 23
I guess he figures it will increase his business as trader like a PR move you could say

Getting achievements may as well be, and you dont have proof that he cheated. Could had played offline and when logged in got a bunch. Check some of my achievements for warframe, which was added recently.
And even if it was cheating, none of your business, this became a witch hunt that must stop.
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone posted a picture of his avatar with a text.
Someone went through his achievements stats and pointed that out.
Someone went through his market history.
Talks about size compensation\e-peen, talks about not knowing what to do with money (like its their business). Talks about being a sickness or PR stunt.
There is literaly 0 redeeming value on this thread, it may have started as a curiosity on badge levels but now its out of hand.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you find this offensive, please delete system32 and never use computer nor internet ever again cuz it simply might be too much for you. I wouldn't call checking his achievements "going through" since there are his profile on his fucking showcase lol and dunno if you realized but many people don't like SAM users since it's just... #fakescriptedandgay. No one went through his market history...
People talk garbage, welcome to the internet. And yes I agree that this thread is bullshit and cancer but it's in no way a place for you to white knight. If you want to white knight, go ahead but pick a person who at least cares since the guy even decided to taunt more people with his 'I read your comments with a smile.'
Comment has been collapsed.
That picture can be funny but can also be a form of humiliation. Unnecessary for a thread that was aimed at knowing what badge levels you could reach and became something else entirely.
And I see 3 mentions of market in this thread, so dunno why you think no one mentioned it.
And again, if someone uses SAM, you may find lame but theres no reason for the justification of this thread, just ignore his achievements, simple. And it wasnt only about that, part IS people saying things just due to someone having a high level badge.
He could be saying those for trolling purpose or defense mechanism, regardless if he never said anything or even made a funny video about it on youtube with selfdeprecation, this thread became ridiculous.

There's a difference between using your time and money to acquire something that makes you feel good (something I, and most other people, have nothing against) and cheating to acquire something that others have worked hard for (which is what people seem to have a problem with).
To clarify: he's legitimately got the badge. Cool. He's cheated for the achievements. Not so cool.
Comment has been collapsed.
That would be nice, I'm in favour.
Dubious ways require at least some kind of work, unlike SAM.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just pointing out why some people are badmouthing him. A high badge level would've got a "ugh, look at that guy spending all his money" response, whilst the fact that he's cheated his achievements has brought about more of a "ugh, look at that rich dude thinking he's entitled to everything without working for it" kind of reaction.
Personally I couldn't care one way or the other: he wasn't (originally) bragging about his achievements or badges.
And yea, I've seen a good number of threads popping up complaining about the SAM users.
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont understand how someone spending their own money is anyone elses concern. Let alone calling that person a loser and implying some sort of mental illness, i think that says more about you than the person youre trying to tarnish. I wonder, do you enjoy going around kicking small defenseless animals too?
EDIT
aaand the profile is now private. Good job, guys
Comment has been collapsed.
You are right, there is absolutely no need to call him loser and "mentally ill", not just because it's utterly stupid, but because it's also not true. :)
If I could understand his message correctly from that one copypaste sentence he pasted everywhere, he's a collector. ANd there are lot of collectors here, calling him a loser is very ironic.:P He collects whatever makes him happy, and ofc spends his money on whatever he wants.
I just don't get one thing, the achievement unlocks. What's the reason in "collecting" something, you did nothing for it. It's like going on a safari then asking someone to shoot an animal, you just watch it and at home you hung it's head on the wall, like you did a great job. But wouldn't that thing remind you that you did nothing for it everytime you take a peek? Is this some kind of rich thing? What's the purpose? I'm just trying to understand this.
(Or maybe I even answered my own question ? .. hmmm ...)
(Sorry for the comparison but pls no PETA comments. ^_^)

Can we please close this shit? It's just cancer. White knights fighting with people offended by his SAM usage and the guy mentioned craps on both groups by his witty "I read your comments with a smile."
gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8 but ya behave like 12 y old.
Comment has been collapsed.
Jeez, let the guy do what he likes!
526 badges = 5260 globes = ~$1300
If he indeed sold a couple of items for $700-800, he probably even made a profit out of it, which would make him a very smart guy.
And regarding achievements: this has nothing to do with the globes/badges, but even if he used SAM for it, there's no harm for anyone, because it doesn't affect any other player.
Now ask yourself the question: who's the person that bought a $800 item? I was already surprised people would pay $12 for my Golden Imp Mask....

It does affect everyone. It distorts statistics, makes difficult achievements more trivial than they should be, and generally nullifies the sense of achievement.
Comment has been collapsed.
there's this element called rarity... the more rare achievements you got the more your e-peen grows... cheaters disvaluating these achievements... seriously, what is the point of unlocking all achievements with a hack ? it's just as fun as playing games with cheats...
