A suggestion on "Points Generating" change.

It's just a rare discrepancy. Just enjoy your points while you have 'em.

I invested my points into gold points. Soon I'll have enough for platinum points.

What are this points everyone write about? I always use my lockpicks to enter a giveaway :<

You do realize that as the site grows and more people become active point generation will always increase? This doesn't do anything and is just more stupid nonsense that doesn't serve any real purpose but to confuse people.

No.
Didn't even read it, no.

OP, If u seriously wanna find something to blame, blame the 300p cap. Some people are entering everything they can to win everything they dont really need, if u cant store the points, why not use it? aye?

*I spent a huge bunch of point on just civil 5/borderland 2/skyrim, I didnt still get lucky enough to win it. :(

well i dislike when ppl enter every game they saw even if those arent in their wishlists just to increase the chance of win something for free, meanwhile they might take a chance to won them face to the ones that really want those games badly. the points regenerate pretty fast, less points cap and slower points regeneration would be appreciated

Heck no.
It's not like it's an MMO and it's hurting your business.

Nay! If those giveaways don't give points then the people that actually want to enter those exploited giveaways to get the game won't have the points to do so.

But i trust the moderators and the admins of SG and i think they know what's best for the site. If there is something that is breaking the site like you are saying those giveaways do, then i'm sure that they will do something about it.

Christ, it's a website for generously giving free games to people. It's not a damn business, next to no one cares about the economy, and how does what people enter/don't enter even affect you? How is it any of your business in the first place?

As has already been stated multiple times, inflation happens in these economies you're getting so worked up about. If you're going to go on and on about the so-called economy here, you can't pick and choose which parts of an economy you want to apply to the situation.

When there are active bundles and promotions resulting in a large amount of Steam keys flying around, of course people will give them away, hence the points, as you know. People are still entering the giveaways however so obviously there's still demand for them. Bundles come out, not everyone is able to get them, they want the games in them. That's why they enter the giveaways. You could throw your "people are just spending points on random things right now because the points are regenerating so fast" argument at me now, but that still shows a demand for things - they need giveaways to spend points on. The fact that that's not the way you personally want to see points spent is your own issue.

People give games away, people enter to win them, they win, they're happy. This is why it's called "Steam Gifts", not "Steam Capitalist Exchange" or what-fucking-ever.

Quit making things needlessly complicated. Some people here get worked up over the most ridiculous things, I swear...

If an increase in points had a negative effect, then you'd see the number of people entering giveaways dropping. I don't see that happening. Therefore I don't think this is causing real harm.

People will always enter for games they might not play, regardless of the number of points available. Most of the games given away on Steam Gifts are available for a very low price on sales or bundles. If people really wanted to play them, they'd buy them. Therefore most of the entries for most giveaways will be for games which aren't the most desired, and there's a chance the winner won't play them, or won't play them much. That's the nature of the "economy". There's no point in trying to affect a change to that nature just because it doesn't fit with what you'd like it to be.

seems quite fine to me

i think this is reasonable suggestion

I don't understand what the "problem" is?

I have to agree with a lot, the points aren't really a economy, and these overwhelming bundles will be over soon, then things should calm down a lil bit. Its still good to have a lot of points for most of the time, wheres the point if, at some point, the majority of people got no points left at all?

TL:DR but Thanks for The ship
:D

Completely agree!

Even with exploited giveaways, lots of people who wouldn't normally get the game are getting it free. The spirit of the site!
