Do you think Steamgifts should have an option on your profile to have giveaways of game in your wishlist be entered automatically?

No. If You really want the game, enter manually and comment something nice.

I'd say commenting something meaningful would be more important, don't you think, your Majesty?

I'm against anything that makes you enter giveaways without landing on the giveaway page. Mostly because of descriptions.

I don't think is a good idea... It'll take away the little effort that is required to participate in here...

Bad idea. It's not like you have big chance to win the game you want so bad in open giveaway with >1'000 participants. And many "smart" people would just add as many games as they can to their wishlist, to automate the playing. You want to get a free game? Then you have to spend some time here. For me it's pretty fun, and I enjoy playing without even winning.

Good point on a possible exploit Marrkix. At this point I'll leave the poll up to see what people say.

I think automated entries detracts from the meaning of the site. Giveaway sites are intended for you to enter into the giveaways you want and pick and choose which giveaways to enter. A key component of the site is the time, effort, and dedication required on behalf of the entrants. If any part of this is automated, it will increase average entries by a significant amount, lower overall chances to win (opposite of what I think you want), and takes away from the role of the entrant.

Similar ideas have been suggested on SteamCompanion and we likewise rejected them. Ultimately, the point of being an entrant is deliberately entering into the giveaway. If it's automated, it loses its meaning. Anyway, there are probably already third-party scripts for that, if you can't code one yourself.

Why ?
You go check your wishlist , and enter the giveaway ...
even if the game on your wishlist is 10p (for example )
The maximum amount of GAs you can enter will be 30 if you have the 300 pts...
That will take like 2 minutes @ most .

I dont understand why ppl keep whining that they need to click like TWICE in order to enter a GA , instead of once.

The whole point is to get games that you actually want , and not fill up your game library with games you will never open in your life , and someone else might've wanted...
OR with a game that you plan in using as courency , or ReGiveaway somewhere else...

No, if you truly want the game, at least put your laziness aside and click the big green button.

Auto-entries will never be built into the site.
