10 days total - 5 teams = 2 wins each.

  1. Purple
  2. Red
  3. Green?

Both teams won by taking large margins at the start and looks like green does it today.
So is it actually rigged to create competition to increase number of craftings?

No giveaway because I'm lazy...

What I want to know is, why am I not getting a crapload of random booster pack drops because there must be a ton of people crafting badges all the time.

not a single booster in weeks - perhaps summer badge does not count

Summer Badge doesn't count, but there's crafting other badges too.
(Cheapest like CS:GO, SniperV2, etc)

I haven't got, but my level 5 alts have got many (Like 6 Oniken boosters).

+1 on this
I've got like 29 badges and I got booster pack once!

Good point. It's not like every single badge being crafted is the summer one (which doesn't count), right? I actually did get one booster drop recently, but that was the first in a long while.

Looks kinda dodgy but eh. I donated one point to Red on second day, woop. Got my cards but didn't win the games. I did also get a booster pack though, that's nice.

Ditto. I contributed to a win and got the 2 extra summer cards, but no booster. Maybe it was just a normal booster drop that just happened to come at the same time as the bonus cards?

I plan on putting in my one point every day, just in case. If nothing else, its easy money for the few badges I'd make anyways. Pretty much just Double Fine games.

If you had any idea how much money people flush down the toilet just to buy cards, and craft the badges ...
I mean just look at winter sale, where people were getting level 1000 badges and shit ...
If you count it, for example level 400 badge is 400x10=4000 points.
Also now there are tokens to spam, which give/steal points.

It's not rigged, I can guarantee you that with 100.1% sure. Valve makes way too much money out of literally thin air, just to throw it all away for a tiny bit of extra money from the "extra competition".

considering that it's playing out pretty close to how game theory would predict, a 90,000 point lead doesn't exactly breed competition, and you can literally watch the points roll in... no it's not rigged.

First point, true. Second point, not so much. I don't think being able to see points go up and down really matters that much. Because as I think someone else posted, Valve just has give one team each day a multiplier on all the points earned. Doing something like doubling one team's points would give them a pretty big advantage over everyone else, which could effectively control the results.

I think so. Make sure they collect market fee's from all the team change tokens instead of one color.

Okay so I am starting to think this is rigged indeed.. What idiots would continue spending money on crafting when you are ahead in 220k points and there are only 50 minutes left..

10 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

For one, there are more than 6 hours left. And then not everybody cares about that. People will just craft badges when they feel like it. A friend in team Blue crafted 5 summer badges yesterday, when there was no chance for them winning. His reason: He doesn't care about the competition, he feels chances to win are too slim. So he just does what he feels like.

Was looking at the Flash sale counter lol. Regardless, cards cost too high to bother right now and they will drop more and more until the end of the sale, crafting for no reason is pointless.. Better save the money for when the cards are really low, they are already down to their pre sale prices.

I paid $2 to craft the badge. I got a Summer Adventure Package (tf2) for crafting the badge and sold it for $6. It's not always a waste of money :)

I'm pretty sure people are using those token things to switch team to Green, and at this point they heavily outweigh all other teams.. Probably they won't get new members, but honestly all the "real" people were there on Day 1, couldn't pry em away with a crowbar.. The leftover late-to-show-up stragglers trying to level out this hideous shift to Green will not make up any difference.. All the "BUY VICTORY!" people are not only using the tokens to move to green, but also using all their point-steal things on anything but green (probably the #2 team).. I'd say if it /isn't/ rigged, then green will probably win every single day from here on out.

You do know that you can see data on sold tokens via the market, right? There's not that many people changing teams. And on any given day, they will join mostly the winning team. So I don't see a reason why that trend should favor green any more than it favoured purple (who looked like they could win first and second day for a long time) or red.

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah - on the first day, I was saying Purple would win every day due to the large gap they had on all the other teams. Then if you add people switching to that team and then those points being added the next day and such, it'd be out of control...

So, I think there's probably a handicap added behind the scenes for teams which haven't won yet. I mean, seriously, look at the amount Pink won by. 3 times as much as any other team put out?! Can't tell me there's no handicap on that....

I agree that this is probably the strangest point about day 3. One team having a big lead isn't that odd, but all four of the other teams having basically the same amount of points is really weird.

Weird enough that it's an obvious statistical anomaly that no one would allow if they were controlling the outcome unless they were abjectly incompetent.

As we now know, Green won day 3. Every other team had only about half the points they did, IIRC, which seems kind of odd. For Day 4, Pink is off to an early lead. I'm starting to think that Steam/Valve is somehow influencing the results.

There are that many Steam gamers on Reddit who agreed to follow a plan to effectively control the outcome of the daily point totals? If so, I'm actually kind of impressed. With how many gamers there are on Steam, I didn't think anyone could get enough people organized behind a single plan to control the results.

Yea, the way its played out so far it almost has to be rigged. The odds for each team winning twice are exceptionally low and if that happens it assuredly was rigged.
