Level???

Hopefully, yes. I loathe any kind of restrictions, considering this site is about, you know, giving stuff for free and having a nice time, as opposed to an elitist circlejerk wherein you need to give $X to have a chance at winning even more things (=$). Which is a perpetual cycle.

Now, this site really isn't that bad, but it's the principle of things.

Of course. I was against it.

At times, SteamGifts reminds me of TF2R from long ago. :P

I totally agree, those who can't afford the games they want most likely can't afford to give anything away and the point of this site (and other like this one) should be (and remember that this is my humble opinion) for those people to be able to enter and try to win. On the other hand, if you have 5k€ to be giving stuff away you probably have enough to buy the game you want for yourself so why should you be given a better chance (due to CV and now level restrictions of entering giveaways) when there are those who would love it but can't afford it.

I couldn't say it better. This level system completely defeats the purpose of a GIVEAWAY site. It's becoming a glorified trading group.

Originally CV was going to be removed from SGv2, but too many people complained so we had to add something back.

Too many people complained... Who are they to decide how rich one has to be to enter a giveaway?

They were supposed to have Blacklist for that.

It was mostly people in the lower range that wanted to re-implement the CV system. The people (including me) who have high CV were the ones trying to remove CV in the first place. There's a reason why this level system wasn't discussed until open beta.

I would like to see a full detailed explanation of how all that works before making up my mind about liking it or not... So far I'm just trying to figure out how new site works in general, all new features and all that. But at a first glance CV seems to have been better than those... levels.
P.S. There always will be people who don't like how system works, no matter objective pros and cons. There always will be people who feel entitled to have everything handed to them just because they think that it should be that way. There always will be complains, outraged cries and flame wars... You can't just please everyone. My personal POV is that if this would be final as it is - well, kaiidth, but (I hope) it's not too late for possible improvements and changes, if needed.

Sorry, this new level system is Total Failure. I never thought there could be something even worse than CV on this site. Now I see how badly wrong I was. CV system made me less willing to make giveaways. THIS level system just makes me think if I should ever make any giveaway on this site.

^ This.

I was really looking forward to a CV free SG, but they managed to make it even worse instead. Quite amazing...

Agree. The level system is an epic fail that totally defeats the purpose of a GIVEAWAY site.
