ofc it's you again, who couldn't hold his shit together, repeating old lame weak wrong and refuted arguments

1. You don't say Sherlock. He wasn't suggesting a basic level restriction to start with.
2. This is an highly suggestive and hypothetical argument and not even coherent. Why shouldn't higher level restricted GAs encourage people to gift themselves? You're arguing, that they'll completely forget about all the GAs they have seen, when they change the basic setting, which shows all GAs, assuming they'll change it in the first place and even most people doing it. Assuming furthermore that they'll instantly forget about every level restricted GA they run into, watching at trains or other invite GAs.
   The behaviour i've seen from abusers is, that they jumpstart to a higher level instantly, there must be a reason, why they're encouraged to do that, but i recognize your efforts in stubbornly resisting any attempt to get educated on that topic and still taking the wrong conclusions, because of lacking knowledge, pushing your agenda in whiteknighting leechers, auto-joiners and abusers.
   And why should the site look more empty to the average user, when a GA is set e.g. from 3 to 4? Looking at the user stats https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/community/users the average user is level zero.
   You hadn't your brightest day, when you wrote all that BS.

A bigger problem for the average user are the overcrowded GAs, which is indeed a strong point for them to level up, to get better chances to win.
And that the site will look more empty is even a problem for higher levels, being at a 9-year low in created GAs last month and this month doesn't look good either, which is exactly what i predicted over a year ago btw, but i'm sure it'll help, if there are more GAs available for level zeros, who never give back; and we aren't talking about homless people here, we're talking about stingy gamers and it'll not be the first site, which they brought down.

(6.) Pretty BS, getting invested in the forums only generates traffic, which only helps to grow the purse of lazy ass cg, doing nothing about all the auto-joiners and multis, which are the real problem for your lovely level zeroes, lowering their chances to win.
In the end people come here for the GAs, not to socialize.
