(The cone of silence from Steam Support)
=)
I kid, though. I've only needed them for refunds and they were good about the 2 I asked for. However, there is an issue going on with their Steam Client beta they've been quiet about...

Well, at least they kinda acknowledge how a number of their customers are playing it, and how they don't actually give a damn about it. (As long as buy skins, of course. :D)

I didn't take screenshots of mine, but that's about exactly how they answered my requests, when not giving canned- and in the context completely nonsensical- answers. :/

Exactly the same thing happened to me. And I waited 2.5 months for the answer.

The only ticket for they ever answered was when I requested games to be removed from my account. The others were closed with a stock "sorry, we have many tickets, we will answer you soon" message.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
We're sorry for the delay. We're currently experiencing much higher traffic than normal, and are asking anyone needing help to read the information below. If you still need assistance, you must respond to this message after reviewing this information.
Doing so will place you in queue for an expedited response on your issue.
There may be something in your windows account that is interfering with the functionality of Steam
It may be a registry permissions issue.
Please try the following:
Exit Steam.
Click the Start Button, then "Run" (or hold the Windows key and press R). Type "regedit" and click "OK".
Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE
Right click the Valve folder and select "Permissions"
Select the group or user name you are currently logged in to, and ensure that the "Full control" and "Read" options are checked in the box below.
Then, highlight "Admin" and "System" and ensure that they too have the "Full control" and "Read" options checked.
Restart Steam.
If this does not resolve the issue, you will need to use a new Windows account with administrative privileges.
Please let us know if this helps, as this may be useful for other users.

  • I've been scammed for 40 keys, because the 2 game copies were revoked.
  • Ok, take 20 keys back.
  • No, steam support. I said you that I lost 40 keys, not 20. I'm thankful for the 20 keys, but I would prefer getting all the 40 keys back.
  • We've sent you all the keys that you've lost.
  • No, you didn't. Are you kidding me?
    (Well, the conversation with them was something like that, until they stopped answering to me. :B )

My steam got hacked 5 days ago and they still haven't answered. I cant purchased or play anything that involves Steam. I have 3 gifts to send and I cant send them because of them but I did notify the winners though. Steam Support really really sucks. Like my grandparents can answer me back faster than they do.

I imagine that even someone trying to contact their deceased grandparents with an Ouija board would find it to work more reliably and offer more sensible responses than Steam Support provides. :X

One of my tickets.

Title: "I'm missing one badge and it seems my exp is not right"

Me: "Greetings
One the first day of the event I crafted gems and I received a badge for it. I no longer have that badge and I don't know why.
I was checking my steam lvl yesterday and all the badges I crafted recently my exp seems lower that it should. Could you please confirm it?
Thank you"

Support: " Hello XXXXX,
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
We apologize for the delay.
Steam and Community badges awarded through completing achievements in Steam cannot be changed, modified, or granted to an account."

Me: "BUT I had the badge and It disappeared. I have waited that much for support, do you even understand what I am asking?
As you can see my badge was gone a long time ago and now you decide you can't help me?
I even created another ticked ...
If this matter can't be resolved I would like to file a formal complaint. "

Support: "Hello xxxxxx,
As previously stated, Steam and Community badges awarded through completing achievements in Steam cannot be changed, modified, or granted to an account.
We will not be able to modify this badge for your account in any way. "

Me: "So nobody think its odd that a badge disappeared?"

They closed the ticket and never replied back. Now I can't even open the ticket.

EDIT: The badge missing was the one from last Winter sales (that you would get if you destroyed an item to get gems, during a certain time period).

Congrats!
You have unlocked the "No Badge Badge"!

It's the Emperor's New Clothes of badges, though- noone can see you have it, and you can't prove you do :X

Not THAT bad, but here's mine.

Someone stole and copied a guide of mine (and another guide too) on a certain game. (Found out about it end of June 2015). That guy simply copypasted them in threads in a group of his.

After he didn't delete it, I found out there is no way to flag posts if you aren't part of the group. Also you can't flag groups.

So I asked Steam Support to remove it instead. (5th July 2015)

I wrote in English, Steam support answers (9th July) in German...
They gave me a link to read "Rules and Guidlines for Steam Guides".

I write back (10th July) and wrote that I don't know how this could help me. I also repeated my issue.

They answered (11th July) that feedback from community would be important. They will forward my post. Finally posting a link to the Steam community forums and redirecting me there if I want to share my issue...

The copypasta still exists...
I don't know what to do.

The answers were stupid and are frustrating.

I had some troubles with stream support last month, I accidentally added a gift to my library instead of my inventory for one week steam support said "sorry we can't do anything", So I emailed Gaben explained the situation, and invited him to come sing karaoke. While Gaben never replyed, the next day Steam suport gave me a one time exception, removed the game from my library and added the gift to my inventory. To this day I still wonder if Gaben came by to listen to the songs.
