I never thought i'd be the one to advocate a change in point structure, but this is ridiculous!

yea i know its wow ! or put max cap 200

Did the giveaways you entered stay up? When a giveaway gets deleted you gain your points back.

It was because of Ironclads and the games alike. People bought them for $1 and here they had $50 value. It is fixed now.

I have not seen 300 since the early days.

It just looks like another wave of CS:GO betas has hit SG,thus the points.

i'm a duck

There's a ton of garbage being added now because of the contributor giveaways. I'm almost at the point of saying, as soon as the game appears in a bundle, remove it from the list of games.

Since the "Contributor only giveaway" people buy the indie gala/bundle in a box for 1$, and make it as 4/3 giveaways just to get the contribution $$ fast.

Eh, losing those points is the point of a point limit.

Get my point?

The reasons I found were:

• influx of CS:GO
• influx of bundles
• influx of contributor giveaways

Moreover, contributor giveaways incite users to make giveaways, thus raising our points even more.

I certainly hope I'm not the only person to take this seriously. Some people don't mind having 300 points all the time, but others will want to get rid of them so that they can enter more and more giveaways. Now, you can be sure a lot of SG's users will enter games they are not necessarily interested in because they still want to make points. They'll enter games they simply won't even play.

How infuriating is it? You just lost to a guy who doesn't even want the game.

You think that "a lot of the potential points are going to waste" so you advocate giving people less points? Had you been campaigning for a higher cap, you would at least have made sense.
I know I have only been here for a day, but the points system seems great so far. Now that the Ironclad is only a single point, we should all see fewer points coming our way.

Oh, and because there's 35 friggin pages of giveaways, whereas there's usually 12-16. (for me at least. I'm not in many groups.)

and i STILL havent won lol

I agree. So many entries per giveaway, where not everyone REALLY wants the game.
