Giveaways offering too much exp

[M F]

Seems like a good thread idea, post giveaways giving too much exp here. This one should be 10 IC at most, 2 IC would be appropriate.

...I saw that and I was thinking!!!#%*!!. I agree with yu....I don't know what happened...

 

[*****gamer2014]

there are others to.. They should really set a 20 IC limit overall..
since alot of steam games are exploited. You should post this in
the right forum so its read faster. Also saw a DLC which was errored
on steam at a 300$ value which made it give 192 IC here on IG.
Exploiters are everywhere.

Basicly they should Ban DLC and OST.. and set a smaller max on IC
to kill alot of exploiters!

Cause if its a very expensive maingame they know not many people have them
and they cant use the DLC then, and the winner wont know if the key is valid.
Hence not giving negative where negative is due...

This is the result of a bug that IG has had since it started the giveaways; the automated system that they use doesn't differentiate between the "app" and "bundle" portion of Steam's URLs...except when calculating how much exp the giveaway is worth.

So if someone creates a giveaway offering the Substance Pack Indie (store.steampowered.com/bundle/2800/), it calculates the exp based upon a $300 bundle but creates the giveaway's link to X2: The Threat (store.steampowered.com/app/2800/).

That seems quite likely to be the case. I'm surprised this hasn't been exploited to the point where Indiegala is forced to fix the bug. I only wish I had a blacklist big enough for everyone giving away X2 lately.

I agree with *****gamer2014. setting a 20 IC limit would not make it so easy for chinese key farmers to cheat there way up in level. They would get caught by users winning there fake giveaways before reaching the high levels, and getting banned.

Yea i've seen some X2: The Threat for 192 points yesterdays - i guess someone is getting free level 10

This one with 180 000 exp for 10 giveaways still not banned tho (it had 180k exp with 10 giveaways and still have 180k exp with 27 now)

It made some more giveaways but it was reported multiple times like 2 month ago

And this an obvious bot account constantly changing his steam link so people wont notice

All GA from this user https://www.indiegala.com/trades/user/74aaff7095bf11e7a886ad52b6318218 are fake and with high IC so bascally not everyone can enter and give him negative feedback. I supose this user is using multiple accounts also so trying to win his own GA and level up user.

Even if this user has the key for those GA, the amount of ic needed to enter the GA is just crazy.

He is already banned since this morning.
