Steam account since 12 Sept 2003. Level 84 account. Login almost every day. I've received one booster pack in 23 years and precisely two foil cards. I'd be happy with any foils, even just to sell.
You definitely must have left your account at level 1 and only bothered to gain levels in the last few years
Because 10 years ago i got my account to level 50 and was getting a booster pack a month. With how many users there are now even at level 80 I get maybe one a year :p
Couldn't say when I reached 50 but it's been a gradual increase over those 23 years. I don't buy a huge amount of games but generally I like to craft badges (often multi level) from the games I do own.
If you don't own the newest games that people want to craft badges for, or the cheapest games that people use to mass level up their accounts, your chances of getting boosterpack drops are pretty slim.
There is only 1 pack dropped between all users whenever a badge is crafted. The higher the level of your account, the higher the chance of recieving it, but you still gotta fight thousands of other accounts for it and tons of accounts that have a much higher level and thus a higher chance of getting that drop aswell.
If you only own games that aren't really used for crafting badges much, or if the games are older, but expensive, you'll only be having the occasional guy trying to level their badge. "Fighting" over a single boosterpack drop in those cases is just as unlikely as winning some midtier lottery.
108 badges total. Probably 60 of those are games with many multiple levels. Masses of yearly award and season badges. Been doing it gradually since badges were a thing.
It’s definitely a games thing. Your level is okay, but you have such a small chance of getting a booster pack already that you need to cast a huge net. I actually got a They Bleed Pixels booster pack on October and that game came out in 2012.
No, you can get them just as you do normal cards, they're just very rare. I don't know if it's official numbers. There's a couple posts online from people on Reddit or Steam forums saying it's 1 in 100 chance but they're not citing any sources. It feels a lot more rare than that to me though. I would guess 1 in 300-400. That's what it feels like in my experience anyway.
I know how u feel I cant pull the foil chibi neptune card for the life of me from neptunia and the dogoos and somebody blew 130$ on 1 and a buyer is attempting to get one for over 60 dabloons
wow, I didn't know foils were a thing. I always just instantly sell my cards (but I used to just to convert them to gems. and now I have a useless pile, not enough to do anything with)
I haven't received a foil in about 10 years! 😔 Not a single drop from random gameplay and not a single lucky pull from booster packs. Although, when it comes to Booster packs I rarely open them as they are often worth more than the collective price of the loose cards.
I'm however, lucky that I get at least a single booster a month. The last 6-ish weeks I've gotten 3. Opened 2 of them and no luck there. I got a Halo booster and if I get a god-loke pull I could earn 6€. Worst case I lose 0.1€ of value. Still haven't decided whether to open it or not.

You can get $1+ for those, why are you crying?
OP's lobster is too buttery and their steak is too juicy it seems 😔

Ah your game library also matters, I have 1500
146 owned which majority....about 120 I guess...are not freebie games. Most of what I own are on PSN so my son can play on the TV while I'm on the PC

how many badges have you crafted?

Ngl, 13 years, 300+ badges, half dozen foil, and countless booster packs. It's random.
How many games do you have that are eligible for booster pack drops?
56 total, and as others have pointed out they need to be newer in order to benefit the most from packs I guess.

I’ve been on steam for 11 years and this is the first time I’ve learned about foil cards
my rarest card is a goku foil from dbfz lol
i have no idea which is my rarest card because all of them went to the market, i love trading jpg for money
Rats, FOILED AGAIN!
(get it, cause you got a foil, then a second foil...)
Are foils only in Booster packs?
No, you can get them just as you do normal cards, they're just very rare. I don't know if it's official numbers.

yeah i have two from random drops, a gordon freeman and one from CARRION
My account is 21 years old and I’ve only ever got 1 booster pack, wonder if staying logged in all the time has anything to do with it
cha ching
As someone new to Steam, can you explain the whole card thing?
1 in 10,000 chance by the way
