You get 50% of 1 badge for free. End of discussion. Selling the cards, turning into gems, snorting them like cocaine...all of these will do nothing at all. Steam does not care.

>"Idling Complete"
Long story short: You've run out of cards to gain from the idlemaster program. Steam/Valve give you only half (50%) of 1 single badge level for free. The rest you're expected to buy or trade for.
In short your idlemaster "Car" is out of fuel. You want it to get you more cards? Buy or obtain (via giveaways) more card-giving games.

To pre-empt a few followups I often get:
"Can I use <Free to play game, usually TF2> for cards?": Yes but you'll need to pay them about $20 USD to get 1 free card. Not cost effective but a nice freebie if you would spend that cash anyway.
"How do I get more games?": Check the storefront for cheap deals, you can easily get games 50c or less. Or if you're unable/unwilling to pay, join one of the dozens of giveaway groups, who will host giveaways or link to giveaways (depending on the group)
"Will turning the cards into gems/trading the cards mean it will work after they're gone?" Nope. Once your counter hits 0 that's the end.

No, Idlemaster slips past that.

Nope. You'll be fine.

I mean what is Blizzard going to do? Ban you for owning Steam? They kind-of can't do that, it's not in their ToS.

This actually has been addressed multiple times, but since I'm here I'll answer again.

This isn't an issue with idlemaster. This is how Steam set up their card drops. You get drops when you "close" the game. The community of Idlemaster has found that the most efficient way to obtain cards is to open idlemaster, run a game for about 1-5 minutes, then click "next game". Repeat this process until you run out of valid games in your IM. Reload the list either by closing the program or by changing a game order setting. Repeat until you hit idle complete.

Then start the cycle again once you have acquired more games.

Read the FAQ. Run both as administrator.

Or better yet, run neither as admin. This is more likely to work out than the other way around.

I have 170 Keys, should I sell them? I got the vac error because after I closed the application, I launched cs and went into casual to open some sticker capsules, and got kicked mid game.

No. Just reboot Steam and go.
