How long does it take to get a purchased account to a good Trust Factor?

[muffinlord1233]

Hey what's up guys, I messed up and got my main Vacced by accident. Didn't lose too much so it's not the end of the world and I figured I'd start out fresh by buying a 10 year and making it my main account now. Only issue is (as expected) it's Trust Factor is pretty shit, red warning for all of my friends. I've bought 50 games on the account in the last week and have idled a shit ton. Anyone have any experience with how long in the red I might be looking at?

It's still not even 100% known what Trust Factor is even based upon, and therefore impossible to give an estimate or even a gauge if it's moving at all in the right direction. From personal experience, playing many games without being reported over performing at extremely high levels nudges it strongly toward the green. I would wager hours doesn't actually affect it much, and that games played without issue affect it more.

Adding prime status through linking a phone number is confirmed by Valve to improve trust factor, as well as acquiring your rank after placement matches, so get on both of those. Best advice would just be to play as much as you can, as bought accounts almost exclusively drop heavily in trust factor (possibly an automatic system by Valve that detects a new account owner).

This specifically is what I was wondering about, wondering if anyone else on the forum has any experience with getting a bought account to a good trust or if they ever have been able to and what the timeline is/was
