I'm in the same boat mate, I don't want to spend money on badges anymore, and I don't craft badges anymore except for steam events because you get free cards when you buy games

I feel you. Rounded level numbers are so nice. I'm bothered with my level 301, but not willing to spend any more money on badges (unless it's from money I [rarely] get from booster packs) - this year I've crafted only three badges LOL. Oh, and Steam events badges, of course :)
