I never implied it was a new problem. However, I definitely think it's worse than it used to be. BF and European market segregation have been recent factors affecting the quality games and more people have compensated for this by mass tabling more than before. It's pretty absurd to claim that the situation is the same as it was 1.5 years ago never mind 4 years ago.

I've got no vested interest since 180 mans aren't and Zoom MTSNG wouldn't be my main game. Stars are gonna trial Zoom MTSNG eventually and the previous indication from Rush-OD on FTP suggests the recreationals will prefer them. All this reg-hate for Zoom SNG is just pointless.

Why not switch the $8 and $15 180s to 90s during off peak hours to help get games running. Right now at 9:54pm there is one $15 running and no $8 running. Stars must do something to get these games running again.

We have recently lost the Spanish players, the WSOP is on at the moment and so is Euro 2012. All of the above will have an impact on player numbers. I don't want to draw any conclusions about the offering though until after Euro 2012 and the WSOP.

The best place for any suggestions or comments on themes is the PokerStars Software Improvement Thread

We plan to show player lists in the main lobby for tournaments with up to 45 players. This should be in the next client update.

The MTTs have the leaderboard (which is pretty much impossible to climb when only playing MTTSNGs).

I would suggest removing all MTTSNGs from counting towards the MTT leaderboard and instead counting them towards a new system.
Ding ding ding.

Can you address this idea please Walmsley? It has been mentioned countless times itt. What are your reservations (if any) about adopting this idea?

Re: *** OFFICIAL PokerStars MTTSNG Suggestion Thread ***

PS Walmsley can you please answer the following questions:

1) What thoughts/discussions have taken place on the subject of SnG leagues/revision of BOP and how soon may changes be implemented?

2) Has any thought been given on slightly changing 180m payouts for there to be a step up from 16th to 15th and 13th to 12th? (I'd like to add that such changes WOULD NOT result in the earth falling over or worse yet, players going elsewhere).
