Summer starting, in effort to save some face ipoker is - agressively faking "total number of connected players "
It is a number that was never reliable, but the proof that is manually altered at whim: Like last NYear eve ipoker had a major server crash/ malfunction. After it that number was stuck at one same value for like days... Tech team went on Holidays, school in Russia was out
And then for a week or two after number was going up and down, you could see that they would just input some figure ... they would like to See there... and then it would 'stuck' again.
-Now the number is alternating, but in such a fashion... -it never drops off at a realistic rate after peak times, not at a rate it would for last 5 years i played the network and payed attention...
So these days sometimes it Shows ~8000 logged players, supposedly, around 6am UK time. Last summer it showed 900 some players at those hours (yes three digits you see the shame). During summer for the last few years 8k players was the peak for ipoker, in -evening hours.
- Actively and intentionally persistently faking like that, such a misleading information in order to represent liquidity... is, just...
- Lets say legally it is on par with -still making stacked tables do not jump to action, intentionally, even if that ''option'' is always Selected. Because only regs use that and guess what, if a fish puts a casino table in front instead, it WILL pop to front after some time, by itself. With no reason/ action required, why need a reason to remind you of your, slots...
Before you just abandon the whole network over the busiest days of the week, have a nice Friday and the weekend, gentlemen from 'tech team'. Both of you. And stop doing silly illegal things with the poker network of ~10 of largest gaming brands in whole world, before at dead hours it comes to -two digit players...
