1. Please give us an option to hide the "BlackJack21" symbol from our screen. To be honest, it's annoying to even see it on my screen, especially when I have zero interest in lighting money on fire.
2. The in-game hand history is awful. It needs to be completely redone. Basically, I recommend scoping out PokerStars' and Full Tilt's setup. Theirs are done similarly and are far superior to RPM's (Merge's?) current setup.
3. The chat box is too cluttered. It should be blank when only player chat is displayed. Nobody ever looks at the chat box to find out who won or what their hand is/was. We have the in-game hand histories for that. It's very hard to follow conversation when what someone says gets bumped by automatic text in that tiny box. Even when I detach the chat it's still annoying to have to scan through the auto-stuff to find individual player chat, which is all I want to see in my chat box anyway.
4. 6-max NLO8 tables please. Also, your NLO8 SNGs are messed up. There's a NLO8 HU SNG that says "0/2000" in the lobby lol...There's actually quite a few odd things going on in your SNG lobby that should be cleaned up.
5. Docking feature.
6. Access to the tournament lobby should take one click.
7. MTT and SNG filters need several new options such as filter by game type or by the icons in the legend.
8. Show available VIP points and tourney tickets underneath where it shows your cash balance in the lobby. It's kinda stupid that I have to click on a tournament, then click register, then close the registration window, then click register again all just to find out how many VIP points I currently have. Did I say kinda stupid? It's actually ridiculous.
9. Way too much lag and memory consumption from the client!
10. When cascading, the table that I choose the cascade option on should automatically show at the front of the line.
11. When tiling, the tables should set in the section they're nearest. That way, when I move a table to the bottom left corner, for example, tiling will set it in that particular corner, and not back up to the top right as if it were "memorized" there as the current setup does. The grid option is worthless imo and should be done away with.
12. Some kind of hot key to cascade, tile, default size a table, etc.
13. Auto add-on and double-rebuy buttons. There should be an easy way to rebuy so that it is easily done before the start of the next hand if I'm eligible.
14. If we have pending bonuses that we're not currently clearing, we should know about them. There should be a way for us to choose which bonus we want to clear first like in a queue without having to contact support. In other words, automate that ish!
15. Please color code all "balance adjustment" and "bonus" entries in the ledgers. Or at least do something to make them easier to find. Ledgers can get lengthy and it's very hard to find certain items you're looking for when every single entry looks the same. Also, it would be nice to note the date for which an adjustment or bonus is in reference to.
Please remove these dozens of high stakes SNG tables perpetually cluttering up the place. For example, the STT Turbo 6-max tables include $119, $194, $235, $350. And the stakes jump from $22 to $119. Why not add a $33?
My impression is that Merge has abandoned the software and is just putting out the occasional maintenance upgrade for major bug fixes. Has there been a single software suggestion in the entire 84 pages of this thread in the last two years that has been implemented? Or to put it another way, are we just being placated?
There is a problem with Merge HH's. I would like to suggest to Merge to fix it and see if anyone else notices the issue.
Whenever someone gets really low on chips in a tourney due to just losing a hand for most but not all of their chips Merge will output the HH saying that that player has 0 chips when he fact he obv has chips.
This is so annoying and a big hassle. Everyone that notices this give a thumbsup or a +1 ITT, so maybe Merge is more likely to go about fixing this issue.
Make the TLB straight payouts instead of having to play a freeroll to try to cash. Kind of pointless to chase 1st on the leaderboard when you only get like $50 in ev and the guy in 200th gets $30 ev in the same freeroll.

I use the detached chat to look at the action constantly, please don't remove this.
^^^ that is what the hand history is for. however, what i'm asking for wouldn't remove what you want kept. showing dealer chat in the box is an option you can choose to keep on. my complaint is that i turn that option off and i still get this stupid text telling me what hand i have and who won the pot and it keeps me from reading player text and when i'm playing a bunch of tables i don't have time to detach the box and scroll thru the non-player chat
the chat box should be empty with only player chat if i choose to have dealer chat off
the hand history should show all the action. the image that shows up now is uber confusing and too hard to read plus the text at the top is poorly scripted. the whole damn thing should be scrapped and replaced by exactly what FT and PS have...it's 100x better and actually readable
If Merge is going to have these awesome rebuy tourneys like the new $1 turbo rebuy.. the double rebuy feature HAS to be implemented. The 30 minutes between late reg and the 30k addon is really frustrating if you bust in that time period as you are only going to be able to rebuy with like 4 or 5bb.. instead of like 10bb.

I have some good news! There are changes being made as we speak to the tournament payout structures. Changes are also being made to the hand for hand mode. All of these changes should be completed in roughly 2-4 weeks.
This SNG now has two players sitting in it, and if you open the tourney lobby, it implies that the tourney won't start until 2000 people get in. #wtfRPM?
The 3r 109 satellite has a few problems, it's advertised as unlimited $3 rebuys for 3k chips, and a $3 20k chip addon. You start with 1500 chips and are not allowed to rebuy for 3k unless you're under 1500 which is a bit odd.
In the addon period, you're not allowed to addon. It pops up and instantly says addon period is over when you click to buy the addon, it didn't allow anyone in the tournament to addon. Kind of annoying since I stuck around rebuying for 3k chips (1bb) at a time waiting for the addon, would appreciate it if this is fixed.

I'd like to see the 20:30est $2 rebuy synchronized with the :55 min breaks.
There is a big full-ring no-limit tourney gap between 21:00 and 23:30 est.
Would love to see a $4.40 rebuy added at 22:00 or 23:00 est that plays a little deeper than the $3 rebuys(with a 2k beginning stack with 2k rebuys and 3k add-on stack)
Ideally I'd like to see the following full-ring tourneys added in the evening:
I think these tourneys would help hold eastern time zone players on the network and bring in more players from the west coast. As of now the full-ring tourney gap on the west coast goes from 6pm-8:30pm a pretty key time zone to want to bring players onto the network at.
There is a gap in the afternoon that is similar for low limit full-ring tourneys I believe.

The tournaments that stay "announced" with no GTD until an hour before the starting time.
Can you open registration for them earlier, and add a small GTD prizepool to them? As it is they never run at all.
