I agree. I proposed something like this at one point, but cannot find the thread.
I think that for cash games you should only be allowed to play 3 levels below your highest buyin. So if you play the $50 h2hs you can also play $5-20 ones. But if you play the $109 h2hs you can't play the $5 ones, but can still play the $10 ones. If you're playing the $215s then you can't play the $10s in that slate. I would say that once you hit $100 it is a free for all and you can play 10ks and $109s to make sure there is an opportunity for volume.
I would also keep this rule in place for all GPPs with fewer than 1k entries. If there are more than 1k entries in a gpp then you can play it even if its a $3 GPP and you're playing the $5,300 Thunderdomes too.
Then, as a last step, they could reduce the multi-entry levels to still allow volume but on a much smaller scale. Say they allow only 100 entries into the millionaire maker. Its restrictive to some guys like you, but not so restrictive that you can't still get some real volume in and push an edge.
