You don't need to reward people who don't want to play.
It's one thing to practice good bankroll management and not play people that crush you (or degen up stakes), but it's another to use the system as a crutch for never improving your game.
The 8 regs you see, odds are each one would have an edge over another one. Over time, they would all have clear edges. They avoid each other because it is not worth it to them, but it's only not worth it because of the system put in place.
I'm not saying FTP needs to change their system, but if Stars changed theirs I'd be pretty upset. I think the Stars one is superior, but I like that both sites have different setups. Nobody can complain. If you hate either one, play at the other site, they both have plenty of action and relatively equally skilled playerbases.
