That's cool how you state an opinion like a fact with nothing to back it up.
I check WSOP volume almost everyday and even during the promotion it tends to be on par with Party. Rarely does WSOP significantly exceed Party volume despite the fact that there are 3-4 regulars at some tables when leaderboard is running. Without the leaderboard, WSOP is often a ghost town.
If you adjust all the games I have played to this point to the 70/30 structure I would have made an additional $3467.10 playing the WRONG structure. If I had been playing a style to maximize 70/30 I would have taken even more money from the SNG economy and I am only one person. So obviously since it benefits me I would be all for a 70/30 structure if we had excess liquidity, but we can't spare any. SNGs are on continually on the brink, I can't remember the last $200 I played and many a night goes by without even a $100 going off.
A permanent leaderboard for Party would go a long way to shoring things up. Also reducing the rake at $50+ SNGs would help some of the $20 winners to move up.
