It also kind of ruins the unique playing experience. When you have to worry about tournament life in event which is run twice a year, you will likely remember all the tought decisions even one year later. Re-entry factor makes XL Main Event not special and I think that your biggest MTT Event is meant to be special.
We too had mixed feelings about this decision. Reaching record prizepools which would attract more players was the main consideration in favor, while keeping Main Event's "special" factor with one bullet only was the downside of this. I can assure you our Main Event will still have super value though, due to our 3 months of satellites, including different paths which will allow many recreational players in. We will see how the Main Event goes this time and will consider this decision again for future series.
