Well. Let's take the good or neutral news, they're so short that it won't take long. I rather much (would) like the new generalized ticket system, but:
- Jump from 109$ to 530$ event is just far, far too long. You should have kept some kind of 200$/215$/250$ level in between
- Satellites to those events look just horrible (how about some good old turbo rebuys with 12 levels latereg + 3x add-on that actually END in decent timezone
- Tournament names should reveal better what they are... "The Right Hook" with no explanation it being Turbo Rebuy event being one good example. Tournaments should show up from main lobby WHAT kind of tournaments they are.
Personally I lost about every interest just opening Party software anymore. This being mainly result of three things:
- Destruction of satellite program
- Removal of 3+r hyper (lol, it never overlayed)
- Removal of 10+r daily satellite (21.00 CET / 20.30 CET)
- Removal of most 5$-20$ interesting turbo rebuys and so on.
These added to earlier PLO8 and other tourney removals. Whilst I would like to able to play 55+r daily, I certainly have no special interest to remove small tournaments from my program and instead add daily 55+r to accomodate them as my avg. buy-in is about 15$.
I usually played some other events too, but right now I see 0 reason to pick them from Party in comparison to some other site like 888 who has better guaranteeds. As your new otherwise interesting promo requires one to play lots of highstakes tournaments, it just gives money to top tier of players and doesn't help me staying any more.
I think you should start by removuing those half price rebuys and make them regular ones (maybe with little more higher prizepool). They are in far more greater risk to overlay than regular ones.
You could also start by making some big guaranteed "general ticket" satellites. Give them some type of starting boost by like "deposit $50 to get $5 qualifier ticket", make it 5+r to 109$ event and give it like 100 ticket guaranteed and 2+r for 55$ event and you'll get more life in your daily tournaments and more recs to participate in them which would also serve making those tournaments more soft and accessible to low-stakes players.
Few other quick suggestions:
1) Quickly re-instate $5k hyper rebuy around 2100 CET. There was a reason why it was so popular and killing it also affects negatively to other tournaments.
2) Bring us some daily (Monday-Saturday) 10-20 tickets guaranteed turbo rebuy satellite to either Main Event or giving out general 109$ tickets. You really need to keep up feeding people to tournaments or they'll die out.
3) Give us more basic "bread and butter"-tournaments. You virtually killed so many tournaments that most players will go for good. Even if I would like to grind points to your new $100k freeroll promotion it's simply not possible with so few low-midstakes tournaments without directly going for high buy-in events. For instance, there should CERTAINLY be at least one low-midstakes turbo rebuy starting each hour during European primetime. Right now there's only "The Right Hook"
I was actually keeping my hopes up this time, hoping that you would see that PokerStars recent changes give you room to expand if you just want to. I guess I was fool to even think so.
