You'll have sooooo many more players playing as many events as possible.
I do think you guys made a mistake doing away with TCOOP and switching to Turbo Series.
COOP means something to a lot of players - I started playing all the ftops & coops cause I wanted a title - then when I won one; I wanted more....I take a lot of pride in being a triple crown coop winner - making an event mean less will not attract more recs imo - events are what attracted me to play an event when I was a rec. The history of the game means a lot to poker players and COOP has a place in poker history.
Would WSOP ever change the name of their event to the Summer Heat series and remove bracelets......? Um noooo because they know thats why people come to Vegas to chase glory and history.
IMO you should be trying to make your event more meaningful not less.

Why in the world would you take the prestige away from these events? Every single tournament is more meaningful when you have a leaderboard, not to mention prizes for each tournament winner (bracelets, watches, etc..).
As Mike mentioned above, a PSPC package for the overall winner would be a perfect opportunity to attract more players to play as many events as possible, recs and regs alike. I personally love grinding for 2-3 weeks to see how high I can get on the leaderboard and I'm sure I'm not alone.
It's a shame to see such a valued tournament series like TCOOP get removed, but even more disappointing that its replacement is a significant downgrade.
COOPs are a way of giving back to the players, and removing them will certainly hurt the overall ecosystem of Pokerstars. With the rewards system recently being changed to the dismay of many players, you would think Stars would want to reward players in other aspects to make up for significantly less rakeback, but this is another step backwards IMO. Let's hope we don't lose SCOOP/WCOOP.
