2. No filter for S&Gs / Tournaments. With no filter, we are only seeing a portion of the population actually playing these since they're so hard to find.
3. Remove S&Gs from the list once they start running. They're taking up way too much scrolling room.
4. Lag.
5. Not allowing late registration (even for 30 minutes)? The excuse I've read on here is the "this is a recreational site. It's good for the game." I completely disagree, as the majority of players want to win big prizes in tournaments, not to try to win a 60-person S&G called a tournament.
6. Not showing empty cash tables. How am I supposed to start a table?
7. Not having the specific window pop up when it's my turn to act.
The empty cash tables are below all the running ones. People have been asking for a lot of this for months...they're not going to listen. You're right, it seems like they have it in their head that a lot of this is going to kill the action at the site. That's BS IMO. I agree with not allowing HUDS, but with everything else?? Why can't you have both. Have some of the same MTT's as they have now and some that have late reg, bigger stacks, and better structures. I think most fish stopped playing online on BLACK FRIDAY, not because of people bumhunting, ect. They're back on here playing now because they can LEGALLY cash out and because of Global's advertising.
Take wait lists for example. Someone posted a thread asking for wait lists and then the cavalry came on to say how much it'd ruin the site and they stopped that...ok cool, whatever. But I think they are taking that philosophy and applying it to every request they deem "Reg friendly." Like the breaks for the MTT's. This was before I started playing here, but apparently they already tried to fix them once, which is why they all start 55 minutes INTO the tourney. They must have misunderstood what everyone wanted, which is fine, but several of us have asked and they continue to not respond. I don't know if they think synchronized breaks are not REC friendly or what.
Lot's of ways they could improve the playing experience here without being ACR. No HUD's and no Rakeback should be ENOUGH.
