That's true, but a lot of people, myself included, won't bother entering a 33 sweeps mtt, unless there was an absurd amount of overlay. From my experience playing on the site, I think there are a lot of people who would enter a 100, 200, or even higher stakes sweeps mtt, that just aren't playing any mtts on global because the stakes are too low.
A site like wsop.com doesn't have as much traffic as global does, and still runs a weekly 200$ mtt, nightly 50$ mtts, and occasionally runs 500$ rebuy mtts and other high stakes mtts that typically meet higher guarantees then what I've suggested here. Wsop.com has a weekly 200$ 20k guaranteed mtt.
I think that a weekly 200+ sweeps mtt, would easily draw a decent field, and probably help global increase traffic/redeposits as some people might get tired of sweeps cash games, but redeposit if they saw a mtt with a decent 1st prize.
