- NC badges gone - check
- Spike/scatter graphs gone - check
Since I only play 6max cash (and the occasional MTT), that's all I really care about. Like the ignorant jackass I am, I consider all the talk about "enforceability", content, format etc of push charts and alike quite silly, simply because I see no future in any kind of game that can be or will soon be (weakly) solved. So I choose to fight the battles I care about and that I have a reasonable chance of winning, instead of trying to "defeat" math. If there's any hyper husngs still going on in 10 years, I'll eat my keyboard. And between now and then things will only go downhill for these sort of stillborn forms of poker.
Now onto enforceability of the things I bolded out above - people keep arguing about how "easy" it is for a programmer to bypass the rules and still produce the same functionality (SQL querying script & notepad was mentioned somewhere). Can I laugh my hairy ass off? I am by no means an expert, but I do have a bit of rdbms background. Just because something CAN be done, it does not mean it can be done in a PRACTICAL form. But hey, don't take my word for it. I look forward to those 24 tabling cybots replacing NC badges & graphs with SQL querying & notepad. I'm sure that'll prove to be just as efficient, practical and profitable.
And when (or if) PS gets their **** together and decides to stop dataming (which, as others have said, should be trivial by comparison), seat scripting and botting, the whole ecosystem should be way healthier than it is today. But things have to start somewhere, and this is a start.
