Erm- no. The ppl who are trying to bumhunt higher stakes without playing any regs I would not categorise as "ordinary" players.
The purpose of cartels is to drive these players out of the games.
In the old system say at 100s we have a bunch of regs sitting lobby waiting for fish to join. You then have some regs that sit other regs to move them down/stop them from bumhunting, and they may or may not be profitable vs them. The cartels are a system which encourages more reg battles, and to reward the regs that are willing to battle others and not just wait in queue for fish.
I can think of 2 possibly better ways to do it, but imo the current system is the best we can do:
1) Use sharky to reward reg battling- unfortunately the creator of sharky isn't willing to implement something that rewards sitting others in the queue, otherwise the whole cartel business wouldn't be needed.
2) Infinite lobbies at pokerstars- if this is implemented you can sit all you want and you would still be liable to be sat. This increases action between waiting regs, who have no way of play other ppl in a queue on stars currently. This is better than no cartels, but to some extent still has some bumhunting nature. But as you cannot decline action at husngs, the lobby will never be similar to hucash at least.
