I haven't read every detail of this thread but I think it is a moderate annoyance if high stakes players ignore this strike and a MASSIVE problem when players decide to try financially capitalize off of it.
why would they, 3 days won't make up for all the $ they will lose next year if everyone thinks like they do...

Sucks to hear about this, I have been away from the game for quite a few years, just getting back into it, was never more than small stakes player, but just knowing Stars would mislead players like this so they bust their hump to hit SNE just to have the rewards taken away at the end, is a ****ing disgrace. Anyways count me me in ofc.

Ccour small stakes Mtt's

The point being that clearly not everyone thinks like they do and individuals can capitalize through being selfish

As with many things in life we cannot control the actions of others -We can only take the path we believe to be the best for our own peace of mind -whatever that may be & those with a higher profile should be prepared to explain why they are striking and also those that are not should also explain why they are refusing to take part. Would it help to run a "Name & Shame" thread for any grinders that play ? I for one would not support that as to further divide the community helps no one in the end.Good Luck to all those boycotting.

I don't think there is any issue with grinders playing to get SNE, pay bills, buy hookers and blow etc. I think the issue is that I fear a decent number of people will specifically capitalize off of this by upping volume, upping stakes etc. There may just be nothing we can do to stop this though

Cool. If we are onit lets start shaming coaches, videoproducers, strategy poasters, book writers, pg, hudsellers etc. as well. Im fairly pissed that those guys aggressively capitalize off of this...
Ohhhwait, teh irony

Nothing short of certain its going to happen-Already heard one known pro say so yesterday. But yes cant stop them & other than outing them via social media ,which is pointless as they obv don't care how they are perceived by others,nothing we can do .

what i was gonna say..

milestones are just excuses...
11-30-2015 , 03:55 PM
It's pointless arguing, Just help and be part of it and spread the word or play if u feel the need to. U can also work half an hour extra to receive your milestone after 3th dec. I like all the attention and willingness to change, great work.

Same here but i will take part anyway and take this time to rest and study the game. I have to collect 27500 vpps to hit 200k and i haven't got this much vpps in a month b4 this year.

This thing here is way more important!
