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.

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.

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

Im striking since midseptember and in fact thought about making a comeback those 3 days but i cant be bothered to give them one moar cent of my precious rake so its not happening and on teh brightside i can also avoid all teh hypocritical bs i wouldve gotten if i had put in dat 72 hour adderall session

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.

How many are participating in this strike? Has it reached the goal of 1000?

Either way I wanna be part of it.

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!
