Also when writing emails, please don't insult support guys. They are one part of that company which do their job amazingly well. They deserve respect, it's greedy management which screw things up. We should encourage support to pass on the message for sure, however insulting those messages might be, without putting on the heat on poor support workers.

The main reason to complain would be the VIP program moneygrab tho, changing to WC from dealt without adjusting the VIP program accordingly simply means they will be paying players less in bonuses than before.

Posting PS screennames on that list isn't such a good idea, there's really no benefit whatsoever and it just helps PS to block the protest if they try to do that.

Also since most regs at least from non english-speaking countries don't even have a 2+2 account, there should probably be a lot more people actually protesting than signing up here.

It would be nice to explain in the facebook page the 5handed rake increase, so people can understand that they are directly increasing rake around a 10%, or whatever the percentage is, in addition to the rakeback decrease.

Not gonna protest but I won't be playing on PS NLHE/PLO cashgames during that time. I don't want to be nuisance for you guys.

It's one thing to be aware that somewhere in cyberspace 2+2 is arguing over this matter and another thing to be bombarded by unhappy customers.

However, I do want to protest against the rake increase and imo the rake was already too high for the current state of the games. The rake should be lowered instead of increased!

I missed about the email. Is it just a protest email to support, or is there a specific email we should voice our opinion at?
