I've never played a single DoN in my life but I can imagine the collusion potential so maybe there is something stars can do to save these games rather then destroy them completely?
Why is it not possible to have 1 single DoN registration at each level (e.g 2.20, 4.40, w.e it is I don't even know the entry fees) while having 10+ "phantom" tourney's and a randomization tool which allocates each player to a random tourney in said entry fee. If stars could implement some sort of RNG software which takes into account players who have already sat at the same table this session or are already sitting at the same tables it could prevent the colluders from a tleast playing every single DoN at the same time, this will minimize their edge as they really don't know if they'll be in the same one and if they are, they won't be again for 5+ (random estimate here) DoN's.
They should make the tourneys start 10-15 minutes apart but you are still able to register to as many as you like this way it gives stars the opportunity to change up the player pools and gives players the ability to play as many as they would have anyway, maybe a little less but this could be the compromise stars and the regulars complaining in this thread make.
If these fill up as fast as you guys say, it will provide a greater challenge to colluding players to play in the same DoN as each other.
This is just a thought, I haven't really thought it through too much but maybe you guys could help stars come up with something that implements what I said as I feel like theres likely a flaw somewhere but as I said I haven't thought about it much since I don't really care whether these exist or not.
Complaining in this thread will not get you what you guys want. I'm sure stars has considered the cost-benefit analysis of this scenario and obviously the players they lose from this will not reduce their profits significantly enough or will provide them with less work to do in terms of security measures, etc. Seriously, if you do this for a living either figure out a way to fix it or figure out a new game because threatening a multi-billion dollar organization with your business will not get you what you want no matter the rake you provide them.
Also - stars know you have nowhere else to go
