- Increases rake back for fish (thus stars has to give LESS to those who care if they want to maintain same profit margin). So do you want to not wait in the cost of 1% loss of rakeback? Do you have some mental problem or why is it unacceptable to have one table sitting at the edge of the screan.
Same goes with the idiotic ideas about CONTRIBUTED rake. When you give more to fish you have to give LESS to regulars if the same profit margin is expected.
Contributed will move people that dont care about their level to a higher level. Means more rakeback for fish. More rakeback for fish means less rakeback for regulars unless the profit margin is cut. etc. etc.
Jesus stop these print money ideas. Someone has to pay the bill. Be happy it's not you and enjoy what you get.

Hint: When would I want to leave the table? Probably after I fold my UTG hand, which I will be doing a huge majority of the time. What seat does that open? The cutoff? Nope, try again. It's pretty funny that you liked the option to "sit out and close table" since that does exactly what you are complaining about.
LOL at saving fish money. Who do you think the most likely players to leave before the end of the hand are? All the sharks and regs know they have to stay at the table because it has been discussed for years here but Stars has never bothered to get it right. The fish have no idea, don't particularly care, and leave tables at all sorts of seemingly random times.
You came up with a bizarre reason to protest this that does not apply. I can only assume you misunderstood.
Cliffs: When I leave a table after folding my UTG hand, the big blind opens for the beloved fish you want to protect, even though using fish protection for this issue is laughable. I am then able to go fill another table faster, perhaps even posting the big blind at a new table more frequently because others are also leaving after folding UTG hands. Fish no longer lose vpps because they don't know this hidden rule regarding VPP awarding.
Seriously, WTF. I guess somebody can be found to protest anything.
