for example the old 1.75 18-men turbo now its 1.50.
or the "new" 1 dollar 18-men normal now it is 1.50.
normal 27-men yesterday it was 1 dollar now it is 1.50.

oooo gotcha. I wasn't sure if you were referring to the buyin structures or the blind structures. lol

I like it when the 18 mans are lower than $1.75 as it'll bring more players over the the $3.50s.

Seriously. What are they smoking? One minute I am grinding 6 maxes and HUs at the 5.2ish level...I log out for half an hour...come back ...click on my usual tabs (filters on) and have the sign "No games meet your preferences." No it isn't a mistake. They have upgraded all those games to a flat $7 buy in. I know a Stars man spies on these forums so please give us a bloody clue. What the hell is going on?? I am going to have to grind lower to get my BR high enough to deal with some of the high variance hyperturbs I play. GG stars.

As of late I've returned to playing SNG-only. So: Pls Stars, stop messing around with the buy-ins. This last update of today rly sucks. The old structure was perfectly alright, but these new 3.50, 7 and 15 $ buy-ins .... Ok, maybe it's just that I'm not used to the new amounts. But up to yesterday I got 9.75 for a win at the 4.xx ones, now I get only 8.33 at the 3.50 NLO8 KOs. Not good.

i agree they should just leave the buy ins at some point but it kinda worthless to complain about getting less more for some buy in and some type of game. In fact u get more money playing Omaha8 K.Os now in general since they raised the buy ins ( exe. the $4 dollar level ). U also get more money in the 18man turbos if u grinded 6.50s b4. It's always a matter of perspective. I wish they had raised them all but oh well

Indeed some of us are perfectly aware of this. But lets talk about sample size. They have changed both the buyins and the structures at least 4 times by my reckoning in less than a month. I can therefore, expect another change in about a weeks time then I suppose.They need to stick with a change for a lot longer to realise the full effect (or the long term lag effect as my Economics professor once stated) .There is no amount of changing that will bring traffic up pre Black Friday, so why piss off those customers that remain? Some of their changes may garner them more profit. However, speaking from a personal perspective (again not an entirely representative sample size) their current changes mean most of us will almost certainly play less. Indeed, some of us are becoming so disenfranchised with the "market leader" that we are considering leaving Stars altogether. What might that do to their profit ?

IMO the ability to reg for multiple games was long overdue.

As for the introduction of the turbos at the same buy in IMO its a bit of a mistake just now. The traffic is obviously down so i think trying to spread the traffic left over turbo/regular speed is just going to slow traffic even more.

Apart from that it feels to me there has been too much chopping and changing at a time when traffic in the game was in a delicate situation if there were going to be changes fair enough but it should have been 1 set of changes.

Just my 2 cents.

Also do we have 2 buy in levels covering mercury division in BOTP now and none covering mars?
The core buy ins for the $3.50,s which were the old $4.10s are $3.50($2.56+$0.64+$.30) the $2.56 is taken as the buy in for BOTP right?

Hey Manndl

Lol , its actually the reverse i generally avoid you if im trying to do well in a high orbit you open a lot of pots pre = less pot control = more variance = lower scores for me so i usually give you a wide berth

Ah i didnt realise they still counted towards mars i thought it was the actual buy in - bounty/rake that counted as on sharkscope. Thanks
