I really don't feel like I should even have to reply to bitter, nasty, jealous, angry posts like this one and won't reply any further to users like this but I think its important the stance on the team is very clear and that they aren't unfairly criticised. I promise to other users on this forum, all members of the team also want software to be better, also want the tournaments to be optimised and all have a voice that is able to be heard in different channels.
I've obviously used huge exaggeration and sarcasm to point out key thing that needs to be taken care of before anything else on Party in order to become a serious competition to PokerStars - stable software. I simply feel like Party management puts too much pressure in creating brand (via Pro Team) and advertising product (online) that is not yet ready to keep new clients. I do agree that pro's get more players to the site, but based on MTT fields over last couple of months I don't really see these players staying at your site as regular customers.
No matter how great Pro Team is, no matter what promotions you create, at the end of the day recreational players won't use your product anymore if they got disconnected in the middle of Sunday major when having a great stack, or they have tripled up at the end of day1 only to find out their stack got reverted to state 1h before. They'll just settle with P* offering stable software , better variety of games and better experience overall.
I know you know that Pads, and I know you're mad at the end of the day by how your job is partly wasted by incompetence of Party's software team right now
Regarding schedule I'll be happy with whatever you guys create as long as you keep one schedule stable for couple of months. Let both regs and recreationals get familiar with your tournaments, let them get used to certain buyins/formats/gtds in certain timeframes and set up their daily schedules around Party schedule instead of P* only. I feel like constant changes are actually detrimental to fields' expansion right now.
Daily majors are great idea, it's worked perfectly on Stars and 888 over the years, no reason why it couldn't work for you as well.
PS: To actually give some positive feedback and credit to PartyPoker Team Pro, I'm extremely happy about how you guys put some pressure on P* in regards to live tournaments, looking forward to competitive trend being continued in 2018.
