What's with the new VPP system stars wants feedback on ?
FR grinders seem to be going nutso.

here

Usual panic when change is suggested, but I can't quite tell what it means yet

 

[eNTy]

As far as I can make out it's better for 6max and hu players but worse for FR ?
But they still want feedback so maybe they'll change it some more.

Seems to be the gist of it but I'm sure there's more to it than that.

all the FR nit FPP grinders are claiming they'll change sites if it happens though. i'm sure only some of them will, but i wonder if the games being a tiny bit fishier would make up for what we lose in "rakeback"

either way, i definitely believe that it's unfair to implement a change that hurts any of your loyal grinders in the middle of the year. think about it, there are mindless robotic FR dudes grinding out hands towards SNE. they have a schedule and know what they have to play each week to reach it, and that's going to be the source of the bulk of their planned income. this change could absolutely crap on their entire year. and these mindless robotic dudes have human families! just wouldn't be cool. if they have to tinker with it in a way that will hurt anybody (even if it's good for the majority of the players), save it for next year

 

[Irexes]

Yup, if there's any negative impact on anyone it would be extremely unfair to implement in-year.

holy shit I drank a lot of beer this weekend.

 

[vanquish]

they'll give less VPPs for FR players, but 5x more for UK players, so a lot of you guys don't have to worry

 

[blankoblanco]

also UK players will receive a back massage every time they lose a coinflip

this will be eradicated when weeks later stars launches a new promotion that UK players are no longer allowed to lose coinflips

 

[switch0723]

shouldnt have moved from stars probably then

 

[Lemlywinks]

Ah i see switch

lol extended, since you were praising it earlier, i assume this extended downswing is like 500 hands ?

yes yes I know. tiny little samples but I don't play a lot. So my swings throughout my career are very short in comparison. But to me it's long considering my average sessions.
