Re: Low end Supernovas looked over by new VIP program.
I think the bonuses are a step in the right direction. Personally I could do away with the freerolls and allow them to use that money in other ways, but we had a massive thread about that already.
I actually questioned why there wasnt a discount to use fpps for live events last year. I really think its in their best interest to have players spend their fpps on WPT and EPT etc vs anything else we could spend our money on.
Stars would get players to wear t-shirts etc and be able to tell their friends they went on a great trip just by playing at Pokerstars.
I appreciate that they are trying to make improvements and yes two years ago we wouldnt believe they were doing this, but the poker landscape is different now.
I just think that if a supernova isnt going to get at least 300vpps the value isnt that with the new milestones. I just think it was a valid suggestion, because the cost of getting a supernova to double the number of hands they play must cost them less than attracting a new supernova.
I'll decide in 3 months when I hit supernova again if I will continue on Stars or play Absolute/FT for the rest of the year.
I just know that a discount to buy in with fpps to WPT EPT events would definitely give stars all of my play this year. *which I estimate would give them an extra $40K in rake
I know that Stars actually listens to its customers suggestions which is why I emailed them (wether they make this change or not is up to them).
