Re: The myth of PS rakeback
"people also don't seem to ever add in the FT points system or the iron man when they say the SN stars 30% is better then tilt. At tilt we get the 27% no matter what the points(which are crappy) and the iron man.
When you have held iron man for 13 months you get 400 medals a month for iron man. that translates into another 100$ or so a month if you use it for the bonus. after you take rakeback thats still the 73 dollars. i would guess most people don't generate anuff rake where that 73 would be more then 3% rake for the month to make up the difference not even counting the FT points system.
BTW FT iron man system you can get to the 13 months sooner then most casual players will get to supernova.
As for the bonus's i believe Tilt crappy bonus' tend to be bigger then stars crappy bonus' even with rakeback taken out."
You are right jkpoker. For some SN and SNE on Stars they may be better off and obviously for those who can't get RB on FTP there is no argument. However, for the vast majority who get RB you are finacially better off on FTP.
Having said the above, I am playing Stars at the moment because of the software and support. It is far superior.
This forum however is full of Stars supporters who only see through rose tinted glasses. If you question anything you just get dumb replies about how good the service is. And that is never the question at hand.
If people just said yeah I can see your point but I play at Stars because of other reasons that would be fine. I am sure half of the posters don't even read and think of a decent reply. They just see people having a dig at Stars regardless whether it is justified or not. But all you get is flamed for putting another point of view. Flame away guys
