Many posts are saying "I'll wait for the single table step 6..."
Is there any indication that they'll actually implement a single table step 6? or is it just wishful thinking on everybody's part?
OT

One of the PS support people came into one of these Step threads and said it was probably going to happen sometime in the future...but they have been saying that about the MAC client for the last two years so not sure if it will ever happen anytime soon.
I also wonder if they are concerned that a single table STEP 6 would basically make the 18 man STEP 6 obsolete.
Not sure anyone beside people who thought they had a big edge would play them when with a 1 man you would be a lock to win something no matter where u finished.

With the current structure, more seats will be offered to the PCA.
That is the goal of steps. If they offered a 6-max winner take all, that's one thing, or a 9 max with 3 re-dos only and adjust the cost of rake to fit. But once you get to the final level, moving down to level 3 and 4 is absurd.

The whole concept of the STEP system is players remain in the system either at the same level or below. Thus micro donks see it as a means for them to try for a big ticket item without a ton of risk...compared to say playing the $33 rebuy or DS etc. So a 1 table STEP 1 makes way more sense than a 2 table STEP 6. Most players who get to a STEP 6 then finish 4-18 will probably just stop playing them in general instead of starting over at LEVEL 1 or 2. In part because it ain't easy working your way up from the bottom rungs.
A 1 table STEP 6 keeps the majority of people who make it to that Level in the STEP system, thus giving them multiple shots at winning a ticket...either with another STEP 6 ticket or a STEP 4 or 5.
If the goal was to get as many people to the PCA they would run the $650 sats with [censored] of supersats into them like every other day. They wouldnt bother with STEPS
