Absolute Poker ARP's rate changed

[MR_WOLFF]

I was playing today and noticed they are earning much slower. I used to earn 25*3=75arps per hand when I played big games. Today I maxed out at 5*3=15 ARPs per hand. to put this in a $$ example I used to earn;
75ARps * 0.015= $1.125
15ARps * 0.015= $0.225

AP is this just another way to take a little off the top?

in order the reduction in bonus/rake/perks

2005 raked hand must now be 0.50
2006 raked hand must be contributed
2007 now only 75 points to earn 10.00
2007 increase rakeback % system wide to 30%
2007 take 20% off the top and say its for fees (MGR)
2007 stop giving reload bonus
2008................just load yuor money and cashier says FURK YOU AZZ HOLE

When did you notice this change? Did they make some sort of announcement on this or did they do it in the middle of the night like they did with the bonus clearing requirements?

typical Absolute if true......I've cashed out for points before and have 60k right now...thinking I should just cash these out before they take that promotion away.

Holy [censored] I feel like I'm going to die if this is true. I absolutely hate playing anywhere else since stars sucks and full tilt is rigged. son of a bitch god damn it.

Does anyone know if this has affected the low or mid limits? OP was referring to when he played higher limits. Can someone verify 10/20 and below rates?

And OP, don't forget Feb 1 2007 change to weighted contributed RB.

I officially left AP April 1st (no foolin'). After changing bonus clearing requirements and rakeback calculations I was close to leaving. Then the bonuses dried up and I lost Platinum VIP status. I said see ya!

Absolute site still lists same point structure.

.1 points for each $.40 in final pot will be awarded to players based on percent contribution to the pot.
