Rest assured that I read most threads in MTTc, particularly ones that mention PokerStars or PokerStars tournaments.

Million Steps aren't planned at this time. Compared to big ticket events like the APPT, PCA, the WSOP, etc... the Sunday Million is quite inexpensive. Also, there are tons of ways to get to the Million; many hundreds of satellites run per week.

You essentially run a weaker version of the STEPS to the million and other tourneys with the Round 1 and Round 2 sats. Why not just remove those and turn them into a 3 or 4 STEP system?

you already have the format setup with the Step 1-4 to the PCA.

Only ask cuz its obv many if not a majority of people would prefer STEPS over DS etc

Agreed. I don't play the DS. I sometimes play the 3r, 8r, and 11r sats when I want to play the mil. I'd be more inclined to play steps, but I am pretty happy with the turbo rebuys.

And I agree with other posters asking that the steps tickets to the major events be interchangeable. I can understand that stars does not want to take anyone out of the PCA steps system, but as long as it is a stars sponsored event, the tickets should be interchangeable imo.

Is it even worth playing the 6As if you don't care about the money back for lower prizes? I just care about winning a seat and 3 in 18 sounds a lot better than 1 in 9, but I'm a tourney idiot, am I missing something?

I very strongly agree. Step tournaments have much greater appeal for various reasons, for me the main reason being the perceived time commitment.

In steps, I can play basically when I want, and know that the tourney will be done within 1 hour. With the long rebuy events, you have to start at a certain time, and they could take much longer.

I really don't see what PS has to lose by offering steps to the sunday million. I can guarantee that you will receive more satellite play from me if you offered steps to the million, whereas now I do not play any satellites really.
