What is wrong in this picture?

Once again, I propose a 5000 point limit on 500s. Analogically, a 20000 point limit on 2000s.

Pros:
- More players: 2k and 5k tables fill faster
- Also leads to less PGA at higher tables
- fairer 500 games
- fairer 2k and 5k games
- more reasonable point distribution
- less cowardice


Cons:
- Ryan doesn't care
- ....


It really grinds my gears when there is a 500 game going on, with a player sitting in with 30000 points, that refuses to play 2k (hurr durr too much PGA, won't fill), and consequently either kills the guy with 600 points (who gets -300, back to noob hell) or has a bad start, then weakflags for 5th place (this does happen more often than you think), cause he might lose 0.9% instead of 0.8% of his score. Stop this charade!

I've tried reasoning with people, but mandatory table limits seem to be the only solution.

Is there a con I'm overlooking?

No Trans, it would be just as easy, there would just be 2 2ks, maybe even a 5k and 3 500s going at a time instead of 5 500s(which is really fucking annoying when your over the limit). I like the idea.

If you forced people to play with Pat all day long Kdice would probably end.

Or for instance, when there are 7 500 games and 1 2k game...like right now.

A 10k limit would probably be more reasonable to allow enough 500 games during slow times. I'm for this change.

Shad bitched and moaned to Ryan to get him to raise the table limit on 500s. 20k limit for 500s would be nice, I think leaving the 2k limit at 100k is fine. The biggest thing is getting the 20k+ players off of the 500s.

I think something that should be noted is that even really late at night you were likely to find a 2000 elo game. Now it's difficult to find them.

table limits will increase the user base playing on certain tables. Furthermore, many players don't play 2k and 5k for reasons such as pga/favourtism, which aren't unfounded. However by increasing the user base you can also potentially decrease the effects of favourtism amongst regulars.

how about smaller tables. That'd work... 10k games?
