^^^ Agreed.
But I think that there needs to be some way to more evenly spread the credits between the community. Which the GH does an excellent job in.

Ok, I've been wondering. Where do all these credits come from? To get a million credits just from playing the game you'd need at least 50 billion grand total score, and only two people have that, and from what I'm seeing there are loads of people who have at least seven-figure amounts of credits and can dish out (half-)million credits bets around as they wish. So there's a very large external source of credits that don't come from playing the game. I've noticed that too - I have slightly under 6000 credits from games, but 50000 from a sponcon and 15000 from gambling hall and 500 from the powerball thingy, making 71000. It kind of defies the whole original point of credits if the amount you get from playing the game is negligible compared to the amount you get from elsewhere.

What are these external credit sources? Sorry if that's common knowledge but I don't see what value the credit has if it defies its own original purpose. It's like making money by quantitative easing and ignoring the inflation problem.

The official tournaments alone bring in millions of credits as well as other official events.

Wait, you can have negative credits now? haha

**qqwref** · 12-15-2012, 12:25 PM

Haha what? That shouldn't even be close to possible.

dAnceguy117 · 12-15-2012, 01:03 PM

I know this suggestion is wayyyyy out there and probably not feasible, but how sick would FFR poker be? win an FFR tournament -> get access to high-stakes tables b/c you have enough credits.

If this is possible, then it's a big problem. People can just go on alts and make the bets even if they get to negative...
