bitching about free money is stupid

Agreed. However, if you have no chance of clearing the bonus, it really isn't free money. In fact, it isn't anything.

bitching about sites not wanting whores at their site is stupid

Agreed.

voting that you're pissed off at empire and saying you won't play at empire again even though everyone here knows that you will anyways is stupid

[/ QUOTE ]
Half true. I didn't vote pissed off because, well, I'm not. But since they closed my account, I certainly won't play there anymore even though I could with my spouses account. But, as a $2/4 player, I'd never clear this with a 55% raked hand rate so it isn't worth the effort. I'd rather support Party who didn't close my account.

bitching about 15x at party skins when 10x absolute is way worse is stupid

[/ QUOTE ]
$2/4 raked rate at AP is >90% compared to Empire's 55%. AP is hardly "way worse" when it comes to bonus clearing. You may prefer the play at Empire, but saying AP's 10x requirement is much worse is a silly statement.

As are people that make rash generalizations based on nothing other than their personal opinions.

haha i was just getting mad at everyone complaining about this bonus - it's like getting mad at walmart for not putting something on sale. it's retarded.

i was closed-minded in that i was thinking about 1/2 (which surely has different clearing rates than 2/4)

my assumption about 15x at empire vs. 10x at absolute took into consideration the difference of play - not that 10x with tighter play is much worse than 15x with looser play, but that "boycotting" empire for the 15x doesn't make much sense.

as an aside - why is 2/4 a lower clearance rate than 1/2? rake starts higher?
