Default lower buy-in sngs at pokerstars being overrun with donkeys?

Anybody else see the huge amount of donkeys playing the 11s an 20s at pokerstars lately. Has it always been this bad an i am jus now starting to be affected by it or has there been an influx of bad players. My bankroll is wanting to go elsewhere than pokerstars lately because of it. anybody agree that there are lots more bad players out there and if so is that a good thing or a bad thing?

its not bad in the sense that you have better chance in longhaul maybe. but it seems like its becoming more of a crapshoot when you have people calling allins with nothing but high cards to outdraw you on later streets. you mine as well go an play roulette or blackjack

just a bit of variance... Playing poker, after all, is a game of chance... all you can do when you lose like this, is be happy with the fact that you got your money in when you had the best of it, and move on. When luck swings your way, just pray that these people are still around and still calling off their stack when they have the worst of it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That makes no sense, and is an argument that people make that do not know what they are talking about. Would you rather play against people that are willing to call all of their stack off with an inside straight draw, or against 9 other people that play tight early and aggressive on the bubble? If your answer was option 2, just start playing the Step 5s on party cuz you will probably do real good.
