Basically all the points made here have been spot on accurate. 25 has been somewhat of a disaster. They are putting the finishing touches on chasing off all the small players just hoping the whales keep things afloat. The combinator cards have been an unmitigated disaster making even the lowest end tourneys just for whales. And even jumping the shark much earlier than ever before when they go crazy with ratings for cards typically months from now. Perhaps by the end of the cycle we will have card ratings at 200.
I feel bad for all the people that just started playing the last couple years. There was a time they really did a great job for all levels of play in PT. That ship has long since sailed as it's just been horrendous decisions one after another.
