i don't agree with that. I think it has been more to do with how large a group you have been in and how much you are willing to trust ticket syndicates (and in cases randoms off the internet)
The big difference for large organised groups is once you got in and managed to buy your groups 6 tickets you will need to log in again and as its after 9am go to the back of the queue, unlike in the previous system where you just logged in and F5`d with as much chance as someone who hadn`t got in yet.
But as mentioned previously it seems a large and ever increasing number were getting them via the hack method which would do the exact same thing … this takes out that option
Agree.
There was a clear parallel between how much you wanted to go and the likelihood of getting a ticket.
In general the more you cared enough to try/ research tips and discuss (i.e. the more of a fanatic you are) the more chance you got of tickets.
Now anyone that isn't that fussed either way will get a ticket.
I think it could change the vibe of the main areas, particularly Pyramid/ Other (Green fields for example will hold its own as lots of regular workers there).
