Well basically some of the players don't like that before you play in a WPT event you have to sign this long contract pretty much saying the WPT can use your name and image without paying you.

Honestly, you really don't know the details. Besides the fact that the release form is very standard, there are also a great many complicated pieces to the puzzle. WPT is working with the players to resolve any issues. However, most players realize that the WPT greatly respects the players and wouldn't do anything to exploit or treat them unfairly.In addition, there are reasons behind the blind structure. To simplify it with a comment like "WPT wants to save money on production" is just unfair.
