Although I don't know if they're required to sit at the smaller stakes tables, it's great marketing. It gets players who usually sit at lower stakes tables to play a little bit higher - which generates more rake for the site.
Take RD for example... Are you regularly playing $1/2NL, or did you jump in when you saw the chance to play w/ a Pro?

I completely agree. Plus, it gives FT a direct advantage over many of its competitors. It's the only site I know of that lets players know when and where pros are playing (by virtue of its red table option). Cunningham playing at a 1/2 table doesn't say, "Hey, I'm broke." It says, "Hey, poker's a game anyone can play, and I'd like to see if you can match wits with me for a while."
As much as I like Stars, the only time I ever really see those big-name players around is either (A) during high-stakes games I can't afford, or (B) in highly publicized MTTs.

I played some 1/2 NL but really only when I find a donk on my buddy list at that level. So, you're absolutely right, I only jumped there for the chance to play against AC... good marketing FT.
