It is a good point, something should be made to ensure participation. Moreover, I think that the brutal rating-drop that occurs when you are up on leader board level is a heavy deterrence from playing in the end. It was a long time ago when I realized that, even when I had the deck and the skill, I would not be able to stay on the leader board because of one poor game or whatever would knock off like 40 points. That made me stop trying. If we instead have a form of decay in points per hour or per day, instead of the major difference points lost vs points won getting over-sized it would encourage players to play more, and probably also more over the season. You could even say accumulate more decay if you don't play at all one full day or whatever. Of course I understand this is totally off-topic for this SPS Vote but I liked the discussion here!
