With the new ranking system we seem to have kind of the same problem as we had with the old one, only, by my opinion, it's damaging other players more:

what i'm talking about?

well, highly ranked players not playing anymore...
as you see, riser has been up on 1st place in rating points and isn't playing anymore, in the old system this wouldn't have been much of a problem, just play well and you'll gain up to others, but with one player hogging first now, you may be playing well, but will not progress! So i guess people should still be losing points or rank if they are not playing... just because off the fact that the first 5 placings in rating are just so important!
