Players ranking scores have increased about 10x since Tournaments began.
Ranking points awarded for Top 100 in tournament have not changed.
A player winning 500 points in the new tournament may need to defeat 5x as many enemy units as a top finisher, who gets 1000 pts.
The new Tournament already has a formula to determine difficulty for each player.
This difficulty factor could be applied to Ranking points awarded.
Programming it would require multiplying two numbers that already exist, once per week, for 100 players per server.
For many players any advancement at all - (research, AW, Expansions)- grows more harmful with every achievement.
If tournament scores are no longer a measure effort and achievement, this compensating factor may provide a reason for some players to continue the game, and provide something for newer players to aspire to.
The upside would be Large and Broad, giving players ongoing objectives to play for, and Update of points awarded is already long overdue.
The only downside that comes to mind is that it might reveal how unfair the new tournament "difficulty calculations" are.
Apology if this is already suggested- ive not seen it.
