Perhaps I'm biased, but I liked the point system we had before the update. I only finish 2 or 3 games a week and was still able to stay at the top of my league (and I'm playing primarily STs now so it's accurate that I should be around there). I've also looked at the other top players in my league and for the most part they are reasonably high on the top 200 too so it seems the point system was working fairly well. Now, I do agree with OML's statement that there was an issue with all the 0 point players at the bottom. However, I don't think reverting to the previous "activity points" (or fun points as someone once called them) is the best solution. Maybe I'm just jumping the gun though and am not understanding how the point system will ultimately work, but jaaxinjr's example is rather disconcerting.

Maybe the best way is too try bonus pool? Yea, it's not being original, but it works.

It's probably better and less confusing for 'fun' points to be the main concern for players, especially for those who are somewhat basic and not on the forums. The focus on boosting hidden rankings was quite unintentional and stated previously as not the main focus of the game. Rather, competitive nature within leagues themselves. While people on the top 200 mightn't be too elated about the game becoming fun point orientated, it'd definitely boost the fun and competitive spirit within the lower leagues and skill levels.
