What ends up happening is that players form cartels where they only ally each other in events and balloon each other's points like crazy. It even creates situations where a nearly-absent player who has several heavy hitters as event allies can place high in the rankings for doing essentially no work.

Think about it: ten T1 players allying each other and sharing points, will 'lap the field' over a group of ten T2 players even worse than they do now.

The concept sounds good but it doesn't work in practice. I did this in a GI Joe campaign episode over the summer and it catapulted my light playing into the top 1000, as three of the five allies I chose to "team up" on points with were guys in the top 250.

@transform - I hope that they look at the list of players I provided, and take that seriously. We do have the highest concentration of T1 players here. I know on the other forums you and I are on, most of their T1 finishers are guys who post and chat here more often than there.
