Dude we had the same problem months ago, of course we complained about it but we worked around the fact of not having many xforms. At some point you just used 3 waves of xforms while we used every singe one of then in the first xform push you did. We experienced the same thing, we asked for what i said earlier "The only system that would work is by doing less than 500 gp a week, you are out of the list", so people that don't even play get out of the rank in the span of a week, not taking months like what happened to Dagoma, that then came back for one day and got his rank back... xD.
And it isn't the same thing that if you half one guy's GP, for example if I am at 100k GP and you halve it, I'd have 50k, meanwhile the top 2 that has 90k, gets halved to 45k. The difference is now 5k between our ranks, instead of the 10k i worked hard for, that's what I meant earlier. And yeah I'd keep my governor rank, but I'm not tryharding for it anymore, im not doing 6 hyperions a week xD. Other people would be able to easily outrank me.
Idk, i keep thinking that halving one's GP is a bad idea, but just taking them out of the rank if they don't contribute enough per week. And, just to be clear, i want the sieges to be balanced, its not like I want to keep it like it is so that you don't have enough xforms... as you said this patch is the best for sieges, and that's why I'm playing here.
