basically the ladder system rewards consistent play
conversely, if the top players laid off for really long, and sitll mantained their ladder positions, how would the new players break into the scene and end up in the top 200 if they never got to p[lay the top dudes, there has to be some way to equalize it all.
therefore, they reward consistency (ie. ladder grinding), there ain't a perfect system but i guess in their eyes its fair.
