I agree with this 95%. I think the superturbo regs would rather just grind for volume and not have to worry about the multiplier.
But the streaker bonus pool ($2000) should be set aside for a different type of leaderboard that caters more to lower volume players. Most of us don't have the time or inclination to put in 10,000 sng's a month. It would be nice to have something to aim for. And it would keep the fish more interested if they had a real chance to bink some extra coinage.
Pre-BF, I played on Tilt, Cereus, and Stars. Merge's LB is pretty much a clone of the worst of these systems (FT), with an unwanted multiplier thrown in to confuse the whole process. I would be extremely happy to put in more volume if there was a chance to make more money from the Merge LB, but as the system stands that's not going to happen.
I know that RPM has only recently opted-in to be included in the site-wide leaderboard promotion, which is great and all, but it doesn't matter much if the system is flawed in the first place.
