As reported in This thread The automatic lockout hasn’t been working since the february2025 update.
While the (long) wait for this to be fixed, I'm starting to notice that many of the accounts that ranked at the top (I checked up to the top 20, but I assume even lower ranks aren't much different) in recent Hall of Fame seasons are in leagues with less than half the number of active players (in some, only a couple).
I believe this situation is incentivizing some leagues (perhaps unintentionally, I hope) to benefit from the problem by avoiding manually kicking inactive players.
I don't think it's appropriate to reward, but above all, give visibility and glory to accounts and leagues with so few active players and a low level of competitiveness.
Therefore, I ask the developers to consider manually addressing this reputation farming (whether intentional or not) and correcting the recent rankings.
Thank you for your work.
P.S. Before any other player tells me I'm just jealous or makes other similar, unhelpful comments, I want to point out that I've never personally cared about competing for that ranking, which I think has the only real utility of being a tool for finding very active daily leagues, which is now impossible.
