They still participated in the competition, even if they literally did nothing, and by chance their name was higher than another users to get a reward as literally the only reason as to why they won.

I see no problem with it.

-1, even if someone gets 9th or 10th place, it'll still take them nearly 2 years to get the VMR win points Prestige.

Frankly, I don't really see an issue here. I wouldn't go so far as to say that they deserve the points that they might receive just for joining the VMR server, but I would consider it to be a non-issue in the broader scheme of things. These lucky individuals won't be getting the prestige anytime soon as maybe an average of the bottom four slots of the top 10 are ever 'unclaimed' in a particular week, with the upper six being taken up by active VMR players. This would suggest that one might be able to receive an average of 1-2 points per week by using this method (which is negligible) and certainly won't net you prestige in any reasonable timeframe.

 

Until this becomes a genuinely big issue, I see no reason for adding such an overhaul to our todo list.
