Group A top 0.1% = 300

Group B top 5% = 100

Group C top 10% = 50

Now:

Group A top 0.1% = 300

Group B top 1% = 100

Group C top 5% = 50

So,

if you are in the top 0.1% (Group A) no difference

If you are in the top 0.1001 to 1% (Group B) category no difference

If you are in the top 1.001% to 5%, you lose 75

If you are in the top 5.001% to 10% category, you lose 25

Countering this as FM said, is higher participation, so wider bands.

For me Group B, is now almost certainly never going to happen and I have to fight hard to get Group C - previously I was usually in Group C with moderate effort, very occasionally B. So I will lose and the NOOBs, gain. No problem with the NOOBs gaining, but I think it should come from the best players who probably need less than others. I think some realignment is needed in the percentages. Just my opinion... The enhanced participation was real in week 1, making the numbers more like:

Group A, 300GC was 100 players now 300 players

Group B, 100GC was next 5000 players now next 3000 players

Group C, 50 GC was next 5000 players now next 12,000 players

The people getting the shaft here are the ~2000 Group B now getting demoted to Group C.  But a larger group than that has been elevated to Group C
