I get what you're saying. But it would take them alot longer to get up to 1000 points, and the season is only 3 months long, and pretty sure they will reset ranked each season from the looks of it. Also I'm not great at the game and the fact that I lose RP every couple of matches is just making me not want to play ranked mode at all. It's just a back and forth grind that feels pointless.
Granted I'm sure there are some legends out there that are killing it and rarely ever losing RP but that's not the case for all of us.
Also no exaggeration probably 25% of my games I only have a 2 man squad and I still lose RP or we get wiped early because one person couldn't find a gun and Bam, lose RP, just seems like a broken system to me, but I'm also not super beast at the game.
