Highest rank of day would also remove all this payout timing changes issues also. Not to mention the stress of playing for a specific hour (Which is horrible to fit into real life).
It's just a better system & if the concern is that too many free shards go around then reduce the max payout a little to compensate. You still have to get to number 1, you still need to beat a number 1 squad so I don't see the problem.
There are many issues with this. Firstly, there are only 24 of any position PO a day, there are an "unlimited" number of top positions in the day, so it's a little different than just decrease the PO a little and it will all balance out.
I see this making any issues with shard chats worse. Now instead of a 24 position based rotation, you have a rotation trying to get upwards of 30-50+ players into
first. Shards will be more active, which would make shard chats more active.
Taking a position at some point in time also takes away from the competition. You dont race to be first at some point, you race to be first at the end of the race.
If you know there is someone you cant beat, you simply wait for someone else to beat them then take the spot from them. This would make that easier than it is now to take first, even if you cant win all the time.

All in all, I'm not saying we couldn't have a better system, I just dont think a top rank for the day system is better.
