I think the changes are great! I was hoping for 5%, but half-expecting 3% - with the full 75% increase each time. I can definitely live with 2% and a slower ramping system.
I do agree with the sentiment that the uneven distribution of R8 materials is even more of a glaring issue, particularly with a perceived shift from ‘quality’ to ‘quantity’ of teams required to complete, and that something like 3-7 (1st-10th place earning 7, then each 10 places below earning one less) would be both more fair and encourage greater participation
