Again players with no life would participate 3 or 4 x as much, effectively giving us a fait accompli before the season starts.

No-lifers can easily benefit from a set time. If I never went out, I’d be able to Dom competitively past double-digit medals.

Also 3 weeks of no action is long enough to lose a player for good, unless you’ve got other goals to keep them focussed.

Excluding a certain portion of gamers altogether is worse, which you’d agree with if the current end-time setting didn’t benefit you.

Thinking about it, MC Banhammer’s suggestion could work. It’s certainly better than the current setting. There could be two different “evening” end-times to cater to Euros and North Americans, opposed to 6-8 hour rotations (I’m presuming there aren’t many Asian or Aussie gamers here). Any regular time change rotation + daily card cap will do.
