Member only hiscores

I don't think I really like this. They say they are making it more competitive by making it members only but obviously they just trying to create another incentive to buy members to make more money.

If they really want to make it competitive they should do what this guy says:


Also I think since they are doing this they should add something like a f2p hiscores. Because without the hiscores, what really would be the incentive to play f2p?

=========================

As for the 200m xp issue:

If a rank one 200m loses membership temporarily they will be added back at the bottom of the 200m list and no longer be first. This should deal with the problem of botters in the hiscores so you should all gain a considerable amount of ranks. The ranks will be much more legitimate.

Ok, it looks like if you are a member with a 200M skill and you lose membership you will be ranked back into your previous position.

EDIT: The point I'm trying to make since they are trying to make it competitive what's the point of playing f2p without ranks. I'm not taking any of the "social" or "enjoyment" issues into account. Those are of course different. Try and understand my argument before you try and bash it.
