Member only hiscores

After reading the faq, I feel like they put the important/big questions in there just to make people feel like they're being heard, then proceeded to answer them like a politician or not at all.

Sure, the integrity of the game & highscores is important, and I don't mind having a separate members table, but people are making it clear that they would rather have a separate f2p highscore table even if they can't purge it of bots.

The issue of dormant/previous members being removed is a big one too. I don't mind the idea that I will no longer have to compete with players who stopped playing and became irrelevant years ago, but I hate to think I'll fall out of existence, as they put it, as soon as I stop giving them money. This one is a particularly sore subject for me, as someone who in the past has been an on-and-off player and not had a continuous membership for longer than maybe 2 or 3 months at a time. I'm getting tired of being pressured into paying for this game when I'm not playing it.
