Here. It's closer now. Let's consider someone who completed it in 10 days. They got 40 points, is that good or bad? If a player is new to tournaments and has a low rating, say 100, they'll get approximately 100 - 10 + 40 = 130. So, they still improved. Right?
But if they're a super player with a rating of 900, then 900 - 90 + 40 = 850. Those points don't matter to them. The decrease is insignificant; they might say they just played casually for a day to get it.
And with a reduction of 1/3:
First case: 2 * 100 / 3 + 40 = 67 + 40 = 107. They're still in the plus :(
Second case: 2 * 900 / 3 + 40 = 600 + 40 = 640. Now that's worth it :) They played well for free :)
Все люди - братья, но в каждом из нас спит волк.
