Next to the Armory there should be a menu item titled Coming Soon or something, filled with lots of little boxes with question marks in them, and if you pay some money, the question mark disappears and you learn what Uber is working on next. I'd throw some money in there for sure.

Leaderboards (this won't be in effect visually until this goes live, but adding it to PTE notes so you see it's coming)
- If player is inactive for 7 or more days, you will no longer show up on Leaderboards

I'm hoping this is a stop gap measure rather than a long-term solution. It's both simultaneously too short and too long a period.

To someone at the top of Uber it's no effort at all to play one game a week to maintain position. To a casual player it's incredibly harsh to lose your rank just because you didn't play. It also means rankings become unstable and less meaningful because you're constantly bobbing about as other players get caught in the filter. Will people get promoted and demoted off the back of this to maintain distribution? That would really ruin the significance of the leagues. Furthermore it makes the leagues look smaller and the multiplayer community less healthy, decreasing new player interest.

At the end of the day it doesn't resolve the issue. Indeed, by providing a timeframe you tell a player exactly how little effort they need to put in to hold #1 once they get there. Players really need a reason to play as often as possible, this leads to a healthier community and helps drive the long-term lifespan of the game.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, just want to give my frank feedback in case someone thinks this is a good long-term solution to the issue.

I absolutely agree with this. There have been so may forum posts and petitions for improving the Leaderboards and the whole player-entity presence in-game that I assume Uber is perfectly aware that a better system than the current one is needed if the game is to stick around as a well-established competitive RTS.

If so...

What are you going to do, ban them when they reveal it on the forums?

Yes. Also their friends, just because.
