Inactivity Tax

Just something I thought of just now, not sure if it's a good idea or not.

After two months of being inactive, your gamescore decreases by 1% for every day you're not online. That gives the person long enough for any "technical difficulties" they may have, and will stop inactive players being amongst the top for too long. It'd work something like this.

Gamescore: 100,000
Gamescore after two months of inactivity: 100,000
Gamescore after two months, one day of inactivity: 99,000
Gamescore after two months, two days of inactivity: 98,100
Gamescore after two months, three days of inactivity: 97,029
Gamescore after two months, four days of inactivity: 96,059
Gamescore after two months, five days of inactivity: 95,099

So the decrease would be incremental. All the persons statistics would remain, however, and upon log-in, they'd all be restored. It doesn't sound like it would be too hard to implement. I dunno. Just a suggestion.

Why? I see no purpose to this. Purchasing the new weapons as they come out give you the advantage over inactive players. Stop looking for shortcuts and train your way past the inactive. Shouldn't be that difficult...

I was talking about the game as a whole as this has been suggested in different forms many times through the years. Sorry I wasn't specific enough for you Lufdaddy

btw, personally I don't like the idea, some people have reasons to be inactive, should a person be penalized in a game because they are going to war to protect their country? Also, XXXXXXX was a higher rank than me, I don't want to be a better rank than them because their score was lowered, I want it to be that I caught up to them legitimately.
