I can explain why someone would think that.
Some people feel it's unfair to spend 5 hours on foot getting points to just barely stay in the league and then someone below in the league kicks you down to a lower league by getting double the points in one hour carturfing.
But this is inherently not a fair competition, it's just a casual game. Areas with few players get almost four times the points per zone than a buzy area. I know that when I make it into a higher league it's just because I'm lucky with the draw and only have players from Sweden in the same league.
