The problem all all along has been that MR = most points scored, period. Although each individual is effected by the rates of everyone else in the room, basing everything on MR alone is not fair to anybody except in the most competitive circumstances. There are maybe a few hundred genuinely excellent players who regularly compete against each other almost exclusively, and their places in the standings of events reflect that. Sometimes though I will "catch" some of them hosting a low rank room, and I'm guessing it is because it gives them a chance to have some fun without having to worry too much that their rank is going to be effected since it is almost a certainty that they are going to score the most points. That does still take advantage of low ranks though, with the only positive aspect being that one well equipped player can lead a whole room of nuggets to an S rank.

There have been many times I was kicked from a room hosted by an equal or higher MR, presumably because I was a potential "threat" to their own rate. Other times, I get kicked from rooms hosted by ranks lower than mine, because the host assumes I am there to take advantage of everyone else. This is simply not true. When I try to join a lower-ranked room, I do it because I plan to utilize a low Cst aircraft set in order to complete specific challenges. Just because I am ranked higher does not necessarily mean that I am going to crush 7 other players with my Lv.1 A-10 or whatever, regardless of their ranks.
