Only for those making 1K on EQS. I didn't see the 2P or 1P ratio being unfair. Why should 1K have a different EQS/EQM ratio than everyone else? Perhaps the whole ratio is flawed from beginning to end, but to have a single outlier put in line with all of the other plateau requirements doesn't seem unfair, but rather by definition, it is now fair, when previous, it wasn't. Anomalies to a standard system are where inequities lie. Inequities are unfair, while equal treatment seems to be fair.

Remember Helen Slater in "The Legend of Billie Jean"? Perhaps this could be the new rallying cry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClVGVsXyY-c
