These types of threads come up every so often. And always have the same answers.
The reason for this is that there is only a finite amount of players that have over 300k skills. And this is likely to be the case for EVER with the skills regime we currently have.
Even the rich guys like Neomaven, chipping in, would find it a LOT more expensive now to get to 300K
So, the guys and gals with 300k skills ingame now is basically set, unless any of them chip out.
As the game gets more popular, they will be more and more in the minority. Maybe 0.5% of active participants now, in a year 0.05% of active participants. The shame of the matter is that MA seems to favour the absolute minority here in their skill nerfs. They protect the guys that will never need to deposit again. In 3 years we will still have the same scenario, maybe a few more made it to 300k, but they will be less than 0.005% of the active player base at this time.
Great for them, don't get me wrong
But I fail to see how making lists of the guys that started early, or chipped in when it was cheaper, has any import. It is almost a static list. And a list of guys that take money out of the system, not put it in (apart from some that help MA with the marketing, but I am sure they get recompense for this).
So, how is this static list "good" for the game, apart from hanging around in TP's and being someone the new guys aspire to, even though they will never never get there?
Hooray for the List
I bet it will the same in 3 years time
