Its been heavily skewed towards giving high-frequency players a higher ranking. I used to be on a lot, but now with my job I can't get on too often, I've dropped 600 points in the past month due to inactivity. (It would be more but I went on and won two games for a gain of ~200 points each) With iso, I would lose at most 1 or 2 levels, it seems Goko's system is a lot more sensitive to basically anything that would signal a rating change.

I agree that the system seems to punish people who don't play a lot, but I'm not really concerned by that.

The rating works best when you don't take it too seriously and it shouldn't be surprising that the best way to get a good rating is to play and win often.

Things that "work best when you don't take them seriously" are usually things that don't work very well.
