Doesn't this just make it worse now though? The people that were going to abuse this have already done so and already reached 60. By 'fixing' this now SE is making it harder for people to catch up and actually rewarding those at 60 by giving them control over the market for a little longer.

These are the kinds of adjustments that should have been made before EA. Fixing things like this now only makes it worse for those that didn't take advantage when they could.
