What if you DIDN'T lose points in Feast?

On the one hand, this would make the PVP seasons a lot more grindy since someone who gets on and plays matches every day would eventually be able to overtake you no matter how bad they were, so you'd feel that extra pressure to log on and grind matches just to keep up, and that doesn't sound fun at all. I feel like this would just make the top 100 people the ones with the most time, rather than necessarily the best.

On the other, I think its perfectly arguable that the current system which rewards getting promoted and then absolutely not playing to avoid damaging your score is pretty counter-intuitive, and people might be justified in saying that if you only PVP for the first two weeks out of the season you don't really deserve a top spot versus someone who's willing to work at it season-round.

I'm honestly pretty conflicted, but I agree something needs to be changed.

This is why some other games (like League of Legends) have "Rank decay" - if you don't play for a while, you lose rank, and I believe it can decay all the way down to Bronze 5 (lowest rank) from Diamond 1 (one of the highest ranks). This could be a counter for it. Including a trough you have to get out of if you join in late (so you have to work extra hard in the shorter amount of time vs someone who's been at it all season). That could potentially work too?

Imagine a PVE system where you lost experience because someone in your party died in a dungeon. Would that not make you rage?! Of course it would!

Been in those games in the past, no I didn't rage over it.

WHAT game does that in this day and age? I need to know so I can stay away from it.

They were older games. But heck, if they were to reintroduce it in an MMORPG, I'd be happy with it. I'd be willing to play the game.
