A player called Griffith created his own ranking system to get people to worlds, and he made a system based on win rate, and Konami accepted and liked it.
What Konami didn't know is that back then you could change your Konami ID if you report it stolen or something.
So this Griffith fella created many IDs until he had the highest win rate; also, other players also did the same.

Konami was completely fooled, and since then they've stopped listening to any player's advice.
