When was that?
If the system was poor then, so it is today because it's essentially the same except it wasn't rolling and players had a full season to "manage" their ranking which had its pro and cons.
i think the Rolling Rankings with a tier System was the Most exciting its Ever been last season you had Subplots
Ronnie started the season as WN 9 and Finished the season as WN 9 in between he almost ended up having to Qualify for the World Championship and the Rolling Rankings created Excitement in PTC Events because of that.
Beating Andrew Higginson from 4-0 down took on even more excitement because had he lost that Match he Would have had to win the Welsh Open to stay out of Sheffield EIS a week before the Main Event.
But Also winning 2 PTC not to mention Runner up in another was Crucial for Ronnie to be in The Masters.
you cant compare that with Static nothing to gain or lose Rankings of the Previous 35 years.
