Yeah, I agree  Grin That's the reason why MasterPool is switching to PPLNS. Have a look at https://masterpool.eu/statistics

This charts are averaged over 24 hours. After finding a block we have spikes of about 300 GHash/s. This is not a problem for the pool, but members opted for PPLNS in order to avoid pool hopping. It is implemented and will be activated within the next weeks.

IMHO this started with BTC prices falling to $3. I can understand that most miners need to increase their income. But for the loyal pool members this is a problem  Embarrassed
