I agree they should be automated. Say - once every 3 or 4 months. But OML has been working on TTL2 so even though automating would probably save time in the long run Alex probably just hasn't had time.

Anyway... time to change all my account names so they'll be what I want them to be in the Season 4 rankings =P

It'd be nice, and maybe one day...
but in reality they also server a secondary purpose: maintenance window. When the servers go down for the season rollover is when I typically do any backend maintenance for any issues that was on my to-do list. Also, rollovers aren't as well tested as I'd like them to be, as each season has had me go in and fix a few things before turning things back on. Hopefully subsequent seasons get smoother and smoother as I iron the kinks out and downtime is minimized. This past week I already was able to do some decent backend fixes without taking servers down, so hopefully the S4 downtime will be even smaller.

And it enables the rankings to be fairer, because all the inactive players are kicked
