I'm currently on the 3-spot meeple in Finito. To progress to the 4-spot meeple, I would need a ranking of 1650 or above... which the last few times I've checked, would require me to be in the top 10 of all players.
I understand that top rankings are very different in different games, but I think the meeple requirements should take account of this better.
It's not just about the satisfaction of gaining new meeples: in other games, the number of meeple spots can give an opponent a rough idea of your experience and skill level, but it's quite misleading in Finito.
