Neither early game whales nor tanking are a problem unless and until the points being generated becomes unbalanced due to the severe discrepancy in competitive levels.

We are told to trust the process and allow those whales to advance through the promotion process while they destroy the competition and rack up inane amounts of points. I have always found it curious that we are not similarly compelled to trust the relegation process, since it is another aspect of the exact same game mechanic.
