For the record though, I personally don't agree that being the highest ranked xp player does warrant being given the moniker 'best player' so I AM all in favour of a name change.
And while I'm not against a new medal being introduced that could possible better represent a 'overall best player' title, I really don't think it is even possible. Medal counting doesn't work, since there is no way to break a tie that could involve identical medal count using different medals, without giving certain medals preference over others. (which I would be dead-set against)
A community poll would be a sham, merely devolving into a popularity contest.
Perhaps some kind of behind the scenes checklist the game keeps track of? Something that monitors our precise activity throughout the game, granting medal tick to whichever player scores higher on this? I don't know, even this would fall short as some players spend a lot of time on FS helping other. Their contributions wouldn't necessarily get them any recognition on such a system.
Personally I think we just need to rename the current medal...
That way people who get offended by the game classifying highest xp players as 'best' are assuaged, HCS don't have to assign resources to a new game-wide tracking system and players who have worked towards these medals already aren't completely done-over.
