Second round of Parachain reward balancing
Had a question on the 2nd round of Parachains on Kusama network. Is there a plan with implementing new Parachains to balance the rewards, selection for Para Validator? I've seen one validator getting selected to be Para Validator for 3 or 4 times during 1 era (6 hr) earnings +3000 points and some validators are not getting selected for Para Validator at all during that era with earnings between 0 and 100 points. One validator would make 2 KSM during one era and 2nd would make .05 KSM during the same era. That rewards distribution is crazy, if we as validators have to explain that to our nominators you are making it too complicated. Saying "it should even out in the long run" doesn't make sense since there are more than 900 Validators. -Some Validators could get low points one day and not get into the active set the next day. -Some Nominators could be with one Validator with low points one day and get moved to another Validator with low points the next day. -Some nominators could not understand the Era Point distribution and move to different Validators thinking that the Validators is misconfigured or doesn't have enough resources.

I believe this was discussed in the Kusama Direction channel: you can find the beginning of the conversation HERE. I'd like to highlight some comments during the discussion:
Thanks Raul, just found it (29 Jun).
So the short answer is that there is no plans to rebalance in a short-term.
I don't understand the implementation so maybe it's not doable but would it be possible to reduce the point from Para-Validating from 20 to 15 or 10 points.
This could reduce the extremes but still incentivise people to setup for Para Validator.
