@Popper:
Members need to understand that it is their downloads which will generate uploads for others and that high ratio is not a purpose on its own. Even assuming the highest minimum ratio requirement of 0.800 it means downloads will generate upload at other members allowing to download 1.25 times of that.
So what we need are members with high share ratio and high absolute values (ratio above lets say 2.000 and upload above 50 GB) are starting actually to download.
It is not helpful to the community to try to have skyscraper high ratio, ratios between 0.8 and 1.25 are much healthier.
In short: We need more downloads!
Alright I am one of those users with a skyscraper high ratio currently at 89.001 but I didn't get it by not downloading. I got it by choosing what to download.
I picked out everything I wanted to download about a year back and downloaded, then after that just to keep my ratio high I downloaded a bunch of Freeleech torrents everyday just to keep my ratio high enough to download more if I wanted. By the time I finally found a few torrents that I wanted to download I found I had enough seed bonus points to Freeleech them for everyone to enjoy. Today alone I downloaded over 30GBs so don't try to blame me for the low ratios of others.
If you want some advice just download all the Freeleech torrents that you think you'll like every day and delete the ones you don't want at the end of the day. Since these almost always have leechers you should quickly see an improvement in your ratio. For you guys out there using Utorrent take a minute and click on the "Options" tab to find the "Setup Guide" and click "run test" (especially if you are seeing your upload speed tap out at around 40kbs). Utorrent has a pretty low preset upload speed so running the test will show the program how fast your internet connection can actually upload.
Lastly if you adopt this practice seed bonus points become very easy to collect (I've got over 10,000 at the moment). Just take some time do category votes on your downloads. The process takes about 5 seconds and gives you 2 seed bonus points per vote. Additionally if you still haven't got enough you could potentially cheat the system a bit while helping others out by freeleeching a few small files from the comics section then downloading them and casting a vote, many of those files will take less than a single seed bonus point to freeleech for a day and you'll still get 2 seed bonus points for voting on them. You can then trade in those SB points for a Ratio boost.
So people please stop complaining there are plenty of ways to get your Ratio up if you look for them. Lastly don't hate the player baby, hate the game.
