It’s hard to avoid the gaming, anything done most will try to game it as long as there is some benefit to them. The larger the benefit the more effort they will put into it.
Almost every solution has a simple work around that can be implemented quicker than a hard fork.
In my opinion is more herding the cattle closer to the greater good. It will never be perfect and everyone will not play ball.
