I believe the end score should be considered in calculating the gain or loss of ranking points.

I just lost a game on 1 point, 122 Vs 121. That costed me -12 points. I have won games with 50 points difference which only have me+6 points. I believe the score needs to be taken into consideration between players.

ELO system is 1 for whole BGA. It would be hard to come up witch such system for every different game here. That means that this won't happen even if you are right about it. Even if BGA changes ELO system it will probably cause problems in different aspects of different games so I think it's not worth their time.

But my opinion on the subjects is - you are right.

I strongly disagree. Why would the score difference mater in any way ?
Almost all the games i know are always only focusing on win/loss, not on scores

Also disagree, even if it can be so frustrating at times... The objective is to win, not to generate the highest gap. Winning on a rush or on the right timing when your opponent can not react with a powerful last move... should be as rewarding for the winner and as a consequence as punishing for the loser...
