Ursoth's Assault Leader Boards Suggestion
Put another leaderboard in game that shows the top points, regardless of level, and the type of character and level they are currently. This leaderboard would not be for prizes but would help those on top of the current leaderboards know if they might get bumped down if a lower level character has higher points and then levels up to 35+. How frustrating would it be if on the last day, after putting in countless hours of event map running, you're looking at yourself in top 10 and getting excited that you might get to own a shiny new Shady & Surge egg, and then in the last few hours, someone levels their twink up and bumps you out of contention for this prize. None of my characters are going for top 10 but if I spent all this time to get to top 10 and then suddenly get bumped down out of nowhere, I would probably rage quit. Some friends of mine have already given up because of this.

Remi, it was suggested in another thread by Hakoom and a few others that a separate LB be made for those who started and stayed as at below level 35 during the event in order to kill bosses and gain points faster. A lot of endgamers and 35+ players will be bumped off the top 10 if separation is not done. The low levels are laughing their heads off at endgamers trying to keep up with the level 35+ LB, when literally ALL OF THEM can be bumped of the board just like that
The twinks are not running blind, they can compare against the level 35+ board and easily overtake them. As for competition among themselves, it was them who created that, and it is because of their actions that they too are running blind. Why was there a leaderboard in the first place if it couldn't be a sufficient measure of where you stood?
STG team, you know it will be highly unfair to those on the level 35+ leaderboard now if results cannot be true to the board itself. If I slack in farming the event map and go down in rank as a result of that then that is my fault. But if I am running as much as I could and get wiped off the board because someone ran with the intention of just overtaking everyone on the board whilst his score is hidden, I think that'll give me enough reason to throw in the towel and give up hope on this game.
Yes, it may be STS' fault that bosses are not scaled properly to level. But this event has ran 10 days already. I cannot imagine the resources spent in order to achieve the points the endgamers now have on the board. It doesn't matter that those who used twinks have used more gold/plats than the endgamers. They have achieved scores unattainable for those who started AT THE LEVEL STATED ON THE LEADERBOARD. They are leading those on the board to think that they may not have a chance at the top prizes at all. They are making them run harder to catch up with twink scores they can only imagine.
Please don't tell us that it is too late to add a feature that will solve this mix up. We are 10 days into the event now. Create the separate leaderboard for those below level 35+ and as suggested, grant prizes for top 3 scores per class. Only 3. Because you cannot just discount the efforts of those who have started at level 35+. Yet you cannot also ignore the fact that the twinks spent a lot in order to compete for this event. However they did try to circumvent the board's mechanics, as well as thwart the efforts of those already on it. This way, you would still be sticking to the board's initial design, but also acknowledging the scores of those below level 35.
If someone could post a link of the thread with suggestions here, it would be highly appreciated. Sorry, tapatalk nub here :/
Edit: I think I got it.. Here's the link:
