Just a suggestion out there... Why don't we limit the leaderboards to only players that have reached the current level cap, or maybe one under. i.e. Only Lv. 35-36 players can be seen on leaderboards ATM. This will help prevent kill-farming at low levels, and will make those cheating twinks that did, have to level up to endgame which is a pain. Comments/suggestions/concerns?
There is always some kind of exploit. For example, you can kill farm at level 2, then when you get enough kills you can level up to end game.
However, there are the PvE Kills and Top Players leaderboards which are obviously only for end game players. No way to kill farm your way onto those leaderboards. Only thing that annoys me about the Top Players leaderboard is that most of the players cheated to get the wealth achievements by borrowing from friends.
Low lvl kill farm and then lvl up- thats people doing it anyway
LB for end game only - agreed
Actually, I know many LB players who use auto-keys and bots to simply AFK in Camp Boulder and let their pets do the killing. They would respec to all STR and keep their pet on auto-feed... Then they will disappear for hours...Quote:

Finally there
It was super easy to kill at the twink levels. It has become more difficult but it is still easy
Can't get that many PvE kills at twink levels before you actually level up. Players who played for a long time actually got more kills at lower levels than a new player could possibly get because we had the big jump at each cap: 16, 21, 26, 31 and now 36. New players only have that at 36.
I remember STS admins saying/commenting "Cant please everybody" remarks.
Seems that you bumped me off the list for the first time in a year. :/Quote:

Midas, Goldfinger and filthy rich are dirty achievements. But I think we all can agree on that.Quote:

i know theres a lot of kill farming/ganging/ spawning (die hard to get kills) going specially at twink levels but if they restrict it to only lvl 35-36 leaderboards then it defeats the real meaning of leaderboards..
its for everyone who play AL
just think about olympics.. if they resitricted the age to only 18-20 years old .. whats the point of calling it "olympics"
sadly but this is how its gonna be..
maybe in the future theyll have an "all time leaderboarders" and "seasonal" or some of kind of division
But seasonal leaderboards could be ruined too. On the other side it's a great idea beause more people would be able to compete for the LB, and the self-farmers will have more people to have to catch up with.Quote:

Wouldn't "flagging" also be considered flag farming?Quote:

Well, i dont read LB.
I simply dont care. Lol...
Well, the type of play and time i give to this game is not compatible with lb competition.
But i do compliment friends when they reach LB, thats the only time i check lb then.
LB affect only a very very small portions of the players.
Yeah very small portions...
I didn't borrow gold to get the APs, if I did I would still be on the list. I only need 4 achievements: 5k flags, 10k flags, 50m gold, 100m gold. I currently have 23m gold and have been saving since August, and I have about 3100 flags. So I don't know for sure that I will get any more achievements before the season ends. Oh well.... I'm absolutely not going to cheat. If I cheat then the banner they give me will feel worthless and I would be ashamed to even wear it.Quote:

Don't wanna see u shamed by anything like that. Tbh I saw ur name at 25 when I was looking at the lb and waiting for it to refresh and I was sad it was u I was knocking off.Quote:

It just like when you have holes in your jeans pockets, your mama(sts) mends the left pocket and leaves the right pocket thorn.
Your coins are still gonna fall to the ground.
Dunno if you get it... :-P
