    What about people who start playing in January, say? They work their butts off and spend a fortune and get all their ap, just to fall forever 10 ap short of the board because they started the game 2 months too late?

    Or a leaderboard player who has all their ap's but is out of town for a week and can't play, gets knocked off forever by the 25 peers who happened to be able to play during the event? These boards are that competitive, and to come up 5ap short would almost be worse than 500 - forever chasing the carrot dangling on the string that you can't ever reach.
    Couldn't agree more. This idea is asking for an angry mob at your door.

    The only way this plan is ever going to work is if you implement Energizeric's idea of adding multiple achievements (i.e. too many) that force players to pick and choose which ones they want to pursue. This idea makes sense because it gives players the option to pursue certain achievement paths/groups in order to reach the LB, and if they miss out on these holiday events then no big deal. However, as it stands, reaching the Top Player/Class LBs is very straight forward with no wiggle room, and is also bottle necked at the 5k/10k CTF flag APs and number of PvE kills. Adding these limited time APs, even if they're worth 1 point, is going to ruin other people's chances at the LB for a long time, if not forever. I'm not a player who ever stands a chance at these LBs, but I could only imagine how upset someone would be if they couldn't play during a holiday event (because they're spending time with their family and friends) and they end up being knocked off by 5 measly points. With this concept, you're basically forcing players to never stop playing - even during holidays - if they want to reach the LBs.
