Here is another example for all those posting "ties shouldn't exist"
As mentioned its not a good comparison to compare AL to things like sports because those are directly player vs player events
Also they would be competing in the same time zones... When have you ever heard of the Olympics being held in multiple countries or people from different countries not actually running along side each other on the same track?
If you want to compare the AL leaderboards to anything its best comparison would be say another game as similar as possible. The largest and best comparison that comes to mind would be "World of Warcraft".
World of Warcraft doesn't even have a leaderboard for PVE related activities in the game. The only leaderboard they seem to have is for Player vs Player Arenas.
So if anything having a leaderboard for PvE is an added bonus given to us in this game, and to save having to make sure everyone has to be playing same time, its enabled so person A from 1 side of the world can get to #1 just the same as person B whos on the other side of the world.
The reason these posts have come up before (rarely) and also why its being talked about again now is because as most are aware a "agreed upon" tie by several warriors was broken by 1 person.
You don't need to add decimal points to scores to try to make it random.
Just need to farm more points than the person next to you or if you happen to be running with a friend you've made who lives other side of the world then you can also do it together. Which if I'm not mistaken is half the point of this game... being social.
This is essentially a thread about being upset a tie was broken.
As I've already said, bite the bullet and let it be a lesson learned.
Next event make sure you secure your position on that leaderboard without holding back!
Simple.
So let's just be grateful the opportunity/option is there to be able to achieve a leaderboard on events with friends IF WE CHOOSE TO. If you choose to do it alone that's great too either way you'll be winning but don't try to get the freedom of choice we have taken away because we're feeling salty over being tricked.

edit :
Just to make it more clear WoW is the best comparison, besides the PVP leaderboards they have, do they also have a PvE leaderboard yes... which is for the overall top players... exactly like we have here in AL... and have a look at it yourselves and see if there's any ties or not...
