<p>[QUOTE=&quot;[ATA]Grant, post: 3799, member: 380875400&quot;]Recently we&#039;ve noticed an increase in players working to organize ties on event leaderboards so they all receive first place rewards.</p><p><br /></p><p>This behavior goes against our original leaderboard design and balance, which poses the following problems.</p><ul> <li>As rewards can reach more players than intended, we need to be less generous with leaderboard rewards.</li> <li>Players may &quot;encourage&quot; others in the event to stop at a certain point to tie, resulting in event engagement stopping.</li> <li>Players who decide to go after first place rewards may find themselves threatened or discouraged from doing so</li> </ul><p>To account for the above, we will soon change how event leaderboards work by preventing ties. <b>Ties will be broken by giving the highest rank to the player who achieved the score first</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><u>Example:</u></i></p><p><i>Player A gets 1000 pts, then shortly after Player B gets 1000 pts.&nbsp; </i></p><p><i>Player A will be 1st, and Player B will be 2nd.</i></p><p><i>If Player B then gets another 10 pts, then Player B will be 1st, and Player A will be 2nd.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>While there is not a fixed date for this change, we are aiming to release it in the next few weeks.&nbsp; We will be providing another update when we have a definitive timeline for this change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
