I was #2 before the leaderboard change with about 20k pts, now I've got 3400 and the players who had less than me have higher pts. How does this work?

I think the data capturing for this might have started a little after the season (maybe a week) but I'm not sure, fp4 will know.  

love it, but I have a couple of questions:
• why don't you get punished anymore for losing GS points?
• how are the GST brackets going to be determined with the new leaderboard?

Dang GS got changed too? That sucks I actually liked the GS leaderboard system. But yeah...how are brackets determined now? Will it be like 1-->32 etc. in seasonal leaderboard?  

Highly approve, this is much more like what I had originally suggested when I myself asked for a leaderboard change
Not sure how I feel about the GS leaderboard, considering it essentially just encourages you to spam recruit to your tag... which is the opposite of the point of seeding an actual team for the GST

The data capturing definitely started late in the season because I'm way down there and I haven't sparred a lot recently  

I don't think that the guild spar was changed.

In leaderboards I see different points for guilds during this season than when I search the guilds up...I'm confused.

Probably this and he forgot to change the profile points value to reflect the new data system.  

It changed, I'd actually like it more this way if there was a way to prevent people from just spam-recruiting on total bull**** tags

Is it using the same leaderboard style as the single sparring now or something?

Yeah

That scoring style can work for singles, but in GS it definitely just encourages people to spam random recruits
But then again, towering has been doing that for the past 6 years...

Yeah, which is a shame because GS leaderboard was the only one that was actually good...I don't think it suites the style for the new one...Could we possibly have the GS leaderboard reverted but all the other leaderboards remain the same?

what a joke LOL
it's the only leaderboard with boosting still prevelant  

Just need to change the way it uses points for that board if necessary.

If they ever implement the one guild system then it'll pretty much be perfecto.

Ya, if there was a system in place to regulate guild recruiting then honestly either leaderboard would work fine for GSing
I hope some part of the leaderboard reward will be permanent, as it's seasonal and a 3-month trophy item probably won't be a big motivator for many people
