I can't believe how I never thought of this before

It's basically a primary activity for many people  

Get in line Travis; the bug catchers have been waiting longer for this.

I like it. Might get us to spread out the activities a bit  

TL;DR; Loot spots would have to be made visible to all players to make it more competitive to merit the addition of a leaderboard.


The only problem with a looting board compared to a bug board is that Looting Spots are specific to each player, meaning so long as they dived on every spot, they would get loot. Because of this, every player would have an equal chance (unless you fail to react in the window to press dive again, but that's besides the point) of obtaining loot as no other player could effectively "loot" it from you.

Bug Catching works different and would be able to cope with the competitiveness that the addition of a leader-board would bring as all players can see all bugs. Therefore you could have 5 people chasing one bug to get them those precious points to get into rankings on the board.  

great idea XD us social gamers need more respect XD add an hours leaderboard and gralat leaderboard too pls adims  

I do agree that looting is universal for all players but why not a leaderboard? It's a fairly honest grinder that cant really be um.... Affected in any way other then to actually slam away at looting. The only skill required will be endurance and the game already tracks your total loot anyway

Might be easier to implement for having that already

Thought I'd make a valid, well reasoned argument as to why this could/couldn't be a thing. Would appreciate the 20 seconds of your time to read what I had to say as it pretty much sums up what needs to be done and why it isn't a thing already.

So because it's only based on "time and effort given" and there is a potential for equality or a tie, we can't have it?

I got trapped in a PK kill pit once.... Wouldn't recommend it  

Is it more viable now that it's counting our loot?  

What do you mean? It has always counted loot ---> showloot

What they would have to do is track how much you have gathered in total during the season
