    Hey guys, I'd like to propose a petition to remove the leader board. Why? the leader board only cause people to want to cheat to get to a certain position on it. Kyle, if you read this please consider removing it there has already been cheating and guess which spot? #1 spot i find it very useless to have them if people are just going to cheat and completely ruins having them to begin with and they also only encourage people to want to hack the game as well. I know some people asked for it Kyle but i don't think they knew what could have happened when it was implemented and look what happened? Anyways if you feel the same way i do which is having the leader board abolished completely please comment saying so if you feel they shouldn't be removed please state why. No arguments please. Thank you for taking the time to read this and comment if you did. -Black Widow

    Agreed. If the people who honestly work for it can't have the position on it that they deserve, there's no reason for it.

    Good day,

    @Black Widow , Define cheating please. Stacking tanks and using ghost mouse to play the whole day without really being there? That kind of cheating?
    I am sure that all of the players on the leader board did not use this method into being top ranked, but I support not having it if the majority of people are cheating to get there.

    But, (yes there is a but) without the leader board, how can we compete for bragging rights?

    Hi EskimoEd, Please read all of this to be filled in.

    Edit: Also to answer the bragging question. It's not about xp if people will just cheat or spend mass amounts of hours playing the game more than others, it's about being skilled within the game xp does not always have relation to the skill of the user.

    @Black Widow, Thank you for the link. I went through it.

    What 1337 said is also true. It is a double-edged sword. If they cheat their way to the top of the board, let them do it.
    If not being on the board does not bother you, then why complain. Ultimately it will be a competition as to who can cheat more and gain more than 64k exp per day. Good luck to those poor souls for thinking that cheating in something like this could win them something in life. Vague I know, but true non the less.

    I am not anywhere close to the leader board and it is not my mission to be on it, but if the day comes that I see myself in the top 50, I'll know that I did it legitimately and will feel some form of gratification. Would you not like that?

    So what does the leaderboard represent? Hard work? or a joke?

    (EDIT) Black widow said no arguments I will post no more

    Hi, I'm on first page on leader board but i wont say who i am you can ask around for that answer, but even being on the leader board i don't brag if people compliment i say thank you that's all but still cheating is cheating nevertheless but the real reason I'd like it removed is because people will try and hack the game to try and get there perhaps to avoid the chances of this happening removing the leader board would be very helpful and a start.
