    If kChamp doesn't know any method to avoid such cheating (aiming bots, auto-clicking, etc...) then I would approve this petition too.

    Since that thread is kinda important, can anyone from the staff make it sticky, please.
    Just to make sure that Kyle see it when he comes here.
    At-least until Kyle see it and then un-stick it.

    I guess I agree with this dyna. What is the point of a leaderboard if people cheat and use it just to "get known" and I like what you said about xp not showing skill ,dyna. Very valid argument indeed.

    I agree

    I agree too. The leaderboards destroys the community and makes people go full nuts.

    It is pretty ironic how, we beg for a Leaderboard, finally get one, and want to remove it. I know we all didn't ask for it, but still, pretty ironic.

    The leader board was a nice idea up until people began to cheat to the extreme.

    I agree that its pointless having a leaderboard, especially as it only takes XP into account. if there were other factors, such as win %, it would fair enough, right?

    I agree with this petition.The leaderboard doesnt define who you are as a player, so there really is no need to be on it.Truth is xp means nothing, you want a competition go and play somebody. :D
    I am TheNextObama and i approve this message :cool:

    I agree with removing the leader-board for a few of the reasons mentioned, but mainly because it encourages hacking or cheating.

    The leaderboard isn't even a good way of showing how good somebody is at the freaking game, just who has bought deluxe and who has spent the most time playing the game. There's no reason for it to be there.

    Yes exactly, skill is the only thing that actually shows how good someone is within the game.

    We need a hit to miss ratio... Wait, that can be abused to. Unless there is a distance limit.

    Or how about no leaderboards or statistics. Just a game that you play.

    Actually if you look at the tournament winners; I think that's a better leaderboard.

    At least you have to play with others in a competition to prove your skill.

    I briefly considered a percent win idea or even a rating system, but those could easily be ruined just as well as xp based ranking.

    Forum based tournaments would honestly be the most accurate, but everyone not involved in the forum would hate it with a passion.

    If the xp was earned legitimately, then I see no problem with the leader board. Seeing players already at Prestige 5 is a little disturbing. How is that even possible with normal daily game play?

    Yeah it would be no problem if it was earned legit, but this isn't the case thus this thread/petition was created.

    Then sign me up. But, you know that if it was removed, there'd still be some cheating going on...we just wouldn't be seeing it to question legitimacy.

    I'd read this. Discusses how it's almost impossible for certain players to not have cheated.
