Ok so I remember seeing somewhere on an old post that employees from 4J occasionally visit this site....or that they're floating around the forums like ethereal ghosts reading up on current gripes or compliments during their lunch breaks (assuming). So I'm posting this up in the hope that someone from 4J will notice.....or at the very least someone who knows how to contact them directly will do so on my behalf. Oh I've tried....I've emailed 4J but they tend to be strangely quiet.....but that seems to be their standard modus operandi.
My issue is this - I made my decision to crack the number one spot on the leaderboard for kills (Easy mode....yeah soft I know). Over the past couple of months I've been grinding out kills, ploughing hour after hour into xp farms, and slowly watching my rank drop day by day. Finally, just a couple of days ago, I cracked into the top 10.......despite the countless obvious hacked and faked scores that I had to overcome. So with one last epic grind session I hammered out enough kills to easily catapult me into the number 1 spot.
......and that's where the dream ended......
So it seems that my rank is perminantly frozen on 5th spot. Despite only 48 odd kills separating my score from the number 1 score I've punched out a few more hundred scalps in the hope of finally, if not briefly, seeing my name in the number 1 spot. A singular moment in time that means squat to anyone else but me......but my moment none the less. But it seems that my brief moment at the top will never come......either the leaderboard is busted, scores are capped or some other crazy blockade is robbing me of my (worthless) glory. Every auto update that flashes up on the screen I can't help think "This could be it.....finally".......but there it remains - 5th spot.
So.....4J.......what's the deal? Have I wasted my time? How bad are the leaderboards in need of repair? I wish I hadve known there was an invisible ceiling months ago when I first took a interest in reaching the top of the mountain. Pretty rough justice for a 100% legit gamer and long time MCPS3 fan.
I await your answer and only hope I get a chance to update this post with better news.

(update) Well the leaderboards look like they've been "fixed"......sorta. There are new rankings present and I've dropped from 5th to 7th. But I did notice my rank is now higher than the previous number one holder before the changes so it leads me to believe scores can now progress. Sadly with this "fix" came a new batch of bogus hacked scores.....far too large for any sane person to attempt to challenge. Out of the 6 ranks that beat mine I'd place money that 5 of them are fake. I guess it's time to accept the inevitable. 7th it is....7th it will stay.
