Shard Chats = cheating

I have started to encounter this as well. Day in and day out the top 5 is identical, albeit it rotating order. I took the mindset of “just get better” and have started claiming top payout 1-2 times a week, and now I fall farther down the ladder every day. I reached out to one of the “members” and the response I got was “we have worked hard to stay in the top 5 since the beginning, we’ll let you in the chat and you can take 6...” thanks but no thanks, I’m already taking top 10 daily without your help, and now I’ve made it my mission to take top spot daily until they change their mind. Rotating shards would solve this, I hope the devs see the issue
