I just created a new character.
At day2 I was able to play arena.
Leaderbord I checked.
100k gp 30 raids done was rank 1.

Some people have hoarded for a very long time, and some managed to find guilds willing to let them contribute minimum tickets. Apparently you can spend energy without gaining xp by Forfeiting the battle, this would allow them to complete the guild activities such as LS/DS/Cantina/Hard mode battles. If they do this often enough, they have enough guild currency to purchase a character up to 6* or 7* and participate in raids.

I myself have an account where I've hoarded more than 20K energy. I'm pretty much too lazy to ever start playing this account because the thought of trying to use up 20K energy on the first day is bumming me out a bit.

On my acount completing guild activities is rewarded with xp. The rest see below...

I see. Guild currency even possible to hoard. No need to collect the daily activity. Still raids and gw have been done on those acounts I'm facing with 2 day old acount.

As I understand 84 galactic war battles won means that dude, even if he did your strategy, must have played at least 84 days right? Assuming he made it from lvl 1 to 40 in a day

84 nodes you meant? That's exactly 7 days worth of GW so seems right. You probably entered the leaderboard 7 days later than him. And yes you can hit 40 on day 1 easily.

And 30 raids?

Raids have no level requirements. As long as you have a character with enough star requirement. I know a few hoarders who bought the 7* Rey promotion.

It's possible to find a guild that will let you join raids while not contributing tickets. You can join a guild at level 22 or so.

Just be brave and start your arena when you reach it. Waiting to be the first of a new shard only to quickly reach #1 is a coward thing to do, and it hurts real new players.

Only way to make the difference up before level 85 is $$$$$$

I understand. The 30 raids have been hoarded 2 I assume.
Sad that this is even possible and allowed!
Completet galactic wars have been hoarded 2 I bet. They starting lvl 40.

There is nothing against this because the person is "playing" and putting time into the game. Yes in the loosest sense of the game, but they are putting in the daily login and are working their plan.

If you do the same. You can make it too be a top player.

Sure right. Allways can buy your way to the point where scores a even.

Being p2p is more respectable than not playing fair and preying on noobs.
Not being #1 is not the end of the world. I'm f2p and I am not #1. My highest rank ever has been #100, and only once, because my f2p arena team only has 93k power and only 3 gold toons. Guess what? I'm alive. And I enjoy the game the same as anyone else.
I still haven't seen a reason why abusing noobs is sportsmanlike.

1) You should create an account and bring it up to level 7 first in preparation to join the new leaderboard.

All the guides I ever saw said you join the leaderboard in your 20s (I think 28), this is the first time I am seeing lvl 7-8 as the join time, especially cause you can't even access the board at that time... Can someone confirm?

Look at the time I posted that, it was before the change to open leaderboard at 28.
