I understand the fun some have with these leaderboard comparisons, and in some other context it might give you some idea of how you are doing, however it mostly seems pointless.
- You get nothing for whatever your placement on the leaderboard is. Bragging rights? No; because of the glitches, if nothing else.
- There are glitches to use to get higher on the leaderboard than you would be without them.
- The comparisons are apples to oranges. Different playing styles. Different grinding. Different real money spent on donuts. Different neighbors. etc.
Finally, you can hide neighbors or drop them and raise yourself on the leaderboard.
Hehe...I didn't even realize they were doing a leaderboard for this! I have always considered the leaderboards to be a tool for EA to make $$, as it doesn't really affect your game or give you anything for your ranking. I agree !00% with you!
This and this. Also,
For the first time since playing this game, I am #1, and about 300 million ahead of #2. I have a few neighbors who have every donut thing, and usually top out these leaderboards, but maybe the donut glitch is scaring them off? I have a secret weapon this time 'round tho, for what it's worth... I happen to be on bed rest, since the day before the expansion hit. So I am actually really grateful EA gave me something to do besides click through channels and stare out the window, but I imagine as soon as I go back to work, my neighbors will catch up and surpass me. And I'm ok with that.
I'm #52 out of 62 on my list who have non-zero scores at 32,828,000, so take that everyone!! And I feel like I've put in a lot of time on this...I've got some very dedicated neighbors!
And really, I haven't understood the point of the leaderboard since EA introduced it. No extra prizes...heck I can't even send a personal message to #2 to say "HA! Take that #2!" (should I end up being #1 in the first place).
I'd rather just build my silly little town and ignore it.
I have a $73, 049, 500 property value so I'm good.
Only looked at the leaderboard today (usually ignore these tbh) and found meself sitting 3rd with 642 million.
Kinda surprised how low some peoples totals are but I have been grinding like a cheap pole dancer for the last few days, as I bought meself a shiny new tablet and love being able to zoom around me town with no slow down

Solidly in the middle, just where I like it.
