Preserving Leaderboard Motivation Long-Term
Morning/afternoon, Mr Warden Sir
I don’t usually comment on leaderboard trends because I mostly play to hang out and talk nonsense.
But I’ve noticed that botting had mostly calmed down since last spring, and this recent surge is the first spike of its kind in quite some time.
This isn’t about calling anyone out. It’s about sustainability.
When single-day gains start breaking established grind norms, it shifts the perception of what’s achievable through even very high dedication. That shift risks discouraging long-term grinders and mentors who invest serious time into the game.
Even small guardrails could help preserve motivation without restricting normal gameplay:
-
Minor randomized action delays to reduce perfectly repetitive cycles
-
Light diminishing returns after extreme hourly energy conversion
-
Smoothing or capping extreme daily spikes
I’m not asking for bans or enforcement drama. Just small structural adjustments that protect the long-term health of the leaderboard system.
Thank you
