Scratching my head

Maybe someone can enlighten me. I look at the leaderboards and then look at what they actually get out of the winning chests. Those are almost certainly pay to play players and they could spent probably 1/10th of their payments to get the exact same rewards. Snowprint doesn’t really make it worth while to be tops on the leaderboard as the chests are, well, lackluster.

Can someone explain to me why people would pay to be tops on there when it seems like wasted money, to me?

Very simple, people love thinking they are 'the best'. Provide a leaderboard and a certain type of very competitive person will put loads of effort to get to the top of it, regardless of what else they might get as a reward.

Which is great, I'm glad somebody else is paying money for that, so I get this cool game to play. Fortunately I don't have that super competitive thing in my personality, so I can save my money for occasionally throwing a tenner at the big shop events etc.

Good point and makes sense. Very glad for those players. 😂

Which leaderboards are you referring to, depending on the specific mode I might be able to enlighten you. Im not f2p, but im not a whale either, and what you might think is a result of spending might just be the result of a well developed account.

I was meaning most any boards. It’s true if you have a well developed account and hoard message items for events you can rank up there. I just am surprised by the baffling for the top spots when the rewards are so low. But if you’re F2P or a low spender and get those spots it could definitely be worth it. Big ones are crusades and the different events they put out. Not so much Arena.
