First I want to thank everyone for their patience. Over the past two and a half years I have been working on making our leaderboards as fair and accessible as possible. I have fixed a ton of bugs. I have gotten rid of methods that made the leaderboard only accessible to premium upgrades. I closed loopholes that made it so super rich players could prevent others from ranking on the LB. Most recently I updated our point boards so that all boards could run and no board would be pay to win.

I made sure to meter these changes out slowly so they could be implemented without any major shocks to the system, and to make sure every change was carefully considered. That meant the whole process took multiple real life years, but finally I can call the LB updates done.

Over the years I have seen two camps form around the leaderboards, those who "get it" and dominate and those who don't understand how things like eras, benchmark comparison and boosting can make all the difference on the boards. I have compiled everything I think every player should know about the leaderboards into the FAQ. If you know the information presented here, you have everything you need to build a powerful barn that can compete on the leaderboards.

My goal with this FAQ is to make sure every player has equal access to knowledge about how the lbs work and what makes a strong show herd, even if they choose not to use that knowledge for their own herds. With that in mind if you see anything that needs more clarification, or have questions about the leaderboard not covered in this guide please let me know.
