The problem with both the friendship and flamebate leaderboards were that they were ridiculously easy to game prior to the modifications. People will continue to try to game them as long as the totals seem doable.

The other leaderboards take a bit more time and planning to top. However I don’t really expect Paraone to quit playing so that other people have an easier time topping the most cred or to have any shot of getting the most forums pwned epeen.
