I just plant like I always do, breed, hatch and evolve as much as possible, feed only as much as necessary to keep the evolution flower busy, and see where I stand in the last few hours. If it looks doable (and sometimes I actually do the math), I boost and go for it.

    Unfortunately, I've had a couple of close calls lately that have depleted my food stores, especially for Sakrysta. If that group gets ambitious this time, I probably won't spend the food & gems, even though first prize is REALLY pretty and I REALLY REALLY want it.
    Me too. I’ll wait until I have a huge chunk of food (I’m at 140k now) and animals ready in breeding, hatching, and evolution, and wheel ready to spin. But, since I worry about not having enough food for the storybook, I usually do it a few days before the end, so I’ll end the event with some food. Then if I need another boost to hit 7200 and decide that I want to do so, I can use it with the food I built up over those few days. I always do the math first to determine if it’s worth it and will actually get me what I need (ie my current 140k food is 700 points x 1.5 = 1125 points, plus hatching points, etc.)

    I'm in the craziest LB group I've ever been in. Can't wait to see what happens.

    I am done with storm 8 and this game. leaderboards are the worst thing they have come up with and are really unfair as only a few get to have the prize.The other events are bad too as it is impossible to win anything in this game. I am sick of missing out. I can't out spend the gem spenders and never have a chance.

    I agree to a point. If you get into a group who constantly buy boosts and have to out do each other from day one it definitely becomes rediculous and kind of childish in my opinion because they usually end up with a sniper who takes it in the end. Those people just run it up and S8 is the winner but if you're lucky enough to get in a group where they just play the game, which is the sensible way to play, then you have a chance at the end even if you have to use some gems and food. Good luck

    Leaderboards are the one event where I think the players have the most control. Yes, it may be that the other players in your group are super determined, but at least you're not fighting the increasingly difficult odds set behind the scenes of the game. While it IS disappointing when I end up in a group that goes crazy with boosting & gem spending, at least they are playing the game on their own terms. Whereas when we have events and goals that require us to breed animals that never breed, or win tournaments that are unreasonably difficult, or earn so many tokens that it's impossible to complete without a ridiculous outlay of funds - yeah, those events are the ones that are really starting to bother me.

    At least in the Leaderboard I'm competing against other players, not spinning my wheels against the game itself.

    Can we stop making the events so ridiculously impossible to even complete the goals without spending hundreds of gems? You're not making me more inclined to buy gems. just less and less interested in playing the game at all.
