Today something happened that I have not seen happening before on my Farm Story 2 game and it's sucked the fun out of the current leaderboard event.

There were 19 others with me on the leaderboard for the first day or so, going back and forth taking the lead while playing the game and raking in points for products and deliveries.

All of a sudden, last night one person pops up on the #1 position with about 2200 points more than #1. Since then, 9 others have popped up in slots 1 through 9 with even more points, while the "original" leaderboard leaders are far, far behind (#1 now at about 4400 points, the ' original' leaderboard top players maxing out at 1200 points and still trading places for 11th place).

Now I checked if I updated my game to the latest version, which I have. I also checked if the game offers event point purchases (the 1800 points + expansion parts deal that always pops up at some point), but the game doesn't.

So where do people get 2500+ points from instantly? Is this some kind of hack/spam/bug? As a dedicated player of these events, I know the ebb and flow to them and what I'm seeing now can't be done with regular game play, unless 10 people on my leaderboard are suddenly using 1000's of gems and a ton of real cash to speed up their game. Never seen that happen before.

Anyone else have this? Storm8 seeing unusual activity as well? Would be happy to upload screenshots if needed. #1 now with 4400 points is a level 46 farm that doesn't even have a single boat fountain for the event and no infrastructure (that I can see) to pull off a point haul like that.
