    When I get on a board like that I just concentrate on getting the Milestone Prizes.
    The Bug Hunting Frog really looks nice.

    No changes to the Leader Board event. Same old points from same old farming, same old milestones. Seems our voices are not being heard.

    My Take on the Leaderboard
    1. They always do another event at the same time so you can choose not to play the leaderboard but you still have an event to do.
    2. There is always prizes for completing the milestones. They give the Boost item for free and usually a pet. These goals are achievable by just Farming. Spin the Wheel, pigs, make cornstarch, keep my Dehydrator and Cider House going full tilt. Send some delivery trucks.
    3. Sometimes I get lucky and win the major prize. If a few players start boosting right from the beginning and jump way out in the lead then I just concentrate on achieving the Milestone Prizes. Quite often them being way out in the lead gives me better spins on the wheel.
    4. I like that that we know what machines are going to be used and I have them full and ready to collect.

    My Opinion on why there are Leaderboards.
    Why do they sell Leaderboard points!
    To pay the bills plain and simple. It is the end of the month and there are employees to be paid, overhead expenses, etc
    Are they greedy? No they are staying afloat. Period. Survival in a cutthroat business.
    Some events are going to be gimmes like the Last Event.
    Almost everyone received the prize by jut watching the newspaper and doing the goals.
    But if every event was a gimme then Storm8 would cease to exist.
    Leaderboard I am thinking is likely a huge money maker because players that go to work every day suddenly have the opportunity to buy their way to the top.
    But then on the flip side you have the crowd that with not much to do play a lot of hours ...suddenly they find their lead gone because someone in their group bought points. And yes it is frustrating but try to look at it this way...
    Those players that bought points just injected a huge amount of money into the company and that my friend is what allows a lot of players to play for free and keeps the game going.
    In a leaderboard only ten percent of the players is going to win the grand prize.
    There are milestone prizes to be won by everyone.

    I want this game to continue. I have played it for many years.

    Thank you Judy! I used to be a free player but now allow myself a small gem budget to help keep the game going... without leaderboards and other events I'd be bored to tears just farming. I really look forward to the events and pick and choose which prizes I'm willing to splurge some gems for.. I may spend a few dollars a month,less then the cost of a lunch out, and usually skip a month here and there.. its not going to break me and I would waste much more money on amazon if I wasn't so busy bribing my chickens!

    You know, I shouldn't celebrate already - BUT, I am in first place and have been since I've started this leaderboard event.

    I'm impressed, though I shouldn't get excited as there still is about a little over 7 days left. But this is the longest running time I've stayed in first place, so how could I not? (Though this may backfire, from me already celebrating my victory)

    No one is close to catching up, but that doesn't mean someone won't. But I'm still celebrating my small victory for now!

    Crossing fingers for you. The caterpillar is really cute but I am in third spot but I love the frog so I am trying my best to get to the end of the milestones.
