AGS Devs what did you learn from the PTR Leaderboards?

Title. Need a response devs. What did you actually learn from the PTR and why did you decide to go with the current state of exploitable leaderboards?

Here’s a pretty popular forum post where @Aenwyn explicitly acknowledged the broken system and asked us to put it on the forums. Why do we bother?

They gathered data on musket damage from the sky. They’re testing how far they can keep pushing the playerbase before we say we’re done with this and deserve better as a community, as customers, and fan people. Lost a lot respect a while ago… gorilla glueing what’s left to the wall as a reminder of what might come years from now.

What tilts me the most is whenever they say, “We hear you, we are listening” because no you’re not

I asked them about a week ago why they were pushing them live with the current scoring issues and got a response to “trust the process”.

Yeah…this is why I don’t trust the process.

They bring it without changes because they are desperate of losing more players if there is no interesting patch very soon.
But they forgot that nobody cares about the rewards since its just achievements, titels and some skins that dont even look good unfortunately.
Also everyone knows that leadboards mean nothing and its way to easy to abuse them.
I think the long christmas/holiday break was a mistake and some of them should have stayed in the office to work on weapon balance and a real ranked system but not leaderboards.

This isn’t the first time a PTR update has gotten pushed to live with 0 changes or actual responses to our feedback. The PTR isn’t a test realm at all. It’s a showcase for their new content.

The PTR is what I consider a combo of Gaslighting the community and a Meme. I refer to it as a “Gaslit Meme”. Honestly that’s what it is and always has been since the 1st PTR Last November.
