I firstly reported my personal issue on Discord. Unfortunately, the staff there didn't understand or didn't want to understand the issue. They were replying some default answers that doesn't apply to my case. There is also a possibility they didn't know what happened and even less why. I realized, the staff there is not informed or educated enough about such deeper game functionalities, so I decided not to insist on some answers there. Instead, I sent a ticket by email to their official support. The reply I've got after 11 days was speculating about in-game possibilities that might triggered the deduction of my points. Unfortunately, all those speculations don't have anything with my concrete case, so I made a reply (ticket update), as it was suggested in the mail in case if it doesn't answer or solve my issue. That update/reply was sent a week ago, but I didn't receive any reply ever since.
Regarding the leaderboard issue, except posting the link of this post in their post-promotional channel(s) I didn't make any special bug report in their tech-support channel on Discord, as I'm afraid the staff working there wouldn't know how to deal with it, same as they didn't know how to deal with my private issue in the game.
I can see now that the problem persist in active league as well. Whenever I refresh the page I find different active leaderboard. Sometimes, it's a leaderboard with different players, some other time it's a leaderboard with the same players but with different rating points where the points fluctuate again +/- 1000.
Honestly, I don't know what to think anymore!
Take a look at screenshots I just took, and you'll see! Pay attention on the rating numbers!
(It's only 2 minutes and 20 seconds in-between those two entirely different leaderboards, and I really don't know which one is the right one!?!)
Never the less, thank you very much for your concern, comment and support!
Here is what I see now. It is in line with your second screenshot.
When I hard-refresh the page, the leaderboard stays roughly the same. Numbers change slightly, of course, because these players are active all the time.
Yet, they shouldn't change by so much.
You could mention (tag) the Splinterlands bosses if you think you deserve their attention :) Go straight to the top.
Can you please, click on any other league leaderboard and then return back to see if it would stay the same?!
Regarding tagging Splinterlands' bosses, I was thinking about that, but wanted first go by some more or less regular procedure, as I think they might be occupied with more important things like, proper functioning of new Amazon servers (especially when it comes to the transaction speed), launching new Chaos legion card collection, land launch, etc.
Besides, that's something, I suppose, they are paying for their tech support staff. Meaning, even if they can't solve the issue, they should report it to developers or whoever will take care about it from there on, and take care it would be solved. Otherwise, in my opinion, this staff would be more or less useless.
My second reason, why I didn't tag the bosses is avoiding their attention, not because I deserve it or not, but because it's not about me at all. So, I wanted to avoid possible different interpretation.
It's an issue considering every single player, and especially those that are competing for first 20 or so places by the end of the season, as it's not the same if, i.e., competing for the first place a player should achieve 2000-something or 3000-something rating points. Huge difference!
You are right. It's wrong when you switch from Bronze to Silver and back to Bronze. Then it's right again :) The behaviour is inconsistent.
I still think that this is a major bug and that top brass should be made aware of it. Luckily, it's not something that would harm players in any way.
I'm glad you saw it and fully understand now what I'm talking about!
Unfortunately, I'm not so sure as you are that it wouldn't harm players, as I don't know to explain otherwise disappearing of my 1002 rating points (two seasons ago).
You can't say these two things are connected. Still, everything should be on record. It's blockchain after all ...
Well, I agree with you, it shouldn't be connected, but are they or not, I don't know. But it's strange.
Blockchain is also my last hope. That's exactly what I told the support team in my ticket, as I also think it should be recorded somewhere. Although, I saw recently in one of the announcements (I don't recall if it was at Discord or Hive post) how they moved some things on server to reduce the transaction time and keep it bellow 3 seconds to meet the Hive blockchain criteria and avoid those freezes of the game that were happening. Is one of those things (rating and leaderboard) that were moved on servers, so they are not recorded on the blockchain anymore, I don't know.
