That's the most likely scenario. I agree that is the most likely scenario but the fact that Blue Rogue seems to have somehow gamed the system worries me that if he/she has figured out a point hack you would try it out first in a sub-mission before firing it off in the overall mission. I haven't seen that many ties with that many points in any sub-mission so farthough The Hunt or The Hulk. It worries me a tiny bit not a tinyktty bit just a tiny bit. The system is clearly set up that suppose you're so strong that you select 'fight' and the enemies simply roll over and die and you just keep on click 'fight' until there is nothing left to fight, you'd always be #1 (unless there are guys doing exactly the same thing), so there's nothing to 'game' here. If your characters are strong enough to simply win every PvE match you'll always be at the top. The rubberband system isn't there to help you surpass the guy who wins every PvE encounter the moment they're available. It's there to make sure you can come close to a guy who can grind infinitely well. I'm pretty sure the familiar guys at the top simply just do every PvE mission whenever they become available. Now maybe there's something fishy for being able to beat those level 245X3 guys so reliably but it's hardly impossible. Again, if you simply grinded every mission the moment they're available, you'd still be on the top of the ranking and no trick is needed at all.

That would at least make the rubber banding a bit more palatable. Just sitting here looking at Nevada events. Trying to decide if I should play them or not. 138 for the first event right now. Wait and hope they go up a little? Play them and wait and hope its good enough?
