As someone else stated... "Aren't all forms of entertainment a waste of time and money?"

Now I'm not speaking to you specifically because you don't seem to be judging anyone... But for those that are.... When you spend the bulk of your salary on charity and spend all your free time feeding the homeless and taking care of stray animals maybe then you can judge people for how I spend my time and money. Fairly sure that all of us "Entertainment junkies" are wasting our time and money on one form of entertainment or another until we kick the bucket Even the 30 seconds it takes to post on facebook/forums telling someone they're a jerk for scoring a bunch of points is a waste of time is it not?

Well said. To me, spending $money$ on this game no different than spending $20 for a movie ticket, or $95 on a concert ticket.
For me, it's worth it. More than worth it actually. Started playing in early March of 2014. A couple weeks ago I took some time and added up all of my google play receipts from this game and the total was a bit over $3k USD. Which I imagine would be less than some but more than most. The trade off is that I have only purchased 4 console games (1 xbox 360, 2 xbox one, 1 ps4) since I started MPQ. Normally, I would get 3 or 4 new games a month. But I'm a huge Marvel fan, and I really love this game. So for me personally, this game is worth spending money. I enjoy it and it keeps me entertained.

So, for the ones that are entertained by getting 3k, 4k, or 5k points in a single event, ... I say have at it and have some fun. . If that's the way people like to have fun in this game, then that's what they should do.

A big thanks to Mr. maestro, franckyknight, shams, worldrunner, Puerto Rico, Viral Core, Predatah,Saxonomy, phraeg and any other crazy high scorers I failed to mention.

All you guys make it possible for me to do three to five 50 point matches per hop! Its brought the fun back to PvP that the **** time slices took away.Grinding out 21 point matches stinks. With you guys no more of that! Keep it up and let the haters hate.

I just don't understand why they didn't wait for the last PvP before the shield change. When someone hits 7k next time, no one's going to remember any of this.

Famous last words incoming ...

I would think that it's going to be easier to put up ridiculously high scores in Elektra's event than any established 3* character simply because 99% of folks are running the loaner Elektra with a single purple cover. If the featured character has over 10K health then fights are going to last longer which makes hopping more dangerous. Loaner Elektra can be taken out with a single X-Force attack.

There is one problem with elektra... Some have leveled her and if you face her, you get purple from xforce black... Who needs purple??? Nobody! And fights are longer. With storm you get red or green and both are very good for xforce and thor.

Puerto Rico just broke 6000 in Cat-5 PvP. Just incredible I'd be curious to know how many Hero Points this cost. With the changes to the shields I can see why people are going for crazy high scores.

I wish D3 would post the top 10 scores achieved in each event - just as a reference....would be pretty cool to see what people are scoring with all the new times....then again, I'd like to have MY leaderboard be there when it ends....so there's that....

I don't understand why they don't posts top 10, an average score, a # of players played...give us some stats so we know how the game is going!

As for those posting these ridiculously high scores - wtg! I think it's awesome....and if I get upset when I see it it's simply out of jealousy

And I see your point on the "ego feeding", it was just an assumption on my part as stated since I don't understand why some one would go through the trouble...but hey, if it's your bag, and fun, then kudoos. I don't see anyone crashing into my living room and cutting me down for spending long hours running quests and errands for a set armour peice.
cheers.

PM me your address and if you live close enough, I will come on by to your living room and rib you for getting that armor piece.

Why is it that when ever anybody gets a high score, the first thing that comes to most people's mind, is "how much did it cost$$$$?"
It ignores the friends you are playing with. It is not easy to get there alone.
It ignores the communication you work on with the friends.
It ignores the strats you have learned.
It ignores everything else, you put into getting to the score.

Successful games, usually have a strong social aspect.
I watched these guys scores climb, and I cheered a few of them on in PM's.
I was happy for them.
Congratulations to everybody who broke the 6K mark.
To the people who intentionally sniped them. pffftttt

I didn't keep count. But between shields,boost, skipping nodes. I'd guesstimate half a stark salary and half a mother load. But I didn't keep tally.

I don't understand how this is even possible. I'm in top spot in my group in Top Gun and can't hit ANY fight past twenty to save my life. I have to skip 20-30 fights just to find ONE that gives me more than ten points.
