How can this be. I joined a Noon starting time est the NOD is only 4 hours old

first place has 6500 pts
2nd place has 4600
then falls to 3100

there is no way first place could have 6500 pts while everyone else is 4k

6500 pts in 4 hours i highly doubt that right?

    A lot of people choose to grind nodes down instead of waiting for the refresh(this is called rabbiting). So this score is very possible. It is also a bad strategy if you want to win. Hit all the nodes every 8 hours and you will quickly catch up to the guy/gal in first
  • Yup, not cheating...just horribly inefficient.

    There's 2600 base points 6500 / 2600 = 2.5 = 1 + 5/6 + 4/6. So someone decided to do three full clears (that doesn't make much sense with 8-hr refreshes but it's certainly possible).
