PVE scoring question (not a complaint). I'm 90 minutes out from the end of the event, and it appears some people are out of reach (in the current and final sub), which doesn't make sense to me. Using the ranking I am currently at 22624 with everyone else whom did 4 clears. If the nodes reset to (almost) full, then one more run through every node should grant about 5600 pts (25% of 22624, or one of 4 clears worth), and would then drop the total value of the nodes down to 2/3 of that or about 3700 points, and dropping further for the last clear (#7) yielding just under 1900 points. So the total to be gained is about 11,200.
Yesterday when the sub started, I was #6 or 7 to finish my 4 clears. So only 5 or so are in front of me. Adding the 11200 to my current 22624 yields 33,824. And that is assuming the nodes are fully reset and worth max points (which they can not yet be).
Looking at the screenshot below, you can see 3 people are above the theoretical maximum point value for the sub. I know they took grinding for 1 point out of the game. So how could a player be nearly 1000 points ahead of the max? I am clearly missing something or my math and PVE understanding is wrong.

MaskedMan said: This is the problem with PvP it always encourages people to do their worst. In Ravager event on my node I kept running into someone who was shielded on all but one node. Obviously some new exploit. The rewards make being 1st few places all that matters since the rewards drop off so dramatically.
