It's all about T10-T1 placement. Sometimes there's only a handful of points keeping someone from hitting those placements, which can mean drastically different rewards. And that can mean people grind nodes for three points at a time to either keep their place or bump someone else out.

Just seems like too much work and would drive me mad playing the same node a couple hundred times.

Bugbag said: Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do you optimally clear nodes? Clear each one 4 times then wait until the last hour to do it again? Or is it different?
robertbah said: razor14 said: Overgrinding can't beat optimal 4x+3x clears since the change in easier nodes points, no matter what... Well, 3pt over-grinding is especially effective when the node values are low and goons only. E.g. The first sub in venom. That's how the current leader in my bracket did to beat us.
OJSP saidBut, i have seen people doing something similar when there's a non-repeatable node. They would leave that node untouched during the first 4 clears so they were not seen to have full points on the leaderboard and started grinding a node in the middle of the sub or closer to the end. Then when they did the non-repeatable node, they were 200 pts ahead of the leader.
