    The weird thing is, tapping might just be a consequence of how placement is calculated atm. If you don't have a 'speed' roster, but you do want to get top placement (meaning t10 or whatever gives 4* or higher), your only viable way to pass the speedier players is to play the nodes more often.

    Finished T5 (#5 exactly) in Simulator with no tapping.  Played everything optimally including the loaner node.  180 points ahead of #6.

    It does require you to play optimally to the point that you're nearly perfect, but it definitely is possible. I've done it with my non 5-star roster in CL8 at least 3 times.

    When they did the test run I got 4th place just like the old days.  The event after the test I was pushed back to around the mid teens for placement.  I don't even try for the top 10 anymore

    i always play sl8

    It's irrelevant now.  Tappers begone.

    Woot woot.  Now it is time for the tappers to fall from the leaderboard.

    I have been entering a story about 3 hours or so after it has started and regularly finish top 10

    on the last event , if I had managed to do 7 clears on each node I think I would have finished top 5 easy , I still finished 6th with only 5 clears of the 5* node 

    so yes it’s definitely possible
