Has Microsoft E-Tree Been Exploited?

I think this whole e-tree program is now totally broken, today I completed a tree, no longer asked me to plant it and grow a new one, Now tree takes 50,000 points to complete rather than 10,000 . Each level is now 5000 points x 10 levels. No bonuses are available when completing tree with sidebar app, the phone app resets back to zero all the time even though you complete it everyday. Also the e-tree no longer works on all edge browser versions, it only works after installing latest beta edge version on my pc. To be honest I dont think I will bother with this anymore, the leader board is totally broken with new users having very few planted trees but massive points massed suddenly appearing on the league table board. Well done MS another "feature" tested application.

I have stopped playing , sad really after 485 days straight!! good idea while it lasted, but like all these things there will be people who cheat and try and buck the system. It will be a relief in a way not to have to remember to click an extra 3 times a day to get those 600 points!!

I noticed today that the points needed went up suddenly to 50,000 instead of 10,000. But at times when I looked it was still at 10K for the E-tree sidebar. Something is bonkers with the app, probably like stated before, Hackers.......... Some dip-dunk trying to show off, get their 15 seconds of fame by being #1. Okay, they have it; # 1 * ! Prior military will get the asterisk. As in "only 1 * to.......". So, there we have it, a ripe bunch of *'s needing to feel important or something. I'm at 88 days so far, 27 trees, and in the 5K bunch. Don't ever expect to make the top, but don't mind either. Yggdrasil has evidently been at it a long time now, and kudo's to them, along with the other top earners. Maybe MSN will "reset" the board back to who is really doing the right things, and actually earning their way. I hope so. Still, if it is now 50K for a tree, we got a long way to go............ I was liking earning one every 4 to 5 days, now it will take 2-3 weeks. Earning about 2,090 points a day equals 23.92 days. So three weeks plus now, instead of 4 days. Maybe MSN needed to slow the earnings rate down a bit. I hope they will let us all know. Till then, we keep striving and earning. "And as long as the grumbling goes on, the beatings will continue....." Scouts out...

Also some people (myself now included) have lost all their progress just by clicking on the e-tree icon in edge! I lost 49 trees and my tree name because I clicked the icon (definitely on the right account and it has officially wiped it on all versions. Phone app, msn, edge, all of it) and found out from another thread it's apparently a server issue which has messed with a lot of people. This is honestly embarrassing.

Same here so I have closed he app so i don't see it and get cross thats 458 days in a row gone !!
