A handful of new users jumped to the top of the leaderboard with round-number points in the millions. Disconcerting to legitimate and dedicated users. Suspicious and conspicuous. Current number 6, Yggdrasil, was in clear first place, at least for the last few months.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I am based in the US, and I am experiencing the same as you. I see the top leaderboard users still generating a new e-tree every few days (like I used to be able to do) but with the new points system, it takes weeks for me to earn a new e-tree. It's a demotivator and I have also stopped doing all the tasks everyday, considering quitting it altogether.
Another annoying factor is I've tried asking about this (even got to a real person) and the only response I got was to check the FAQ. It does now say that you need to earn 50,000 points for each tree after number 5, (so it's now 10,000 for 1, 20,000 for 2 etc etc) which sure, okay, I guess people are moving faster than they expected and they can't handle planting that many, but that obviously isn't the case for everybody as people are still racking up trees every few days and that's impossible without an exploit.
There's also zero information about why everybody using the edge browser suddenly lost all their e-tree data after that date in March (though I have a theory that they screwed up on edge when they rolled out the points update, seems a bit too coincidental that both happened at the same time).
Still annoying that multiple people have raised questions about this and people cheating and they're just like "lol sorry that happened, have you tried reading the FAQ?"

I wonder as well. I see that the #1 person now has a second ranking under the same name (#49). How has he managed to pass everyone again? Also, the people with 46 trees and 930300 points, 48 trees 961000
60 trees 1175000. I have 65 trees and 741980.

It doesn't seem like Microsoft knows about the situation about the leaderboards or are trying to keep it quiet for now. It's getting out of hand at the moment. Top 3 have over 4 million points which shouldn't even be possible.
They don't care, they also have scam ads and do nothing about it.
