Has Microsoft E-Tree Been Exploited?

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.

    Ist diese Woche wieder passiert, ich war auf der Liste mit 5k, Alle User mit 51 gepflanzten Bäumen waren vorgestern Morgen aus dem unteren Bereich der Liste verschwunden. Nicht so auffällig wie im Februar, aber dennoch ärgerliche. Es tauchten völlig Neue User mit vielen Bäumen auf und ich rutschte wieder auf 10k, Wenn dass so weitergeht macht das keinen Spaß mehr... . Vor allem, weil es scheinbar keiner von Microsoft bemerkt und wieder bereinigt.

    I also noticed this. Suddenly a bunch of users appeared with 80+ trees who weren't there before (or an insane amount of points but only 20 trees planted, fore example). It's nowhere near as bad as last time, but loads of people from the top 50 have disappeared.
    I'm not sure if the updates have just been terrible recently and it's only just refreshed, or if people exploiting it are being a bit more sneaky and thinking if they don't go for the top 3 they won't get noticed, but either way it's a problem and spoiling the fun a bit.

    Ist mir auch aufgefallen, sind plötzlich letzte Woche dagewesen. Stürzte dadurch von 5k wieder auf 10k zurück, sehr ärgerlich...

    I've reported our concerns to the feeback team via the PC app, hopefully someone will pick it up?
