Hi guys, Ive been participating in the Microsoft weather E Tree program for quite a while now and i've just noticed that my points and rank arent synced up between my mobile weather app and my desktop edge browser webpage. Ive just broken into the top 50 and yet my name doesnt appear in the top 50 list. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt710,

As per Anonkj's reply, the thread that talks about hacking and some more information on the web, following possibilities:

  1. Microsoft has stopped the program but not yet removed it - may come back with revamped version
  2. The hacking that happened in ranking caused Microsoft to freeze the last correct rank list. - So your present rank of 13 is against the frozen rank list and not the real updated scenario. My rank is 12 as of today. Once Microsoft allows the current actual rank list to be visible and updated again - we'll get our real rank and that may be much below 50 (I feel).
  3. There is some bug in the program and Microsoft is yet to correct it.

Hope they at least plant the trees that we all have virtually grown.

    Hi A630MP,

    Thanks for the conformation, i did complete the Xmas tree bonus tree which explains where the extra 10k on the mobile version came from.

    Hi Matt,

    I had some issues with the E-tree program and came across this thread.

    The issue with Mobile App showing 10K extra points comes from Christmas Virtual Tree. Considering your habit of gathering all possible points, which has gotten you up the ranking ladder; I assume you also planted the special Christmas E-tree by collecting all the ornaments. Since, that tree didn't require the daily points gatherings; the mobile app counts that tree the same as others. So it counts 53 trees planted thus 537180 points. But the desktop/web version counts the points that you have gathered, which is indeed 52718.

    Hope this helps; also, if you have any information regarding how the leaderboard has become so wonky with points and number of trees jumping by as much as 10-20k, I would appreciate sharing it.

    Cheers,

    Arash

    True.
    Even after going through daily drill diligently, every morning I'm one rank down just because a new "low tree count - high points" ID is there.
