In that case, one that does not report hackers clearly doesn't want them to be banned.
Besides, not resetting stats only "benefits" a handful of members, compared to the rest of them.
The old users still get to keep their beloved stats, and they get new stats to work on.
Maybe, if possible, a merged leaderboard could be implemented as well. By that, I mean a leaderboard that adds on the old wins, yet continues to grow.
Firstly, not everyone can actually report hackers due to them not being able to run a recording software efficiently or having a very bad upload speed.
Secondly, it's not our job to report hackers if we do not wish to. Now explain how that means we don't want the hackers banned lmao. I've reported quite a lot of hackers, yet after one day of playing I get so many reports I spend most of my time filing those reports and get completely bored. It's not my job, and I don't need to do
anything. So don't tell me I need to report hackers. This doesn't mean I don't want to be banned, get some logic.
Lastly, you mentioning it only benefits a handful of people, just no. New leaderboards are just benefitting the selfish people who are too lazy to work themselves up on to the higher end of the leaderboard. Yes it's a journey but if you're determined to do it, and really want to do it then you would.
I did it, I didn't get no 'fresh start', it's complete bs if I say the least. Leaderboards and high ranks should be hard to obtain. Yeah it's still going to be hard but pfft, why should you guys get the 'easier' chance. We've earned our wins just like you would on the new leaderboards. Now you can say I'm being selfish by saying this however you're not in my position where you're ranked #21 and worked hard for it and it's literally just taking it away from us, a waste.
Please do not mention the legacy leaderboards as an excuse because it's pathetic and that leaderboard would be practically pointless.
