Make Leaderboards fair again

There are two threads about LLS and wrestler trait. I think the main concern from these two are the leaderboards. I can't imagine another reason, where people care about star counts from others.
So I start a new thread about this topic.
As a good example I want to take the last challenge with hunter bonus.
I am mainly FTP. So the last challenge I cleared all stages of 26/2 and earned 1071 stars (with 6 gas refills with hard earned gold)
This wasn't the point where I can't earn any more stars. It was the point where no more gas and time left.
With Challenge 2.0 you are not limited to your survivors, gear and tactics. The main limiting factor is the time and money you are willing to invest.
So all FTP player are in the near future no longer able to stay in the Leaderboards.
I understand and welcome the fact that with challenge 2.0 low and midlevel player are able to participate longer in the challenge.
But there is a problem for high level FTP player who have hardly fought for their rank in the leaderboards.

I do care about a balanced, challenging and interesting game.
I fully agree with you that the current formats requires the purchase of at least one gas booster to even have a chance to compete with the top players. For now, I do purchase max 1 gas booster and see where that lands me.
Yes, ppl purchasing multiple gas booster should have an advantage, but it shouldn't directly translate into starz. I think we can easily agree on that.
Also, I have been asking for months to wipe the leaderboards and start from scratch, give us a lvl playing field to compete with ea other,
since that is what the words 'leaderboard' and 'challenge' suggest.

This game will never be completely balanced when it comes to things like that.
Also if you don't care about the leaderboard why do you care so much about people using LLS or Wrestler? If that is boring to you, don't use it. But don't try to police other people's style of play or make NG remove or alter features according to what you deem to be ideal. Your mileage may vary.
If it's not about the leaderboard I really don't get what's it to you how others play the game.
There are many things that might balance the game but eliminating all strategies that are still left after all that has been nerfed already certainly won't.
Morbid Survivors are looking for you! If you are looking for a new guild, PM me.
And no matter how many strategies they kill, nothing will change the fact that paying players will have an advantage. And why shouldn't they have one?
Even if LLS is taken away they still will have the same advantage - it will only cost them more money (and that will throw back some F2P players, too). Same with Wrestler...

That's why they changed it, don't ya think?
What I have suggested on multiple occasions is to have NG add a weekly individual leaderboard in the same format as the new guild leaderboard, to the existing historical leaderboard. This would maintain the integrity of the current individual scores, and allow the rest of us to see just how well we faired against other players every challenge.
This seems like a very easy solution for NG that would benefit all the current players, new and old.
Weekly leader boards = who is currently the best at this game (I know I know and who spends the most)
Still , it's long overdue and would create great friendly competitiveness within guilds and the community . Even better? Weekly leader and guild leader rewards . Hopefully that will be coming soon though . It's a long grind to get through these challenges and a big commitment to max stars , effort vs. Reward still needs to be tweaked
