    Earned GE Credits/Hr (Leaderboard) Calculations Are Off!!!

    ..so before i started my ge credits/hr run yesterday i cleared my ge wallet and had only around 200 ge credits in my pouche/wallet..i also had a total of 109 last stand/skirmish caches in my stash (71 on my character and 38 in my expansion stash).

    at exactly 2.01pm (@ time.is) i finished off the hunter and therefore completed my 1st run on amherst apartment (legendary). right after i completed 2 more runs on amherst apartment (both still legendary of course) + 1 clear sky run on heroic + 1 lz boss kill (bullet king). i had no intention to break a ge/hr world record here - i just wanted to make sure i'm in tier 3 on the ps4 leaderboard. so i took my time and at around 2.45pm i fast travelled back to the terminal to open my 109 last stand/skirmish caches for an additional 85 credits per cache each (worth a total of 9265 ge credits). i checked my ge credits wallet and had exactly 6195 ge credits on me. since i started the hour w/ around 200 ge credits in my wallet, i must've earned at least 6000 ge credits in the past 45 minutes from 2.01pm - when i completed my first legendary run, to around 2.45pm when i ended up back at the base in the terminal after i just finished off bullet king. first thing i did though was buying 4 x 1500 ge credits superior season 5 caches for a total of 6k ge credits to make sure my wallet won't hit the max of 10k ge credits when i open up my last stand/skirmish caches. so after i bought my superior caches i moved on and opened all my 109 ge caches..at 2.55pm i was done and i ended up w/ a total of 9461 ge credits in my wallet again (remember: i had 196 ge credits left after i bought 4 x 1.5k superior caches for 6k + 9265 ge credits for 109 last stand/skirmish caches = 9461 ge credits).

    summary (in order i completed it):
    3 x legendary mission completions --> 4725 ge credits (+ boss kills)
    + 1 x heroic incursion --> 900 ge credits (+ boss kill)
    + 1 x lz boss kill --> 150 ge credits
    + 109 last stand/skirmish caches --> 9265 ge credits
    = a total of at least 15040 ge credits (+ i think you get 58 credits per mission/incursion boss kill..i wasn't sure though, so i didn't put it into my calculation)

    anyway..here's the thing: WHY DO I SHOW UP IN THE LEADERBOARD WITH ONLY 11048 GE CREDITS/HR INSTEAD OF AT LEAST 15K?!?..could somebody explain that to me please? i mean, i never experienced a ge/hr calculation problem with the past global events..but this time it's waaaaaaaaaaay off..i'm missing around 4000 ge credits earned per hour..WTF!!!!! is it not enough that we are pretty much forced to hoard last stand/skirmish or survival caches just to secure us a spot in tier 3..and now you can't even get the calculations right..seriously? i mean, i'm still in tier 3, but it's a close call.

    oh btw, i also have video proof of the last 30 minutes (you can only record a max of 30min on ps4) of my 1hr ge credits run. it still includes me completing 1 legendary mission + 1 heroic incursion + 1 lz boss kill + the opening of my 109 ge caches..even that should be worth around 12000 ge credits/hr instead of the just 11048 ge credits/hr i got! it seems like i got rewarded for only 1 legendary completion (1575 ge credits for completion + 58 boss kill) + 1 lz boss kill (150 ge credits) + 109 last stand/skirmish caches (9265 ge credits) = 11048 ge credits/hr. but again..i completed my ge credits/hr run in the following order starting at 2.01pm: 1.: 3 x legendary missions in a row, 2.: 1 x heroic clear sky incursion.. 3.: killed 1 lz boss, 4.: opened 109 last stand/skirmish caches (after i bought 4 superior caches for a total of 6k ge credits) ending my ge credits/hr run at 2.55pm. so what happened to the other 2 legendary amherst apartment completions and the 1 heroic clear sky incursion?

    please double check your ge credits/hr 'system'..pretty sure i'm not the only one who's earned ge credits/hr are off ..thanks..

    I think the everglades only update once a day at 8pm EST. Did you check your tokens earned after that time?

    yes, leaderboard updates every 24 hours at 8pm i know that..i'm still sitting at 11048 in tier 3. i'd be really pis*ed though if i don't stay in tier 3. i think it should be over now anyway though..the remaining 8 hours of the event don't count towards the leaderboard, right?

    In my honest and humble opinion I just don't care. You tried to cheat the system and now that the cheat is not working you are having a snowflake self-entitled moment. You earned, according to your calculations 9265 GE credits in 1 hour. Congratulations a well deserved reward, honestly no sarcasm at all, well done, that is a exceptional hours work. However the attempt to "earn" GE credits for the same hour by opening caches actually earned days if not weeks earlier and get credit for the same hour as your previous legitimate activities is, in my estimation, on par with using cronusmax or hacking. The developers need to remove GE credits from these activity caches and award the GE credits immediately as with normal GE Mission procedures. Imagine if I could collect all the GE Credits from running 50 Lincoln Tunnels in one GE and claim them in the next GE in 1 hour - which essentially what all the Tier 3 leaderboard cheaters are doing. Yes I know I am a cranky old man but come on show some moral and ethical character traits.

    Hoarding caches is common practice since well... the first GE ?

    If it was considered cheating, glicthing or exploiting, the devs would have removed the GE credits from the caches and would have rewarded players with GE credits after a LS, skirmish or survival session.

    Have a similar issue with GE credits not being accurate, opened 85 Survival caches + ran daily HVTs on one character (15450 GE credits) and opened 65 Survival caches on another character (11050 GE credits). Essentially 26500 GE credits in an hour.

    Yet leaderboard shows 15900 GE credits earned. Which doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

    If you switch character the hour restarts, everything has to be earned in the same instance.

    Then it should be 15450 GE credits... not 15900 GE credits.

    Just because it's 'common practice' doesn't make it a legitimate way to collect GE credits.

    Cronus is common too, do you think that's legitimate?

    They should have removed the GE credits from caches, but collecting caches keeps people playing.
    Keeping people grinding seems to be their only goal at this point

    Fallacious arguments for the win
