Since I've helped derail the thread enough, I'll focus back on topic too and ask everyone else to do the same:
I too hope no one's losing sleep over the state of minigame leaderboards on MnF, and it really shouldn't be fixed before other issues. But I can understand annoyance at high scores as a result of exploits getting in the way of figuring out how you did compared to other people. Which, yes, has some meaning even if it's so unimportant to me personally that I've consistently forgetten how I did within 5 minutes of playing one of these minigames.

I've never looked at the high scores for the mini games, because it isn't really something I think matters. If somebody wants to have their name at the top of that board, fine, but if they are going to let it bother them that they won't get the personal validation from it ever happening, then I do feel they need a bit of perspective.
Sure, seeing your name at the top of a leaderboard can be nice, but it's still meaningless. As long as inside you know personally that you did well, isn't that what really counts?
I have no issue with people who want to put the effort in to legitimately reach high up on a leaderboard, just to be clear. I just think that there are far bigger and more important things going on, even just in MnF, that are more deserving of people's anger and desire for some form if justice.
