Having a huge lead discourages people from trying to catch up. If the lead were say 200k, 2nd or 3rd people might buy a few more tiers and drag the race even longer

Assuming you buy 1 tier 7 for 200 gems and get 3 valravens, thats 16x4800=76800 pts. 500k pts is only 6.5 purchases, or 1.3k gems. Thats not a lot if you want to chase power orb

Mate, we are talking about wasting resources by having 700k more points than 2nd or 3rd here. Because most probably it will be a lot of gems wasted, as they would possibly have managed it with 100-200k lead in the end, anyway. These are players that spend all their lives into this game, so I doubt they willl take away their eyes from the leaderboard for too long under the event. But as we said before, each to their own. 🤣

A leaderboard chase is, by definition, wasting resources.
Think of it like an auction, where your “bid” is really the gems you spend to obtain sigils from shop tiers. On the auction block: the leaderboard rewards. There are those who say no one “wins” an auction. Why?
The price of an object is subjective. People don’t want to spend more than an object is worth than them. So if you assume the people who _would_ buy a thing are bidding, then the point where the 99% stop bidding is “what people will buy it for”. That leaves one person, the winner, having paid “more than it is worth”. If he wins, then turns around and tries to sell it at a profit, he’ll get zero bids: the only interested buyers just turned down a _lower_ price. So he has to sit on it and wait for desire to meet his investment.
That’s what we have here. Losers 2-5 reckon an orb of power isn’t worth the extra effort to reach even 800,000 points. But Loser 1 is so zealous with greed he’s willing to double the effort.
You know what else he could’ve done? Won by 10%-15%, then used the gems he saved in the next event to hit the next loserboard. But he didn’t. He wanted to show off today. So he’s going to (probably) get the game’s most expensive power orb in history. Yay.

Its 200 gems for Tier 7 in Bounty, meaning for most players, the actual cost is time spent on matches instead of gem cost.
So keeping a lead of 100-200k is really not a reason to back down, since one can easily just do a Tier 7 to catch up for minimal cost.
Somewhere in the 1 million range is around 3k gems spent, which is chump change compared to trying to win Raid/Invasion.
500k lead does 2 things:
1. Buy time to rest if some decides to chase.
2. Tells someone even if you invest time and gems to chase me, that’s just the beginning of the fight. Unless you’re really dedicated to winning, chasing 500k down isn’t the smartest idea, especially in a 3 day event.

I would downvote this post in a heart beat. Congrats on being insulting to players you don’t even know and congrats on not knowing a single thing you’re talking about when it comes to these leaderboards.
You can’t win most of these boards by 10-15% unless you think the opponent has no reason to chase, which is very rarely the case if they’ve invested resources in the race in the first place.
Who do you think you are to determine what people find value in? If somebody finds comfort in going for the leaderboard and earning the reward they get, so be it. As you said, the price of an object is subjective. So what you consider is “wasting resources” can be a fair value to others, especially the power orb for the purpose of crafting Zuul’Goth.
Who cares how someone spends their gems. Its his or her choice.

I don’t “personally” see the value in chasing leaderboards. However, that doesn’t mean that people that do chase them are losers.
Some people think it’s a waste of time to play a match-3 game at all. Yet, I’m sure most of us would disagree. 😛

Tier 7 gets you 10 sigils which equals 20 battles with valravens. 20x4800 is 96000. So basically 100k for every Tier 7.

I was underestimating and taking into accounts bad results (losing a battle or a valraven) to find the max amounts of gems needed to close the gap, which turns out to be not as high as many people think

I bet a lot of those who have posted above think the guy with huge lead has spent like 10k+ gems or something lmao. But actually he’s spent less than 3k which is nothing to someone who has a huge stockpile of gems.
Going for power orb in bounty is actually really smart if you would go for Tier 6 (1000 gems) regardless for all rewards. May as well go for power orb for only an extra 1-2k gems on top of what you would spend anyway. Many would view 1-2k gems as a cheap power orb.

An all bounty team would take forever and you would had lost the majority of matches as well as lost most of the Valravens at battle 20, which your math is based around…
