Well they could add more leaderboard options:
1) Most kills total
2) Most kills this week
3) Most promotions total
3) Most gold medals this week
4) Most treasure room guardians killed this this week
5) Most successful runs this this week
6) Ect..
Then new players actually get a shot at the leaderboard for a week. Thats called motivation instead of a leaderboard they can NEVER get on. (Too little too late)
This too is based on who plays the most during a given period of time. Current leaderboard basically accomplishes the same thing. People who ask for the Leaderboard to be removed are also being foolish because what would a MP board have if not some epeen board?
I would like to see some that people take on as challenges such top 10 of
1. Fastest run clearing all treasure (or not) in each mode routine/threatening/perilous/NM/HB
2. Most Experience generated from the runs in Tevinter/Elven/Orlais/FC Drag/FC no Boss in each mode
3. Fastest Solo Run by Character in each mode
4. Highest Kill Streaks in each mode (to get some competitive blood going)
5. Most Support XP generated Players
Basic Rules:
a. At the end of all runs all players must be standing to have run count
b. Divide by category
b1. Recruit - under 10 Total Promotions
b2. Veterans - Under 150 Total Promotions
b3. Hardcore - Under 300 Total Promotions
b4. Lifers - Over 300 Total promotions
You could even extend out to most poison kills/ most chests opened/most enemies killed etc if the games collects these data. These can be won by players without having to be able to play x-amount during y-period of time.
