I really hope leader boards are not the reason why fixes would be delayed. Last I checked, I did up to weave 60 with randoms and I was ranked around 400 in the world. That should give a clear indication of how many people actually play weaves. There’s less than 60 people in the entire world who have even got to weave 120 lol. And less than 40 who have passed it when you take out all the cheaters.
As for the tOp SeCrEt DiScOrD, again, no one asked for this 
no one even knew about leader boards or what the weaves really were until right around the beta test. At which point some people have been trying to help balance it and pointing out bugs. The rest didn’t even care and went back to normal adventure maps. I think I did maybe 10 weaves in the beta during that month and spent my other 90 hours in adventure maps, testing Cata and pointing out bugs there. I just find it funny that you’re still pushing the FS did this for the elite players when only around 10 of them even bothered to do weaves up to 120.
