How do the leaderboard standings work?

Can someone please explain to me how this works? below is a screenshot of Page 1. How can it be that Kazalina, with only 2 matches, both losses, is ranked #13th OVERALL, when someone like Ritalin is ranked #15th overall, with 132 wins and only 27 losses? Further, how can those two at the top ourtrank lantissx (whom I know is an absolute badarse) when he's got 130 matches with a much better record than either of them?

If it's points, is there something underhanded going on to allow Kazalina to get hundreds of thousands of points? I know you can coordinate DOM matches - perhaps that's whats going on? People coordinating DOM matches for the PvP campaign completions?

Does anyone have any insight into how the leaderboard actually works?

    There has to be *some* logic to it... it can't just be random. But, I guess there's no telling. This is a game where someone turning in a quest disconnected everyone in the instance, and where simply joining the instances caused everyone with a particular quest to spontaneously fail it... So I wouldn't make the mistake to assume anything is WAI until... sad state where things are assumed broken until proven to be working instead of the other way around :(

    Xbox is just as bad but we cant sort it so a bunch of people with 20 games played that are barely positive are on top for some reason lol.
    Find me in game if you want and send me a domination/ gaunt invite. If you are good and im not busy ill play with you. Im not an elitist ill play with almost anyone.

    There is supposed to be an ELO ranking system up, but it has not worked in MONTHS. Not to mention ELO was created to rank Chess players throughout the world... in single competition, not during team play. ELO does not work when you have individuals who are working on a PuG team. The ONLY thing that it should be based on is total points in a match... if they are going to use ELO... Points defended, Points rushed and captured.

    I have won 15 matches in a row, where I was the top scorer in most of them with the most kills and assists... and I was on page 800 something, afterwards. I have lost matches and been ranked higher, faster than if I score 6000 points and have 15 kills and won.

    If that is the case... that is broken AF.

    Is ranked based on the enemies you defeat, if you lose a match but kill 1 bis player while you are a pug, you are gonna get sky rocket in leaderboard, in opposite case, if you are a bis and die agains a pug, you are gonna see the last page.

    So how is that person 0 kills on page one?

    Assist, dying to a bis won't make any difference in leaderboard if you are a pug, but an assist or a kill will bring you up really really fast.

    They simply dont care, is more than 1 year that stopped to work. Regarding the NCL, the leaderbord was manually adjusted every 3 or 4 days, so....
