@maiasatara — It is certainly true that the new AB 2 scoring system has pretty well destroyed the usefulness of the ABN leaderboards for most of us. I have stopped paying attention to the ABN leaderboard, since there is no way I am going to replay all the levels.
I don’t know the person in first place, but I do know @wrw01, as likely do you. I also know that all his birds are level 8, and that he is going back and replaying all the old levels to get new high scores. I don’t think you mentioned what level your birds are. However as an example, if your birds are all level 6 and you are playing against wrw01 with all level 8 birds, both with no spells, and you each get the same amount of destruction in each room, then wrw01 would get (7 birds x 8 damage multiplier/bird) = 56 damage multiplier to your (7 x 6) = 42 damage multiplier. So you would expect wrw01’s score to be 56/42 = 1.33 x yours. This neglects the fact that level 8 birds are supposed to do more damage than level 6, so you would expect wrw01 to have higher damage than you.
Some of the rest of your complaint is explained by the fact that your opponent in the arena may be a room or two and a bird or two ahead of you. Another Rovio decision most of us do not like.
I’ve stopped playing the arena to advance in leagues, and I’ve finished all the available levels, so I’m basically in a wait and see mode with AB 2.
