@rovionefuah — Thanks for checking it. I do understand it takes time to get answers.
However, as the chief impatient person, what I’m looking for is some indication that you and Rovio understand why the “ghost” players are a problem, and that Rovio is actively trying to fix this problem. So far all you’ve said is that Rovio did this on purpose, and that it does not affect the outcome of the Arena leagues. You did say improving this is possibly going to be done in the future. This gives the impression that Rovio does not understand what the problem is, and that fixing it is a low priority.
To quote your words: “We know that some players are appearing on multiple leaderboards in the Arena leagues. The reason this is happening is because it is a fallback method for building leaderboards when the game is otherwise not able to build a fully populated … leaderboard. …. We know it’s not ideal, but it does not affect the outcome of your Arena league.”
Perhaps explaining why you claim it does not affect the outcome of the league would help. As it is, people think that the “ghosts” frequently occupy the top spots in the league and therefore prevent legitimate players from advancing. Even if the ghosts are deleted (unbeknownst to the other players) before the results are calculated, their presence can discourage others from trying to reach the top.
