"How are they reaching Top 10?" Diablo Immortal players question its broken leaderboard as inactive clans top the charts

sportskeeda.com:

Usually, when "How are they reaching the Top 10?" is asked in the Diablo Immortal Reddit forums, it's usually community members pondering how certain individuals rank high on the leaderboard. However, in this case, things are a little different.

As the saying goes, "You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs". Likewise, it's difficult to have an MMORPG title that's entirely free of problems.

That said, the community has encountered one of the weirdest in-game bugs. While most readers will jump on the bandwagon and presume the issue at hand has something to do with microtransactions or broken items, it's quite the contrary.

According to some players in Diablo Immortal, Shadow Clans that are inactive are somehow managing to reach the Top 10 spot, whereas those actively playing are getting nowhere.

A Reddit user, known as Timely_Country353, shared a thread showcasing how clans that are AFK are somehow managing to reach the Top 10 bracket. This is rather odd as in most MMORPG titles, only clans that are the most active manage to make the cut.

To simplify the issue, it would seem that the system responsible for overseeing clan mechanics in Diablo Immortal is not doing a great job. By the looks of it, whichever clan fails to perform well in the finals is deemed unworthy of being in the Top 10 despite being able to pull their weight.

Inactive/dead clans, on the other hand, that are not performing at all, are elevated to the Top 10 position without question. Here's what user chrisbright123 had to say about the matter at hand:

While this may seem like overreacting, it has to be kept in mind that a lot of players spend real-life money to get ahead in the game. Being finessed by a broken system is the last thing anyone wants.
