Rezon pretty much explained the myth about "selective sparring" and getting leaderboard points for it so I'll pass on that, but a leaderboard based on daily wins is just stupid to me. It's no different than what the PKing board offers and doesn't really reflect any level of skill at all, and it should because sparring is one of the few things on that game that leaves room for that.

I'm still pretty convinced that this leaderboard model is better than anything else I've read about or thought of, but I just don't see administrators changing it any time soon. It just makes more sense to me to have a leaderboard for sparring that rewards players for sparring the better sparrers and winning against them more often than just having a leaderboard that says who won the most times in a day.

Your suggestion would honestly make the system even more skewed, as players would hop rooms more to face easier opponents.

100% agreed, because on a "most wins" leaderboard there is absolutely zero risk for this selective sparring that you're talking about. On the current leaderboard, there is.
Again though, there's nothing wrong with the current leaderboard system itself. The problem is the people who abuse it and exploit it. The PC leaderboard has been really clean example for a long time.
