I was under the impression that there was an intermediary rank between 10k and 30k (like maybe 20k), hence the use of "dramatically".Jellby wrote: ↑29 August 2026, 20:40 It doesn't need to be "so dramatically". It could be something like this (made up numbers):
If the game has 1000 players or more over the last 30 days, award 30k, if it has less than 1000, award 10k.
Now that particular game could have around 1000 players. Maybe it was 998 when the first player got the trophy, it was 1001 when the second one did, and it was 999 when the third one did.
But if those ranks are consecutive, then like you say all it would take is one player above or below the threshold to observe this difference. So in that case no need to imagine huge swings in popularity.
