Makes no sense. I am at level 157 with 290 million hunter bucks and currently #62 on the leader boards. I agree they should remove the fake player's from the leader boards.
I started out with 30 million hunter bucks. Bought rifle, assault rifle, and shotgun. Fully upgraded them all and finishex both trophy and standard hunts. I played no contract hunts. When I finished I still only had about 23 million hunter bucks.
