That's because it's March 2nd, right? Don't the scores change on the 1st?

What happens is that the high score tables are reset and cleared out once per month on the 1st. Trophies, however, are given out every single day between 12:15 and 12:19am. The people in the trophy-worthy spots who werent there yesterday will get their trophies at that time. And the people that were already there will get the usual NP reward based on their place.

Hopefully that makes sense. Im not the greatest at explanations.

This makes it more ridiculously easy to obtain trophies.

I heard gold for Mootix Drop was 1000 minimum, and someone received a bronze in Attack of the Gummy Dice with a score of 8.

Last month I was in place for three trophies at the proper 3:40am time, and only then did I realize they'd been awarded hours earlier, and people with absolute beginner scores got gold. Im sure that some of them didnt even realize they were getting trophies, since the scores were so low that anyone trying out unpopular games for the first time could get them. Its like if you want to go for a reset trophy on a long game, skill no longer matters. Its about playing for 15 minutes, and sending some low score in time.

I know! It makes me feel like the few trophies I have that I worked hard for aren't worth as much. I was proud that I could have at least a few trophies on my lookup, but now any skill-less newbie can have as many trophies as me, and I my lookup won't seem even slightly impressive unless I have a zillion trophies.

And even if I did get a whole bunch of trophies gotten on reset nights, I wouldn't feel as proud of them because there was so little challenge. At least before when it was at 3-4 AM there was some challenge, you still had to get a decent score to get a trophy!
