Are BG leaderboards pointless?

Is it just me or are battlegrounds leaderboards really just another emperor-like grindfest? Whoever spends most time playing it, ends first, doesn't matter how well he performs.

Any chance that BG leaderboards will be retweaked? (After fixing all the grouping stuff)
Don't know about others but I really miss any truly competitive game mode.

    It's just another thing for PvP folks.

    Not sure if tweaks are needed to the leaderboard but instead the grouping is the issue

    we are MMO players, most of us have allot of time.
    its not like the people in the top 10 of the leaderboards are the only ones.

    Trial (including VMA and DSA) leaderboards are based on the best score earned in given period. Only your best run is counted. You can do just one run per week and be 1st. And that's exactly how BG leaderboards should work if no ranking system is implemented.

    Players asked for small-scale competitive game mode since begining. And we get this emperor-like excrement? Grind race in certain amount of time is not a competitive game mode we asked for. I am glad I didn't buy Morrowind, BGs were huge for me but until it gets ranked treatment it's just a game mode you quickly lose interest in. BGs are great at start but they do not include anything to keep you playing.

    BG are pretty much dead and wasted development time. I was excited for this but base patch + implementation ruined it for me.

    You have to be completely built and geared if you dont want to die in 10 seconds from proc sets. So many changes in game and it all turned out to be even worse now. I will still play them because most of the time I don't have time to spend 1+hrs in Cyrodiil.

    I would prefer some kind of ladder+ranking system for the leaderboard.

    People keep complaining about proc sets... yet, there are ways to counter the proc builds.
