YT and the leaderboard is a bad mechanism to have on this server due to the behavior it causes. People nuking themselves to avoid a YT still boggles my mind to this day and it has happened far too often to count. It also causes a lot of cowardly behavior.
Example being was a Fandango vs. Exed duel that happened yesterday (supposedly to the death) which resulted in the loser zoning running/plugging to avoid a YT... because I guess that means he didn't really lose. All in all, it's pretty pathetic what people will do to avoid a YT. The same thing happened on Tallon Zek when the leaderboards went up where most of the "best" PvPers were just people who ran around with instant gate potions.
I personally view someone with 50 kills and 25 deaths in higher regard than someone with 100 kills and 1-2 death. The latter most likely hunts easy targets and/or corpse camps people who are afk at their bind, a side effect of YT and the leaderboard.
