I was in the top 100 for about 2 hours. Thats only because i set my barracks up and got my first 9 spears out, i've been farming and building troops since then. now i'm a solid 4k XD
Seriously though, I really think we should wait a few days before these really take ahold as if you go for a few hours without a sitter or farming you can drop 100+ ranks easily.
to put this in to perspective, now we are a couple of days in, the people at the top aren't neccaserily point whores, most of them probably are, but not all you will see a change soon. If you are in the top 5000 you are special, but not very uber spectactularly special.
