Leaderboards Suggestion

I don't know how to describe the kind of leader board I want, but it'd be more of a tracking leader board where player's scores can fluctuate. For instance, in my current project I want to have a leader board reflecting how many credits each player has. Instead of this being a static value it fluctuates and the player rank should fluctuate with this value. (I only submit this at game start to minimize requests.) For instance, the player may initially have 50 credits, and then they will purchase something from the game's store (not IAP) and end up with 45. I want a leader board which would show that they may have dropped from 1st with 50 to 3rd with 45 (and the new 1st is 49 and the new 2nd is 46.) So, I guess it'd be more of a tracking leader board instead of a high-scores leader board which is all GC has right now. Any feedback from Amazon would be appreciated. Thank you,

I suppose I should have specified this is a question about any plans to improve the functionality and features of GameCircle on Amazon's part?

Hi Joe T, As you mentioned, the leaderboard api is designed to make it easy to move in one direction. If I understand your meaning - you are looking for the ability to increase and decrease the value. This is a great suggestion I will forward it to the GameCircle team to take a look.
