Personally however someone gains points is their business. I like selecting random and trying each track that comes up. That is fun for me, if there is no time listed I try to beat the author time, if there are times listed whether online or offline if those times beat the author time, I try for that.
I don't care what track is popular or if 1000 people have records on it. I upload my time and the points I get are what they are. I am not out to be #1 on the LB but if having fun gets me there then that is a plus.
If a person don't like the points I have because they are on tracks no one cares about, that seems to be their problem, certainly isn't mine.
