Just my 2 cents,
Is it an Idea that machine loose points how longer there are active so if you own a box in Week 1 you get 20 points and you hold 20 points until it retires.
If you own it after 2 weeks you get let’s say 15 points and you hold 15 points until it retires.
If you own it after 3 weeks you get let’s say 10 points and you hold 10 points until it retires.
So if there are a lot of spoilers you still get the points but not all the original points.
I don’t agree. Not everyone is using spoilers and not everyone has time to work on a machine on the same day it is released.
There are users joining this community everyday, why would you disallow them to get the maximum points?
I would prefer to get skills than points
Thats also true @peek.
The points make the platform a bit more fun and more challenge is available thanks to them 
To get the points you need skills.
To get skills you don’t need points. That’s why retired machines give you 0.
@Uriel i mean some boxes are really CTF and less realist. You improve your CTF skills not realist skills.
Sure thing @peek, totally agree. This is exactly what we all signed for.
Main page:
“Hack The Box (…) contains several challenges that are constantly updated. Some of them simulating real world scenarios and some of them leaning more towards a CTF style of challenge.”
I learn a lot from everything that is on Hackthebox, but I also like the leaderboard, and the progress percentage.
