3k in new Events

How many are achieving(or seeing) 1st place tier for the new events? Personally, I have only seen 3 people get over 3k, and 2 of them were myself....and it was a grind without buying boosters. With them just taking away the multiplier for coins on express orders, I'd have to believe it will be a rather rare achievement. I was almost cool with the game again, allowing bonuses for the play to win crowd...but it seems they have once again pulled that rug

Thoughts?
