Then I wonder, why would someone want to cheat to get, not just a top score (we can use the ego excuse above), but clone their account to occupy many Group A spots. Even less than for a WTT, the reward for high OMP scores is pitiful. Even if you had 10 high scores, the reward is hardly worth the effort. You'd only need one top score to satisfy that ego thing... so... why?

Frankly, I find myself believing the reason is the very childish idea of simply {swear}ing with everyone else. It's a middle finger to legit players and everyone who is "knocking" those types of "jerks" for their bad behavior. Paraphrasing, some people cheat just to watch the leaderboard burn. And/or "Haha look at me, I can do this and you can't stop me!" As childish and immature and seemingly useless as that sounds, there are some who get off on the idea.

Sorry for the wall of text. Typing on mobile in a rush so please excuse typos. Great question DiB and well thought out explanations. If I may offer an answer as to why,, it's because this is all those losers have. As pitiful as that may be, I truly believe they have absolutely nothing else in their lives. Nothing to contribute to society, no real lives,,, nothing. JMO
