But if you type the command /leaderboards you get it for other games like Skywars and treasure wars which are both arguable more competitive

you’re just reinforcing my point (idk what your saying but I’m all for api and lbs in bridge)

Bump. I seriously don’t get why this is not already a thing in Bridge. The whole “toxicity” thing just sounds like an excuse and as others have mentioned nobody gets toxic over stats/leaderboards in other gamemodes such as tw and sw

Seriously, there are already unofficial win streak and speedrun leaderboards and people aren’t toxic about those, please just make it official already.

Bump, because this would be a w thing, and it should already be a thing

Even if they add bridge to the api, they don’t technically have to make a leaderboard for it. If their reason for not adding it is toxicity, just don’t add a leaderboard. (Although I would still love a bridge leaderboard.)

Apparently Hive has a good reason:
Edit:
wow the forums are usually more active then this.

But all of the other games have stats and those aren’t very toxic. Bridge is also the only game with a ranking system, making it more like ranked skywars already. Oh… ok yeah I see what you mean now.

This was from quite a while ago for ranked skywars and my opinions on it has changed. I don’t think ranked skywars (with leaderboards) will make it toxic if there isn’t some super big reward for getting ‘x’ spot on the leaderboard. Generally with more experience and time, thoughts on the majority of my posts on the forums have differed
Perhaps an exclusive costume could make players want to play ranked but not have such a competitve reward?

Surprised this is still getting traction. I talked with a Hive Moderator to confirm I knew exactly what I was fighting against — toxicity. Anyways, I have read through everything, seeing the discussion and I can agree on a few points.
• How could having your stats on the api cause any more toxicity than the game already has?
The game itself is what makes people toxic, honestly every game is toxic, but having an api for stats and a leaderboard isn’t going to affect that, you can see how stats and leaderboards affected the level of toxicity in other gamemodes and it didn’t change, because you can only be toxic about the game and not the stats.
• Ranked skywars on hypixel being toxic.
Any ranked gamemode is bound to be toxic, though a ranked gamemode is essentially a gamemode with a leaderboard already, given that people already would know where they lie in position and already know their stats and could compare them to other players easily, so I don’t personally see how the api would change anything in that respective.
• Leaderboards didn’t make other gamemodes any more toxic.
You could probably agree that the Treasure Wars and maybe SkyWars communities are toxic in general, Leaderboards and stats on thr api didn’t change that. I feel like I will say this a lot, but toxicity comes from the game they’re playing and not some numbers on a screen showing how good or bad their stats are and how these stats rank in comparison to other users.
• Leaderboards promote cheating
If they promoted cheating, then every gamemode should be filled with cheaters, right? You’d be right, every gamemode is filled with cheaters, but the majority of cheaters don’t play hoping to get to #1 on a leaderboard, seeing as 99% of them are banned before thet could even get close. There were already cheaters in every gamemode, a leaderboard and stats wont change that.
I would be happy to see a Hive staff member answer any of these points, the main point being that the gamemodes themselves are toxic and having access to stats and leaderboard position wouldn’t make it anymore toxic.

It’s unfortunate to say the least however I’ve spoken to people myself regarding this suggestion and toxicity is the pure reason as to why this will not be implemented anytime soon. Personally, toxicity exists everything and not having bridge leaderboards for that reason seems silly because any gamemode can be competitive and not just bridge.
There’s not much to add to this suggestion other than getting a staff’s attention into this - Hopefully @Splodg3r 
and possibly resolve this suggestion one set for all if Hive ever decides to implement this suggestion or not.
Most of us think that this won’t cause toxicity so I believe that this suggestion should be implemented and if there is any toxicity, this can always be reverted. I would like you to kindly consider this suggestion Hive Team

The implementation of a monthly leaderboard for hide and seek has made the game mode noticeably more sweaty, and I can imagine that adding bridge to the api would have a similar result. A leaderboard encourages people who have already maxed the game to continue playing but not just for fun, so you incentivize the really good players to keep sweating at the game (and they play the most out of everyone too) which makes the game more sweaty in general.
I’m not saying that making the game sweatier is inherently a bad thing, because sbmm protects noobs from ultra sweaty tryhards to some extent, but it’s still something to keep in mind.

You make a very good point, AnAbsurdlyAbnormallyAbominallyAtrociouslyLongName.

I still think they could add it to the api without adding a leaderboard. Adding bridge to the api but not to the leaderboards would dodge the toxicity and sweat problem (for the most part) while also letting us see our stats.

that sounds like a wonderful idea

Honestly I’m down for adding stats to the api without the leaderboard. As we can see, the leaderboard is obviously the main focal point when talking about how adding bridge to the api could increase toxicity. Adding stats at the very least would help us in the development of our discord bot as well… which the hive owners and staff seem to have noticed by now

Bump I got excited for a second, only for my dreams to be crushed.
They updated the api WITHOUT ADDING BRIDGE.
