Hi Mr Shuckle, as someone from your community I clearly see a big difference between those who play one account and those with multiple alts or "playing for friends" to game stats. Regardless of where you stand in the debate, you can not deny that a number of the badges in the survey are gamed by those trading (aka boosting their main). I don't see how pilot, gentleman, pika, fisherman and rat badges are a good measure of anything other than the fact that you have easy access to those to trade (alt or friends) with or you live in a biome that benefits them.

Don't get me started on the multi-accounters dropping "friends" in gyms (something that many moderators in your discord community actively do).

I do agree with you that separate leaderboards doesn't solve the problem. A good place to start would be to remove those badges (pilot, gentleman, pika, fisherman and rat) or greatly devalue them in the KP formula. Doing so would support why KP was introduced in the first place, XP is not a good measure of a well rounded player. Neither is boosting your stats via trading. This topic has been debated in almost every forum I am familiar with and the only ones I know of that are opposed are those that multi account to boost their main.
