Very confusing!
You cannot trust the point shown on the client. I have 334k on my dashboard by only 240k shown on client. Maybe it is the reason you see a wazer has less points than you but have a shield or sword.

I have the crown - but could care less; my objective is to use Waze as a nav system and do as many nav edits to give back to the community that shares with me!

I feel like it would be more fun if I knew what I was working towards....

Thanks for everyone's help! :geek:
They might be from another state/country where the threshold is lower.

I received my crown, however, I only have 3 stars over my name. Should all my stars be filled since I have my crown? ;)

It depends on the number of users in the country, and the total number of points (also in the country). But there is no accurate data.

The Me tab on your client scoreboard (or here) should tell you how many points you need to get to the next level. (At least it used to). I would not trust the information on the client for other wazers that you get by tapping on them as I have seen all sorts of scores and join dates that make no sense at all based on the icon. The name seems to be right The number of points is based on some percentage of Wazers in your state and recomputed monthly.

I have noticed that the level of royalty is set to the user who obtained the royalty but the level does not change daily. The users' ranks grow but the levels remain. That means: to get the shield you need to have more points than the user who obtained the shield at the moment when he obtained it. The level remains unchanged until the system decides that there are enough users with the royalty and moves the level up to the amount of points of another user. So if you get the royalty and you stop earning points you may be dropped below the threshold and then if you are there too long you may lose the royalty. Pretty complex and inaccurate description but this is my understanding of these rules.

I have noticed that the registration dates are displayed modulo 1 year. That means if the user is displayed as registered 3 months ago, this may mean 3 months ago but also 1 year and 3 months ago, 2 years and 3 months ago, and so on.
