The idea is to be REWARD-driven, not STRESS-driven... Imagine how you feel when you suddenly get kicked below top 10 on the very last day!
The achievements are the reward driven content. Leaderboards are always competitive and therefore a source of stress if you're not the type of person driven by competition (I know I'm not).

I'm not going to worry about my ranking this first time around. Let all the competitive people push to be in the top 12. I plan to enjoy the content for now and get my rewards in a later ranking period.
