Yep.

List of things off the top of my head why leaderboards are dumb:

1. Good luck getting kill shots on ench, shm, cleric, paladin, ranger, etc, at least relative to disc'ing rog/monks, wizards, SKs harm touching and so on.
2. No reasonable way to track assists.
3. No reasonable way to track naked/bind kills, people afk, people disconnected, etc.
4. Never has and never will be a measure of any sort of skill but some 'tards will treat it as such.

The beauty of EQ PVP is the ability to fight over something meaningful. Leaderboards pretty much enforce the exact opposite - low risk gank squads porting all over picking people off running to the bank or exp'ing.
Never seen someone sound so blue in a post where they're trying to talk about pvp
