PvP Leaderboards
Just curious as to what the overall opinions and thoughts of Leaderboards are.
On one hand, I don't mind them and think it's a great way to track stats. On the other hand, I don't care for what they promote at all and have never taken them seriously. Every game I've ever played with leaderboards suffered from it being a flawed system due to boosting or exploiting. Here it promotes bind/corpse camping/griefing for leaderboard ranks. I just started playing here again recently and watched an Enchanter die in PvP to a PK twink and then on his CR/LNS he was cc'd 3x straight by the same twink. Also died an xp death once. Dude didn't ragequit or whine or anything, just sucks he wasted that much time from being griefed. Come to find out the PK was "atop the pvp leaderboards". I just find these things to be counter productive to a server more than anything. Clearly the SK twink wants an easy playing field and rightfully so, the game allows for that, but at the same time, how hard is it to just kill your targets and then carry on. Why make it a point to be a douche nozzle. Surely this sort of thing happens without leaderboards, but is it commonplace now for this type of behavior with it being in place? | ||

First of all, I love the insult "douche nozzle" it just rolls right off the tongue.
I personally find the leaderboards to be a useful tool in determining a person's history, habits, gear level, and gauging the likelihood that said person will attack me. There are, however, ways to exploit the leaderboards. They are also un-bracketed, which allows a twink preying on lowbies to out rank some of the best level 60 PvPers. All things considered, I take rankings and ratios with a grain of salt, these can fluctuate wildly for the better or worse in a matter of days with just a bit of good/bad luck.

Is there someone or a link that explains the rules of the leaderboards? I'm not familiar with them. This is not an attempt to get rid of the leaderboards or anything by the way. I'd rather them exist than not, but for the right reasons and not to promote griefing solely based on the need to be atop the rankings.
