Guild Wars 2

I’d like to see the leaderboards turned in to opt-in only. Although many clearly enjoy competition in PvE, I do not and I’d like to be able to choose whether to participate in this meta game.

Also, I’d prefer not to seem my account name (and success level) on a public site — at least, hide the site behind a login. While hackers using stolen accounts would still have access, I don’t see any reason why we should make it easy for the unscrupulous by giving them a handy list of valid account names, sorted so that the first names are those most likely to have loot worth stealing.

Ye, but they still havent got your mail – which is more important thing to hide. Name shouldnt be something, whats need to be hided. Look at this forum – id is visible. Do not get paranoid.

I don’t want to compete for PvE — in my opinion, it should be strictly cooperative in contrast to WvW and sPvP which are competitive game modes.

(And of course, the email address is more important than the userID, but that isn’t my point. UserIDs are one of the things that ANet asks for when a player claims their account was stolen — I don’t see why we should make it easy for anyone seeking potential accounts.)

I totally agree with this for PvE. I’m not interested in this sort of competing, so at least let me decide if my name is on that leaderboard or not.

Your player ID can be aquired in the game by simply adding that person as a friend. If you don’t want to compete then don’t. Just play the game, enjoy your self, worrying about weather your on the top 100 players in the NA or EU shouldn’t be any worry of yours if your not worried about being on top. Just not sure how a PvE Leader board affects a player like your self.

I don’t see how PvE needs this sort of leaderboard. But if they do implement it, they should just make it optional.
