Using the GW2 leaderboard data at gwshackinfo.com, I put together some spreadsheets to come up with the following (meaningless) stats about achievements. (Keep in mind, this applies only to the top 1,000 players and is based on data from ~16:15 UTC 11 Apr, i.e. Thursday.)

  • EU average = 6,704 | US average = 6,316
  • Top EU server: Dzag @6,822. Top US: Eredon @6,517
  • Best WvW vs highest achievement averages
    • Two of the US T1 WvW worlds (Blackgate & Sanctum of Rall) are among the bottom half for achievement point averages. JQ is #5.
    • Similarly, two of the EU T1 WvW worlds (Des & Seafarer) are in the bottom half of achievement point averages (albeit at the top of that). Dzag has the highest average.
  • Best WvW vs most players in top 1,000:
    • In the US, the T1 WvW servers also have the most players in the top 1,000 for achievement totals.
    • For EU, Seafarer & Des are third and sixth in total number of players in the top 1,000. However, Dzag is the bottom six (for total # of players in the top 1,000 achievement scores).
  • Total number of players in the top 1,000:
    • US: JQ (138) with the next closest at 91 (Sanctum) and 81 (BG). Six servers account for half the players in the top 1,000.
    • EU: Viz Square (87), with Baruch and Seafarer close (86). Seven servers cover half the players in the top 1,000.
