Q:
Why no ingame leaderboard?
There was no intake leaderboard for guild wars classic, and the one that existed was primarily for guilds.
There is a good reason why the rating and gains are not shown, it’s to prevent people from complaining that they are losing because of their teammates, so they verbally abuse the presumably lower rated players. This is exactly what happened when ranks used to show at the end of the match.
Also, this game does not charge a subscription. Every time that leaderboard updates, they are paying out of their own pockets for the bandwidth. I’m not saying they are losing money, but they lose significantly less if it updates once per hour instead of every minute.
Are we seriously talking about bandwidth? Then let’s only show your rank and the previous gained or lost points… tadaaa! Like GW1 i cannot mention it to many times!
And the flameing that happens now will not get more i guess if everyone’s rank updates after leaving the match will it?

I would like to know this as well. all this info should be available in game.
I think because the leaderboard is not definitive, so it’s more easy to change a web frontend than an ingame leaderboard.
I really want to know if this is a planned feature of if my hopes are lost on this !
