[Feedback] Now that we have family wide lifeskill levels, how about some server/region wide rankings?

Suggestions/Comments: Now that we have both family wide lifeskill levels so that people's total experience isn't split among characters and increased level caps which are effectively impossible to reach (Thus no more RNG rolls between capped players to see who gets the icons), how about getting some server wide rankings?

Top 5 ranking icons are nice and all, but thats the use of having a gold icon above your head if there are potentially upto 44 other players in the other channels with the same icon who are higher then you? How about an additional tab where instead of showing the top 30 ranked people in your channel, it scrapes the results from all the channels and shows you the top 30 ranked people on the server/region. Give the top 5 people icons like 'normal' but make them stand out a bit more in fun visual manner or something. Maybe throw in a title or effect or something that you only get to wear/use if you have one of the top spots.

Really though, it'd just be cool to know exactly where you stand on the server plus it would give people a reason to chase higher levels.

Since there is no mechanical bonus to going over G50 and reaching the cap is an effective impossibility there isn't any enthusiasm in the community to even bothering raising lifeskill levels after that point. We use to have a public spreadsheet that would keep track of everyone's levels by scraping it data from the website that fostered a lot of community involvement and competition but that died a few months back when your website changes made it too hard to get the data. I would be nice to have something similar in game to bring some of that desire to play the game back.
