Personally, I find it amusing that folk want to keep historical top "xxx" lists ...
Imagine the following scenario ..
New player creates account. Finds his way around for a few days. Spots the "top xyz" lists and checks them out... All of them are full of inactive players. Now, what does that say to him about the game ? - that all the best players (according to the historical listings) have left the game for some reason. So, he thinks, why should I bother sticking around - there's obviously some reason all these players have quit ...
Now, dynamic "top xyz" listings would have the opposite effect .. Not only would they show that all players on said listings are still active and involved in the game (and thus it's still alive and kicking), but that the listings are more spread out, level wise - for instance ...
"Top Kill Streak" :- 4 of the top 10 are inactive ..
"Top 250 Bounty Hunters" :- 2 of the top 10, inactive with a 3rd almost (currently) inactive
"PvP Smasher" :- 2 outta the top 10, inactive
"Top 250 Richest Players" :- 2 outta the top 10, inactive
"PvP Arena Champions" :- 5 outta the top 10, inactive - including the top 3 !
Top rated listings need to be a "CURRENT" representation of the game, not a "HISTORICAL" one - keep a historical one as well, by all means, but have the current one be the default view.
