100k 3 years ago isn't same as 100k in 2016.
^because 3 years ago there were only 1500 daily players, vs. 4000 daily players in 2016
that's why we care about the seasonal leaderboard much more. they move along with the time

60,000+ PKs is a milestone on it's own though, without the need of a trophy...
What I'm saying is that the actual stat IS the trophy in itself. If you struggled and made your way up to earn high numbers like that, the number itself would be much more meaningful to you then some trophy.

True true, but you can't deny that having a mount exclusive for your stats is aswell rewarding and satisfactory, maybe not to you, but for many ambitious players

They should implement the Lifetime leaderboard again, to see who is the top of tops, even if they quit. I remember Shinta being the spotlight in like 2011. I would like to see those old faces one more time

true, but I want lifetime leaderboard in some places like Library. Where we can go and scroll, check out their profiles.
but daily/month/seasonal leaderboard is perfect imo.

That would be awesome.

I am not saying daily-seasonal are bad, I just disagree with removing the lifetime one.  

You'll find 95% of sparrers like the new system , they didn't lose anything , it's just an addition for them.
For pkers it's removal of recognition and motivation to pk , as most people can't be on enough to get high on new leaderboard. Don't think people understand 95% of us pkers (apart from the ones who joined last year) pked to get a place in top 100 and climb it. Way more competitive overall than this new one where someone runs away with it by account sharing *cough sky cough* or by killing noobs that are farming. These ppl now are represented as the best pkers lol. Can't speak for everyone but most proven pkers would agree with me. Nowadays u need 3 months of no school or work etc to get top for pks. If you go on a week or 2 holiday during those 3 months then your "work" is for nothing

These leaderboards have nothing to do with quality , except maybe spar cuz of the ratio*10 point system  

I say we just make Graal Classic a socialist game where everyone gets a trophy and a pat on the back after each season. Then we can make sure every 12 year old child feels good about themselves in the pixelated universe.  

I like this idea, gives new players incentive to play for longer periods of time  

Pkers or sparrers don't need rewards, most do because they actually like doing.besides there used to be a pk reward room that got scrapped? not that anything in there was pk related anyway also sparrers had spar hats at certain amount think they scrapped that aswell.  

I remember when PKing was pretty much just to harass people.  

my reward is the blood of my enemies.  

Give everyone a participation ribbon entitled "nice try noob, better luck next time".

That's how it's supposed to be.

Meh, I don't feel I need any rewards. I would much rather kill for the love of the activity than for some petty hat. I've been #5 for most of this season(will probably end as 6 or 7? Mob users gunna pass me) and I wouldn't care if I got any rewards. I never have done it for rewards.

If you can't even motivate yourself to do an activity, so much so that reward becomes necessary, you should not be doing that activity. In my opinion it wouldn't be satisfying. As Zet brought up earlier in this thread, activities change in how easy they are. If someone like Xenthic was to be given all the pks he, theoretically, missed out because he pked between when the server was younger, I can assure you he would probably be around 1.2 million.

Pks are being devalued, you can get them quicker now than at any point in the servers history. That is why, I believe, we have the leaderboard we have now. It does not suffer from the devaluing of pks, no matter how quick pks become it will always be able to accurately represent. Milestone hats will not achieve this. Back in 2011-2012 getting 100k was an absolute grind. Now, you can get 100k in less than a year, easily.

Hell, next season because of the blob and the mobs It creates, I wouldn't be surprised if I place in the 20's-40's.

All time records will never be part of the Leaderboards.

 

Already have rewards... Probably an achievement system coming somewhere along the line, has been discussed, would incorporate milestone stuff
