This post was cursed after someone put the word 'petition' in the title - Sapience once said that they just ignored these (I'd find the quote to link to you all, but just take my word for it).

That said, I fervently support this idea - the leaderboards really give a sense of achievement to pvmp, especially when you begin to get into the higher ranks and it becomes a bit of a grind - while I've nothing higher than r7, I know many of my kinnies fervently study these boards, through the blackappendage site (which I know isn't supported by Turbine), and this keeps them coming back to the Moors, and keeps them paying VIP. The leaderboards are an essential part of the Ettenmoors experience, and it would be a great shame to see them go.
