Do the Leaderboards Matter to You?

[Captain Del]

A few years ago, the Leaderboards always seemed to be a pretty big deal in game. Most people were usually caught up in who passed who, who killed how many enemies, and so forth. And noticing there isn't as much of a buzz over the boards as there used to be, one must ask, do the Leaderboards still matter?

After countless breaks and unpredictability in the numbers, many pirates hung up their cutlasses and staffs for the moment and took a break from ranking. And now that it appears they are functional once more, we are left to speculate it the "Boards Buzz" will return once again.

On top of this, there is always a debate between people as to whether statistics on the boards actually lie in a guild's success. Whether you may or may not believe being on the boards makes a guild "stronger" or "better" than another, it doesn't so much rely on the talk as it does in the proof.

So, I ask you all, do the leaderboards matter to you?

NOTE: Please do not turn this in to a personal debate over specific guilds. This is meant to be taken as a survey, NOT as something to spark a "Whose Better" debate.
