Maybe its an idea to be implemented into GW2 while its in developing stages.

While I also think it would be cool for GW, they wouldn't have to update it daily. As trivial as it is, you could update partial stats for each piece maybe a couple times per month. Spread out you could still get the same idea, without much server load.

It would also have to either restrict the display to single accounts or denote when a players has the title accross multiple chars.

There are more than a few people with KOBD on every char simply because they have 5 of the account wide titles maxed.

All that said I would like to know just how many God Among Mortals there are out there...

A "PvE Player's Ladder" would be nice, like what they are doing here.

A list of all the players who have achieved God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals.

If Guild Wars does this, then the game is officially dead.
That would mean whoever spends the most time grinding titles gets recognized. Yay. This should never be the case. PvP is much more competitive than PvE, and will continue to be. If there is a "PvE ladder", Guild Wars will lose almost all support from its PvP community, and Guild Wars 2's "competitive side" will be almost entirely inactive.

There can never be a PvE ladder. What would be a good idea, though, is a PvP individuals ladder, where individuals can view their own stats and see what games they have won in which guilds, etc.

there is no PvP without PvE players

There are far more urgent issues to worry about.

And why has this thread not been banished to Sardelac yet?

Displaying player names on a website that gets visited thousand~ times a day? The #1 player would probably get spammed with PMs, and maybe even have his/her account hacked.

GWChars.de does the job, player made though.

Abedeus · May 29, 2008, 02:42 PM // 14:42

Yeah, because everyone can read and use German perfectly.

sql query it's founded on the structure of the database.

If the table has this structure you need a query how read the needed title_id for KOABD in case if title_rang => 5.
If you like it more excat, you need more querys like this ... if title_rang => 5 and title_rang < 10,
title_rang => 10 and title_rang < 15 etc.

Try it and you will it realize. And for the first run you need a sql query, later you can maybe it realize
with a simple counter.

Actually I wrote that in Java. Yes, no one knows what exactly the database looks like, but honestly, think about this logically. What's the likelihood they don't have a way to access all the variables on a character? What's the likelihood they don't have a way to grab that data?

Yes, I'm well aware of how a SQL database works. I work with one everyday. You can go on about tables and access data as much as you'd like, but at the end of the day it's all variables, and variables need to be accessed, can be counted, can be added, and can be manipulated. You've also made the mistake of assuming they use a mySQL database for GW, which I don't see where you could draw that assumption.
