I've been hoping WowInsider would post something alone these lines for quite some time now. My server places way too much stock in Wowjustsu, and it has guilds that somehow have a Malygos kill, without a Saph kill, ranked in the top 5. I only recently discovered Wowprogress, but since doing so, it's all that I use to report our standing to my guild. Rankings are extremely important to any guilds trying to attract strong players. This is a game, and the video game world has been obsessed with high scores and being the best since they were created. Inaccurate reports can seriously hurt recruiting. My only question: Does Wowprogress provide some sort of ranking badge that can be displayed on a website like Wowjutsu does? I've been wanting to ditch it forever but I couldn't find an alternative and my guild wants the ranking there. Wow. Thank you.

My guild is ranked 1st on realm but we only formed 3 weeks ago and although we cleared all content, we have fewer achievements than the should-be 1st guild.

They track through achievements because many of the achievements are now relative, and it's actually fairly easy to sort through them. You can even check who was first to accomplish such achievement. Now, surely, some achievements are rather irrelevant, but then most of them do not affect a guild's ranking. But they are also working on a system that quantifies the value of each one and places them on a <i>separate</i> ranking system. http://blog.wowprogress.com/2009/01/02/more-ratings/ It's still a work in progress, so it's not included in the primary rankings right now. And he has stated the achievement rankings will work alongside major progress rankings. But it does quantify various achievements with a weighted value and is intelligent enough (now) to actually replace the "easier modes" of a various encounter with the hard modes. That way skipping Assist and Duo to complete Twilight Zone earlier doesn't have any negative ramification on a guild's ranking. That said, I do disagree with giving some achievements a value. Arachnophobia? Momma Said Knock You Out? Hundred Club? Just Can't Get Enough? Pfft. The problem I have with Guild Ox is that it simply gives each achievement a value of one, when clearly there are some which should be weighted higher or lower than others. I like WoWProgress for the detail and attention its administrator pays to the site. I don’t really see what’s so jumbled about WoWProgress.

They're nothing compared to what they were tbc. They don't update correctly at all. It seems if you didn't make a world first kill your guild doesn't get any attention at all. I've had to email them countless times and they've yet to respond to me or update my guild's progress. I don't care for wow-progress either. It tracks through achievements and just looks all jumbled. They need to tune it up just a bit imo I’m not gonna lie, jutsu’s been pissing me off A LOT lately. They’re nothing compared to what they were tbc. They don’t update correctly at all.

You are looking for a raiding guild on another realm, or perhaps even your own. Are you going to bother applying for the 4th ranked guild when both 1 and 2 are looking for the exact same class/spec and you fit their basic requirements? @Person
