[REJECTED] Add credit ranks and/or wealth rank.

I could not find this suggestion elsewhere so I will bring it up.
Credits rank:
I had in mind this would work like the realm ranks work. The player with most credits is highest, simple.
Wealth rank:
Wealth rank (realms + credits rank) would work as the credit rank, but each of your realms would add 10k or 9k to your wealth rank.
Why this suggestion? In short it is because I like to see progress.
Please post your opinion on pros and cons, and don't forget to vote. If you change your mind you can also re-vote.

Many people have stated in the past that wealth should be a private thing. You can flaunt it or hide it, but regardless no one should brag.
I think credits are hidden for a reason.

What reason might that be?
"I'm so humble, therefore I don't want people to know I have 400k+ credits and 74 realms"?
I don't see why we shouldn't have this implemented. It's a nice way to see how high you rank on the list if you are interested in that, and to see if you wanna compete against the others in having the most wealth ^^

Also, there are people like me who keep a large portion of their funds in high-value steady price items, such as diamonds.

I voted yes to both but only if its optional to show it. I know I wont show it but then maybe the odd time I may.

I choose not to say anything about items due to it would probably make the coding hard.
To Mitchie:
It seems as there is a fair amount of people who does want the keep their wealth a secret. Therefore it could be optional and toggle-able to be shown on the credits/wealth ranks.
Edit: 300th Post,

This is a good idea. It would be nice to see this put in.
Also, what's up the the necro/random post above mine?

Well how do you measure the wealth of certain realms? Someone might only have 4k in the bank and be ranked as a poor plebian, but only because they spent 300k on each of 5 different realms. Furthermore, as someone else previously stated, there is no way to calculate wealth / credits with items hence the whole idea has way to many flaws to prove consistent enough to be ranked.

Yup. You could try to approximate the value of the land a player owns, but realistically the realms at and around spawn are far, far more valuable than the 10K they originally cost to buy from the server.
