As we all know, WOL hasn’t been updated this tier at all, and there’s absolutely no control going on with any of the parses uploaded. Looking at the top ranks, lots of them are due to 40 second snapshots of fights under bloodlust, and no one can compete with people being jerks and uploading stuff like that, which in turn kind of invalidates the “validity” of the ranking page. For example, I’m being beat to rank 1 juggernaut by almost 50K, because of a log that lasts 45 seconds and is clearly not valid:
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/2u10qli9f4f7n1f2/sum/healingDone/?s=5140&e=5185#Vlasin
That one bugged log alone is taking up rank 1 Juggernaut for Mistweaver, holy paladins and disc priests. And it’s obviously far from the only one (another example - http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/pk0iqpmaapilexdo/sum/healingDone/?s=2636&e=2721#Farlap here’s the rank 1 resto druid tracked with 390K hps from a bugged log. This is more than 100K more than the best resto druid otherwise tracked).
I could keep digging through logs and finding examples, but it seems redundant. We all know WoL is a useless tool compared to WCL, which is actually being updated (and the developer communicates with the user base). Heck, the developer even recently put in something that nulls hunter stampede exploit parses (something that WoL tried, but failed, except with very, very few specific buffs such as the plague hound).
So - isn’t it about time we let WoL die, and stop parsing ranks from it? WoL does absolutely nothing that WCL can not do at this point, and if people haven’t made the transistion yet, they probably won’t care about the ranks either.
