I believe the comparison stands because it *is* still a leaderboard, and it does not show the entire playerbase on it, just those who have cleared the content. To translate it a bit: "Look this loser is only number 12 lol"
But that site does allow you to look someone up by name, regardless of their ranking. If you had a lot of time, or a good robot, you could easily organize the data in a list of the top X scores out of X--that is, everyone--and see in what percentile they fall for their job in a particular bit of content, therefore allowing public shaming.

PotD just says, "Here are the top 100 scores out of X participants."


In the context of parsing just your party or alliance, the parser gives a complete ranking top 8 of 8 or top 24 of 24, allowing you to look for a particular member's score and shame him for his performance. If it were comparable to PotD rankings, you would only see who ranked #1 (or perhaps 1-3 in an alliance), and you would have no information about the rest of the group.




In case it's not clear, I'm not saying "Let's do this." I'm only saying, "If we displayed parse results in a manner more simmilar to the Palace rankings, it would look more like this."
