I'm absolutely not saying that there should be seperated leaderboards, I'd be against that even. A little text saying "inactive" or a little icon which symbolizes "inactivity" etc. would be enough. I thought that it might be interesting to see who hasn't played in a while - not just for veterans, but also for new players who have never seen any of the names suddenly popping up on the list and are too lazy to click themselves through every profile to check whether these people haven't played in a while or not (especially those having a higher rank than said user). It'd also prevent new players from getting a false picture of the website where everybody who is on the leaderboard automatically still plays the game or something...

On the other hand it's controversial, I agree with that. It's not really needed in a list representing the skill of players, no matter when they played and if they still play.

It was a thought I had which I wouldn't mind seeing on the leaderboards personally, but of course it's up to the others and the devs
