That will be more accurate than this list but still will have flaws since many people both good and bad refuse to participate in ladders and vice versa.
Only a small fraction of the d2jsp community has the balls to put their reputation on the line even when they know they will lose
These are the people who show up to duels due to the honor of the game and not due to e-pride
These people play for the challenge and not for the fame, they will never be recognized by the community as a *legend*
Because these people embrace losing as well as winning. It's about the challenge and overcomming it, not the fame.
In fact, most of these people are seen as subpar because these are the guys who will publicly show up with character disadvantage simply for the thrill of the fight
And when they lose the match, it's a memorable defeat in everyone's book of fame
All judgement of who is good and who is not is based and compared entirely around these people who actually *show up when challenged* despite character disadvantage
If they did not show up even when they know they will lose, the *best* duelists would never have a match because the *best* duelists only show up when they know they will winMost of the best duelists play a different game than those mentioned above
Sure there are a few exceptions, the few real legends
But most play a game that heavily involves forum politics
Long story short, most of the best and most famed duelists, only show up when they know they will win (to make you look bad)
And do not show up if there is a risk of losing (because this would only inflate the fame of others)
As long as no one sees you lose, you'lll be recognized as tier #1, remember this
