FangBlade No Longer Number 1

As for saving the rankings purely so I can go back and see what rank I was, what I accomplished prior to the level cap raise, I guess I can empathize with that more, but still, I can't hang out to that forever. I mean, people, or teams, don't work really hard, then place on some rankings, then stop doing anything forever, yeah? They work and train every year in order to place again, and if they don't continue, then they're just... gone.

Uh, no?
You can look up which song was top of the billboard chart 50 years ago, or which team scored the most home runs 30 seasons ago, or who took the bronze medal on the parallel bars at the Montreal Olympics. Accomplishments of the past don't disappear, they are recorded for posterity. Yes, there's a new ranking out every week, or year, or four years, but they don't wipe out what's already been done.
