it doesn't make you better dude lol. The only things a PR does is show OoS who the better performers in this state are. Also depending who you ask, it supposed to encourage players to work hard and challenge/beat those who happen to be on the list(if you're on the list the challenge would be to climb it as well as maintain a spot on it). You essentially do all that anyway though. You shouldn't make let the list seem like this big thing. There's no perks to being on it or anything.
if you think of yourself as a competitive player in this game, you should always be working to place the best your can. This list is nothing but a display recognizing how well some people perform.
