I think there is, at least in sPvP. Players will play against more than 3 people.

sPvP leaderboards are completely useless since they are all personal. You can not say that whoever is r1 is actually the best player. It's possible (and probable) that other people in the team simply faced harder opponents when playing without that person. This means that the meaningful comparison you're looking for flies straight out of the window.
Again, I don't see your point...
Turshija released a searchable implementation of the leaderboard: http://www.gwshack.info
It's still in development, for details see https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/foru.../first#content
Hmmm thought I had a shot at top 1000 for achievement points... nope. Guess I missed the dailies too often.
I don't really see the point of achievement leaderboards. I do think it's kind of funny that dailies are considered such an issue when really unless you're an active PvE and PvPer I'm assuming you have no chance at making that board. I've done every PvE daily plus all non-dungeon PvE content and I'm still -1000 achievement points from making that list. (Not that I care since there's no purpose to it.)
I get why people are upset about dailies having such an impact and more than likely they'll end up rectifying that, I just think unless someone's the type to partake of everything in the game they had no chance regardless of daily participation.
Well I've been on holidays (and a ban recently) and had the regular work/school issues and I'm still on the leaderboard. (even though I didn't bother with dailies in the start, and never bothered with the PvP daily at all.
But tbh the big issue is that people who actively "hunt" achievements find it anoying that someone who just logs in every day and does two dailies already has (over) half of the achievement points needed to get on the leaderboard with the difference that the achievement points those people have are lost/unattainable while the other way around this isn't true.
Basically it feels like "hunters" get punished in the long run.
Hey, look, I'm actually on there if it's filtered by server, says 90%. o_O I don't know what that means!
There was an interesting Guildcast I caught on the train to work today. They covered the leader boards and overall "meh-ness" of it all.

Didn't have time to finish the episode before work.
Audio quality is bad on this podcast, I hate the static/crackling.
Regarding PvP rankings etc I don't get why they don't use a simple ELO rating, it can't be that hard...
I think that girl rlly said it well: "hey pvpers we're starting to care now, please love us" ~A-net
Yes.
