Who holds the title of top-rated World of Warcraft player globally?
World of Warcraft, a long-standing online role-playing game, still captivates players with its epic battles and relentless competition. First launched in 2004, it continues to thrive with regular updates and expansions.
The question of who's the ultimate World of Warcraft player has been a hot topic for years, but it ain't as simple as picking a name off a list.
The World's Shaolin of WoW
Ranking the best players in World of Warcraft is a daunting task, much like trying to decide on the best bowl of ramen in Tokyo. Nonetheless, the leaderboards provide a glimpse of the top dogs in the realm:
| Player ID | Total Earnings (Game) || --- | --- || 1. Swapxy | $176,924.35 || 2. Fabss | $145,387.44 || 3. Snutz | $119,458.34 || 4. Boetar | $114,874.35 |
The Title that Rules all Titles

Achieving Rank 1 in a PvP Season is the crème de la crème of WoW accomplishments. Prestigious titles can be earned through coaching, the Title Guarantee system, or by creating a new account using a previous season's title.

Now, before you ask, Swifty ain't on the naughty list. Fans have questioned whether his Twitch account is blocked, but but Swifty himself denies it, claiming that he's innocent of the charges.
The Road to Level 70
Got a hankerin' for 70? Expect to spend 2-3 days playing (assuming you take no breaks) to make it happen in WoW Classic. If you're dedicated, it should take around eight days to reach level 70.
Now that we got all that out of the way, you gotta play the game and see for yourself who's the real MVP of WoW arena!
In the realm of World of Warcraft, achievements in sports-like competition are highly valued, similar to the prestige associated with winning a PvP Season or setting records like being the first to reach level 70. For instance, Xenif, a cunning troll Rogue, made history as the first player to conquer level 60, and Hacez, in WoW: The Burning Crusade Classic, was the first to achieve level 70 within 14 hours. Meanwhile, entertainment opportunities also exist within the game, such as coaching, the Title Guarantee system, or even creating a new account using a previous season's title.
