The rankings in guild lists would be wonderful, as would search capabilities.. However, if you spot someone in the wild that you can attack, there are no ways of checking their stats unless you whisper them (by which they'd clue in and prob leave unless they were afk), or search for their name one page at a time on rankings. I know from personal experience that I would have held back quite a few attacks, had I known their power level, or attacked some people had I known they were easy to kill. It's not silly, which is why they took away the ability to check a person's power in the wild by replacing it with the crossed swords.
