Arcturus, do you have plans to keep the trophy league going into PS4's generation?

I don't have any plans to stop updating the league. However, updating the league eats up most of the free time I have on Tuesdays. It currently takes about 2 hours to collection everyone's trophy information, generate the update, and post it. If possible, I'd like to get that down to about an hour, which would be much more managable.

The trophy league is long overdue for a clean up. There are many people who have removed themselves from the league PSN accounts that still remain in the leaderboard. There are also many people still in the league that haven't posted on this site in years. When I have some additional free time (and the will to do it) I'll go through the league and start the clean up. I suspect that will drop the league members down to around 100, which should be more manageable.

On a somewhat related note, there will be no update next week as I'll be out of town. The next update will be on November 12th.

How do you update everyone's trophies and generate the list?

I have to manually record everyone's trophy count (# of bronze, silver, gold, and platinum trophies) in a spreadsheet. I then have scripts that generate each list.

The most time consuming parts to gathering everyone's currenty trophy count, and when I see that they've earned a new platinum trophy, finding out which platinum trophy they have earned.

And how do you get everyone's trophy data and where do you get it from? If I may ask.
