Best solution would probably be not to "hard grade" kill quality and basically go "solo buffs only" for all kills since it is the easiest frame of reference and if you stepped out of that, just specify what you used. The goal is not to diminish people's achievements but to have a frame of reference for further attempts.

If a necro manages to solo.... trakanon but raid buffed, doesn't make it any less of a fucking crazy kill, just disclose how it went down. For melees, even gear setup and/or overall stats could be interesting to disclose if you're killing stuff at the limit of what is possible so people can have a general idea of what was going on at the time.

I agree with this, so much. The point of the original solo artist challenge was to have fun and encourage people to solo challenging targets ... not to have a bunch of forum nerds pick apart attempts, making people feel:

If i could kill a boss like this (I cant) based on this shitshow I'd just not even fucking mention it.

I do still think having "rankings" would be nice, but A) no one can agree on what exactly those ranks should be, and B) if we're being honest, rankings need to depend on class (an Enchanter soloing something is not the same thing as a Shadow Knight soloing that same mob).

Like I said, I really would like to see a good ranking system (ie. one that addresses classes, and that everyone agrees on) ... but until one exists, I don't see how people imposing their rankings on others make things better.
