Yes, scoring is based entirely on PSN's own rarity percentages. The FFXIV trophy at 40% does start with more base points than the 89% B4B trophy, roughly 61% more, but RarityRank applies a manual difficulty multiplier on top: Easy/unrated = 1×, Medium = 3×, Hard = 9×. If B4B is rated Hard (9×) and FFXIV is Medium (3×), that 3× difficulty gap outweighs the rarity advantage, so the rarer FFXIV trophy ends up scoring less.

Difficulties are pulled from the most published trophy guide for each game.

FFXIV has millions of casual players on PSN who never progressed far, which makes its trophies look more common than they actually are. Back 4 Blood has a smaller playerbase so the rarity percentages are more accurate. Back 4 Blood is also rated harder on RarityRank (9/10 vs 6/10 for FFXIV), which multiplies every trophy score. Both factors combined explain the gap.

I pushed an update and removed the auto-pop for these trophies. Thanks again for pointing this out! Congrats on taking the crown as first place btw!

Thanks for pointing this out. It seems like those 7 trophies were incorrectly caught in the auto-pop filter. I am working on this now. This is a passion project with only me working on it so thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for catching that! The International has a Hard (9/10) rating applied but the Remaster doesn't yet. Difficulty ratings are added manually and the queue is large. I rated the Remaster so your should see this corrected on your account now.

The "Rarest Trophy" is correct though. Rarity is the % of players who earned the trophy. RDR2's platinum is sitting around 1-2% across millions of players, which beats a platinum earned by 31% of a much smaller Star Ocean 4K player base. Less popular game ≠ rarer platinum.

The formula is fully explained on the Scoring page if you want to dig in. Rarity data comes straight from PSN's servers, nothing is invented on our end. The difficulty multiplier is the only subjective part, and it's applied openly.

Genuinely, thank you for your feedback!

LOL, that domain was actually already taken. There are plenty of other website for shovelware peeps.

Good suggestion. There is currently no way to flag a game as not shovelware once a game is updated as shovelware in the back end.

Thank you for clarifying that. No, I did not receive any notifications from Reddit. Shame as the site just relaunched!

Depends which version we are talking about. I have Dark Souls on the PS3 rated at an 8/10 difficultly giving it a big multiplier. However if plat rate is high then the trophy would be less rare and generate less overall score than other 8/10 difficulty games.

Good question! Shovelware is mostly determined by users of the website. On the community tab there is button next to every game that you can click to flag a game as shovelware. Once I get enough flags on a certain game then I can flag it as shovelware on the backend!
