Ranking

From Guild Wars Wiki

Ranking is the act of displaying an emote such as Hero or Zaishen rank specifically to somebody, usually another player or an opposing team. In most cases, the goal of ranking is to assert superiority or taunt. Many people consider ranking to be unsportmanshiplike or rude, though some view it as just playful ribbing.

A popular situation to rank someone is in a PvP match over a dead opponent's body. In fact, the Zaishen rank was purposefully designed by ArenaNet to be applicable for this purpose. The Zaishen rank emote animations feature various weapons falling from the sky and striking the ground in front of the player, and with careful positioning they can be aimed to strike a corpse on the ground.
