Suggested leaderboard reset after class balancing.

Hey everyone,
At first I'd like to thank for some much needed changes, which came with the recent patch. They made trials more challenging, by lowering the overall amount of dps and ultimate gain.
However, I count myself among those, who are very eager to aim for the top of the leaderboards. As of now it is not possible to beat the times made pre-patch anymore. So I would like to suggest a recurrent leaderboard reset, at least after each major class balancing.
I do understand the effort some guilds had to make, to achieve the times currently leading the leaderboards. There's no reason for their feat to go void either. I'd much appreciate an option to tab through previous rankings, allowing us to compare how things changed over time.
This way everyone will have a fair chance of reaching the top, without sacrificing accomplishments previously done.

Lord_TyrannoSoul ShrivenYes. I think its necessary that we get some changes for this system or there's no good reason to even try a faster time run.... I also think that this suggestion is a very good way to deal with this situation now.0

Leave them as is, that way, a few months from now, when your playing with the other six or seven people left and they ask, how did those gods manage that time, you can talk about the glorious days of overpowered DKs and Sorcs everywhere, and mythical templars and nightblades that were rumored to exist at the same time.3

I think the idea with the leaderboard was for it to mean something, to show people your accomplishments, to create connections between like-minded players.
A leaderboard with time runs set under different circumstances doesn't really seem like fair play. It doesn't show a full picture of the actual accomplishments. So why not reset the whole leaderboard when major changes and exploit-fixes occurs? A leaderboard with fair game would make it meaningful again. Make a "Hall of Memories" or something, as suggested by the author to reminisce on the "glorious days".
(So what change is big enough for a full reset? I guess clearing a trial with a better time even after a major change is prestige in itself (depending on the change), but the feeling of equal ground is not there.)
