G&R range indicator

I think it would be useful for people if the can see where th G&R range begins , I know it begins somewhere between 1200 and 1300, but I would like it more exact.Just to make life a bit easier, and knowing where you have to go for to get in the G&R range or the second border (0.2%) of the G&R.
I think it should be displayed by the Military Effectiveness, under Glory and reputation score. Something like:
Glory and Reputation Score (ranked 1228 or below to get) ...

Quick way to figure out the approximate value:
- go to Attack, then click on Rankings
- scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for the total number of players -- 81,690 players total | page 1 of 2,723
- scroll up and look for the number of unranked players -- Unranked Realms 16,123
- 81,690-16,123=65,567
- multiply the result by 2% (if you want to get in 1 G&R point/turn range) or 0.2% (if 5 G&R points/turn range) -- 65,567*2%=1,311
Then again, I have nothing against the G&R range being shown on the Command Center page so you don't have to do the maths

I've seen this formula, but it's just a indication where it starts (Isn't it), roughly. I would like it somewhat more exact. And of course for those under us how have trouble with calculating it would also be nice.

I guess there could be an indication by colour, like say 5 g&r ranking are red and 1 g&r is blue or something like that. The rest of the rankings remain black.

Like, when your on the attack screen, the rankings change colors for those instances?

I like the idea of the G&R being indicated in some way. Even so you would know what rank you need to get the 5 G&R per turn.

perhaps have it listed on the training page below the current plague/no-raid/no-trade-uu/perg limits?

I agree with both of the idea's, in the rankings has the advantage it's easily visible, but it might cause increased attacks to those in G&R to get them out.
and on the bottom of the training page, because there are already some stats about the gamingsystem

Usually whenever you do try to do the math it is probably 50 ranks or so over what you need to be. Having a definit minimum goal to get there may encourage some people to try harder to reach it.

Kurushio is right. When I did the math a week or so ago the number I got (I did the math right) was that you needed to be ranked 1315....I was ranked 1253 and wasn't getting any G&R. I dropped my rank down to 1226 and then I was getting G&R but I don't know where the cutoff is.

you probably forgot to subtract the "unranked realms" from the total number of realms...
Total Realms 19803 + 20520 + 10199 + 22169
Unranked Realms 16,253
g&r:
1128,76

As of posting there are 82,446 players, 16,255 inactive.....top 2% cutoff = 1,324 but if it's the same as when I did it the other week I bet that people around 1,275 aren't getting any G&R.
Adding up the total number of realms and the number of players produces a difference of 9757, does anyone know where those nearly 10K players disappeared to?
@ Zeratul
Your post makes me think I'm not taking something into account but I"m not sure what?...and 1,128 seems too low because I know a week ago I WAS getting G&R when I was in the low 1,200s.
