Currently for normal players, the only thing they can brag to their friends is their not-quite-intuitive elo / rank. Besides you dont know how many players the ladder has without using aoe2.net, and even if you do you still need to do calculations for finding out what percentile you are in. Getting a medal in art of war gives you a corresponding coloured frame for your player icon and thats it, nothing really fancy. Icons are also fairly easy to obtain, not even close to the steam achievements. Its a miss of opportunity imo.
Btw, this might be an unpopular opinion. I think if the game is MS store / Xbox live exclusive, it might be better polished overall.
