Yes. Also on front page http://appdb.winehq.org/ on first item:
The Top-10 Platinum List
Ragnarok Online All Versions
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=928
Maintainer's Rating: Platinum
Description: What was not tested
* Installation. That was not necessary because I
already installed it in Windows - I'm just running
RO from the Windows partition.
So that appdb classification is complete garbage.
If Platinum requires that installation works out of box, and
tester did even tested installation and still gives platinium.
So first item on http://appdb.winehq.org/ says "don't trust me".

( Some other maintenaivers have give rating 'Garbage' for this application :-) )
I agree, the rating isn't correct. We aren't going to be able to avoid
issues with mis-rated applications though, so discussing language
changes is only going to clarify the issue not entirely prevent them.
In this case the maintainer of the application should be made aware of
this issue and should take care of correcting the rating.
