Wp is an integral portion of ones statistics and when combined with ones kdr it can show a lot about whether a merc with a low kdr is actually helping in battles(say a fully speced logi getting 2k+ wp per match but with 0 kills) this is a necessary mechanic and should not be removed.

I don't hear any sob stories of Logistics pilots, or EWAR pilots, or Scouts, or Cyno pilots, or any other non "kill it with lazors" pilots not getting into Corps. Hell, it's actually the opposite - Corps want those people bad.
So yah, don't agree. Corp HR departments wont breakdown without WP's to check. Logi's will still be fine. Not have a high KDR but have most SP invested in Logi skills? If a Corp recruiter can't put two and two together from that then you don't want to join anyhow.
Dust has very little of what you just mentioned and now that you mention it I might put up a thread about "wp" for kills and logistics support and so forth for eve as that would be a wonderful new stat that might make it easier to find people willing to fly Logi ships in eve.
Killboards while it would be nice to see this implemented in dust it would be rather annoying and probably cause a lot of server side lag due to the number of kills each match.
As for the recruitment side stuff I've never been through the process dust side for a big name corp although I have been through a couple eveside(look up tal'rakken for eve history)
Wp is a mechanic that's good for the game something to allow us to measure our e-peens if our kdr isn't all that great(my personal kdr is .78 as of this post and steadily increasing). Frankly rewarding those support roles in dust is a good thing why would you want to remove that??
Also how can you compare mercenaries to a military mercenaries kill for money militarists kill for a county/cause etc |

Severus Smith wrote:*Shrug* Good points. Was just a random idea. I still don't like them; to me it should be about ISK efficiency, wins, and losses. But y'all seem too like the fluffy stat points so that's important. I just don't see how a persons total WP can help differentiate between if they're a terribad nolifer who plays 100 matches a day, an actually good player, or a tool who just farms kills but ignores objectives and teamplay.
check out this site: http://dust514stats.com/
it takes your kdr, your wp, and your win/loss ratio and combines them to give you several meaningfull stats. while kdr is important for an assault its an entirely meaningless stat for most logis(although its always good to have positive kdr with logi)
thx for reminding me to update my stats on there btw god can't wait till they give us a dust api will make all the 3rd party stuff so much easier when it automatically updates. |
