I would like to see KDR become KADR. Assists should count in the whole how good are you statistic. How many times do you unload a full mag into some proto heavy, and have the other guy do 19 damage to kill him. WP in general are a measure of how you advanced the team, however we all have to agree that dropping hives and uplinks is WP whoring in general. We all appreciate it, but its a WP grab for most logi that run through the battle paying more attention to their equipment than anything else.

I sucked bad when I started playing, my KDR is in a lot of ways not an indicator of how good I am now as opposed to how good I am on average over the course of my playing the game. In the real world, your only as good as you were yesterday, so maybe KDR should be calculated on a 30 day basis. anything you did 31 or more days ago is just not relevant and should be removed.

You lifetime kills is still a valid stat, but if your KDR is a 30 day statistic, corps could more accurately see how good you are now.

Hold on a second ... you "appreciate" the convenient Up-links that allows you to deploy in a safe area near the battle, and the Hives that resupplies you weapons with ammo when you need it the most....But you don't like people getting WP's for providing that service to you ?

That is a bit contradictory .

I should have been more specific in my point. I don't think that WP should be used as a metric for how good a player is in regards to the KDR discussion. With the new addition of scanning WP this is going to get even more pronounced.

You get 50 wp for a kill.... right ? Maybe CCP should remove WP's from kills, to make you dream come true. I mean... according to you WP are irrelevant... so you will be happy with just K/D ratio and kills count, right ?

I don't have issues with WP, I just don't think its a valid way to determine someone's skill at the game. Please try reading a post instead of trying to find a reason to troll it. It makes you look like a moron.
