Stats ruin the Playerbase. People employ Kindergarten Tactics to protect their meaningless numbers. MW2 resorted t Noob Tubes, BF and Black Ops are camper fests, and even Halo is mostly just score padding.

I can tell you my KDR is 1.12(because someone told me the other day), but that doesn't reflect anything unto itself.
I have no clue what my WP total is, but all that tells is how long/much you've played the game *cough* CUBS *cough*

I think the only thing that matters is ISK. We are mercenaries, and we are supposed to be turning profits and capturing planets. If you're not accomplishing that, you are not accomplishing what the game is about.

Most Protostompers have a Big Corporation they can dip into to recover their loses, and they lose money in the pubs but don't worry about it. Technically, that makes them bad players because they are losing money as an individual. Same for HAV users. You need to really be careful, because you can lose millions before you realize it.

WPs attempt to measure actions taken that support a win, so it's the best single indicator we have.
That's the contribution portion.

What's the cost stat? Well it's really clones lost as that's what can prematurely end an objective match and it's the sole criteria in TDM. We don't have that stat however, so deaths is the next best stand-in for it.

So the best ratio we have (for all it's faults) is WP/D as you have already determined.

Now this is a ratio and ratios don't say anything about TOTAL contribution. A couple 50 point hacks and a single death yields the same ratio as 1,000 WPs and ten deaths. Are those of equal value? Of course not. The more active player is more valuable.

So we need to find a way to indicate the degree of activity in our statistic as well.

Ive got about 2mil WP and about 3k deaths

It gives me 666.67
