Publish stats of kills/deaths by weapon type per day/week/month. Aggregate and personal.
Then we might have some data to inform the clueless Devs that their new weapon that is So F'ing Popular is only popular because it was delivered over powered on day 1. See Flaylock Pistol, Combat Rifle, Rail Rifle and upcoming Bolt Pistol.
Don't believe me? Check the Dev Blog regarding weapons in 1.8 where the Devs spouts that statement.
Give us stats on everything that damages, kills and makes WP. This secret data would actually be useful to the customers. The ones with the money.
Many FPS games do, even those that aren't BF or CoD. Some aren't even multiplayer and they tell you how many kills you got with SMGs or whatever.
And so it goes.

Do you think CCP doesn't have this info available internally?
How long were the Flaylock, Combat Rifle, and Rail Rifle out before they got nerfed? (Hint; One patch.)
Quit whining. Not whining, asking for basic features to the game to function. I know that is nearly impossible to expect in Dust514 but they do have the data or the Dev wouldn't had made his clueless statement. As far as the one patch fix that meant the Flaylock was the go to solution for a solid month. Squads of dual Flaylock users, yep. Fun for them, sucks for everyone else. The CR/RR patch is what ... five months or so? Yes, that means they are still popular because they stopped the monthly patch process.
And no, CCP/Shanghai is not going to listen, change their ways nor understand that their game is drastically out of tune with being an actual FPS. I just want the blasted data I know they have.
The frustrating part is EVE has it, both Borderlands have it, many FPS games have it. And even Dust514 has the information, they just refuse to share with their customers. Some of this was promised (from CCP/Shanghai, I understand the irony) to be available through the API but it has yet to appear.
CCP/Shanghai should deliver the content that EVE does. What are the most effective scout weapons? Simple questions with answers that are hidden behind the clueless wall of CCP/Shanghai Devs. Life down in the Dust is not improving very much.
And so it goes.
