Assuming that was 500 - 1000 and not 100, that means you should be hitting around 2000-isn on your logi work alone. If you're doing that AND getting a positive K/D with it (1.0 or better) then you're probably in a good position. Work with people, watch how they play (seeing the way someone fights is MUCH more valuable than their stats - trust me on this). Send messages after a good game, complimenting the people you want to join you, and advising them that you're recruiting. If you've been providing good support for the team, they'll often remember your name for something you did, particularly if the message goes out right after the match. At worst, you annoy someone who doesn't want to join a team. More likely though, you'll find a new friend who will be willing to work with you in future, and in time you might get a new teammate out of it.
If you're putting up less than 3000 WP running as a Logi though, you're probably only a mediocre player and could use some work (or more teamwork). Saying your Uplinks are never destroyed means you're never putting them in the risky places which can turn the tide of a battle. A good player will rarely, if ever, lose one, but a GREAT player will lose a couple in most battles, but each time it will be valuable.
Another point I forgot to address is to BE PATIENT. Two days is NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. You haven't had ANY time to build up reputation, make friends, start recruitment... you basically haven't had time to DO ANYTHING yet.

Protip: Only go repper logi if you have a good (and I mean GOOD) heavy to follow around. Otherwise it's a waste of your time, and KDR.
You can - if you're good at it - provide good use as a repper Logi (or a repper Scout) by moving from one hot zone to another and staying behind friendly lines patching up the people who fall back to heal. You'll be picking up Triage points, and occasional Guardian points from kills, and you don't need to get lots of kills or assists to be useful like that. You SHOULD be getting very few deaths doing this, because you'll be staying out of the line of fire for the most part, but people WILL remember and recognise you as "that guy who patched me up" and if you message them, they'll probably think kindly of you even if your final stats weren't the best.
Quote:Still valid though. I guess what I'm trying to say is, KDR is what people look at for face value on how good someone is. Not even necessarily overall KDR, but game to game. If you go 30-4 in a match without orbitals, I dare say you're probably going to make some friends. that or at least get people looking. if you do well like that in several matches, expect to get noticed.
SOME people look at your K/D as a measure of skill. Many of the smarter ones ignore that in favour of watching your performance in-game, and seeing where you placed on the scoreboard and with how many points. A good Logi running AS a Logi shouldn't be CARING about their K/D, and a smart recruiter will look for the numbers that make a REAL difference.
Quote:It's not fair, really it isn't. but a solid player can pull at least a 2.0 KDR, regardless of class/gear. I've been running mostly sub-10k suits, and since 1.8, my KDR has been taking a dive. almost down to 2.0 now. that said, I honestly don't really care about my KDR anymore. Not when you get one shotted by RE's, Tanks, Shotguns, Thales, and road-kills. There's no reason to care about KDR anymore. There are so many cheap ways to die that it actually has cheapened the game. This is why I feel we need ISK efficiency to start taking the place of KDR.
We've needed ISK efficiency measurement for a LONG time now, and we need more people to pay more attention to those other stats - revives, healing given, etc.
