Because KDR sh*tbags think they are the only ones the devs should listen to because they are the "good" players and will vocally say that they are the only voice that matters.
It's another reason to act entitled and be a douche.
Screw your KDR, I killed your tank.

Caring about your KDR, especially in a game with no real competitive scene, kind of makes you look like a tool. Every match of this game you play your objective is to win the match and rank high on the leaderboard. How is that not a real competitive scene? Also, you seem to be confusing someone caring about their KDR so that it can be used to make an assessment about something with someone caring about their KDR so they can brag about it to people. If you view and use the KDR with its intended purpose of being measured you wouldn't manipulate it.
Because KDR doesn't carry you to the top of the killboard. Warpoints do.
If I get 4 kills 6 deaths but crank out 2800 warpoints trashing turrets, tanks and dropships I will be higher on the killboard than someone with 30 kills and 1500 warpoints.
Ergo there is no bearing that KDR has on the game.

KDR by itself and wanting it to be high isn't the problem by itself. You like having a high kdr? Great.
The problem is that many seek to preserve their KDR at the expense of the team. You see this in pubs and facwar a lot. The people who opt for the most easy and risk free ways to harvest kills from the word go.
Buncha nyain san nerds saying they like their kdr?
Not a huge deal. The bastards use scary efficient teamwork and abuse the meta like champs. It's not bad, it's just unpleasant to be on the receiving end.
But the people who chestbeat about KDR KDR KDR on the forums tend to fall under the category of the KDR chasing asshats you hear about people hating on. They have usually been caught being cheeseasses and padding so there is very little respect to be had.
The people for whom kdr matters and are tolerable to deal with are the ones who don't strut around like you should be basking in awe.
They just kick your ass in a match and move along.

If you are one of those people who truly don't give a crap what your KDR is, or any of your stats for that matter, please let me know why. I would like to try to make sense of this viewpoint.
I cared about my KDR before it got to 1. As soon as I was over that bump I cared a whole lot less. It wasn't how I appeared to anyone else that bothered me. I just wanted to know I was, on average, not a negative merc.
I just take comfort in I kill about as many fullly kitted dropships and HAVs as I lose Sentinel Ck.0 AV fits.
Guess which one costs more?
