I think we need a new metric in pubs, along with the kill/death ratio and WPs. It should show how much ISK you gained/lost, and it should be visible for everyone in that match to see. I think this will add a different perspective to this game, especially for new players. They need to understand that one of the main goals for them is to remain ISK positive, no matter what their kill/death ratio is.
And I think this should be an GÇ£actualGÇ¥ number, meaning, if youGÇÖre wearing BPOs and die 20 times, it wonGÇÖt reflect in ISK lost; you didnGÇÖt actually lose ISK.
Think of it as a small audit after every battle.
I know, from my perspective, if I had this metric when I was a noob, I wouldnGÇÖt have felt so bad after dying 20 times because I could see that I actually gained more ISK than the guy that died 4 times but was wearing proto the entire time.
Thoughts?

I would love to see an isk gained/lost metric added to the EoM. I do worry about the effect it will have on the community though. I think we would start seeing a lot more matches ending in clones if more noobs start realizing they can go isk positive while still dying 20 times.

Do you think that would be a bad thing? To me, I see that as a positive because at least noobs would stay in the fight and continue to push objectives.
Maybe? Maybe not? |

ISK efficiency strikes me as more important to immortal mercenaries than KDR. If it can't be added as an EoM metric then add it to the character sheet stats.

Yes, from a corporate standpoint, I only care about profit and wins/losses. I don't care how you won, as long as you made a profit. And I'm sure there are times I don't care if you lose, as long as you make me a profit. |

I think this is excellent. KDR doesn't really matter in this game, it's one of the reasons I've stuck with it, there are different things that you can do. I used to play Quake 2 Capture the Flag and could go whole matches without firing a weapon, just grabbing the flag and running like hell with the grapple.
In a game where there is so much more to do than just kill people, it would be nice to see the metrics move away from pushing the KDR, which really doesn't matter so much. I think ISK Solvency metric would be a great thing to see. Maybe the ability to drill down into your own kills on the last battle screen with an estimated value?
Kill Assists are another thing I would like to see on the metrics for the end of a match. They seem to be big parts of the after-match stuff, but don't appear on the team-wide metrics. |

Is a game but a same time people don't wanna keep dying, while also not making what they are loosing. That is why a lot of people leave a match when the other team is stacked or you know there is good players on the other side. Isk efficiency, better matchmaking among other thing will hopefully alleviate that. (fingers crossed)

I'm a numbers guy, and I think it would be pretty cool to see how the player base ranks when it comes to this metric. I simply think we need to push new players to this type of thought process. Don't hound them with KDR. KDR doesn't matter. |

In the Dust I picture in my mind, total ISK destroyed in a match would be displayed on the EoM as well as the total ISK you lost on fittings and vehicles. This would be proudly displayed front and center with plenty of data on exactly what you destroyed and who you cost the most ISK as well as who cut the most out of your profits.
Below that data would be WP totals for Kills, Assists, Vehicle Damage, Triage, Team Resupply, Etc.
Tucked away in a corner there would be a KDR read-out with minimal fanfare.

Good ideas.
And, don't lie, KDR only matters to you because you proudly display it in your house, above your fireplace. I can already see it; you print it off in large Old English text, 72 font. |

Me, too. I put prices on all my suits. But I want ISK Gain to be a focal point for everyone to see. Yes, that guy just went 32-2, but he actually lost ISK. Or that Logi just went 0-7, but he made a ton of ISK. |

I don't care about Winn/losses as Scotty often puts me in to a battle that is almost over, I have nothing to do with the Winn/loss in that situation.
I don't care about K/D rate because every kill/death I get is different fits and siuts so it's not like I can say I'm a bad as at killing THIS, or THIS always gets me. And sometimes we have to suiside or get killed by the game do to lag, hit detection and other crap more than we do to players themselves.
I don't care about those stats simply because they are untrustworthy.
I ONLY CARE ABOUT ISK. LP AND SP.

From my merc's perspective, I completely agree. I only care about ISK and SP. (I don't care at all about LP, personally).
However, from the perspective of the businesses hiring us for public contracts, I'm sure they do care about wins and losses, since they are most likely paying us to win the battle. That's the reason I think it's important. |

There have been times when I am placed in a match with the enemy MCC is at nearly 100% shields and ours is at 50% armor. I will be given a defeat when I had very little, if any, influence on that battle.

Yep, I diggity dig it. But that's a different issue that can be fixed. Also, it impacts everyone the same. I'm almost positive everyone gets into those matches.
I was just explaining that if I was running one of these businesses in Dust 514--or the EvE universe--I would pay attention to wins/losses. I wouldn't want to hear excuses because, again, everyone is handed the same issue of being put into crap matches. |

Actually solo or two man squads are much more likely to get this issue. If you always run with a full squad it almost never happens.
