IL stop leaving when ccp stops matching me with a full team of the same Corp or alliance while giving me the retards.

You do realize that there's not enough people to match you with other people, right?

However WP is weighted by an arbitrary value system. Who can truly look back on the match and say, "The merc with the most WP is the most valuable player," undoubtedly? I see battle-changing events going around me all the time, where the unsung hero would have been rewarded no WP, and more significantly, lost ISK because of a strategic action. Case in point: a single merc holding off a squad of incoming infantry long enough for the rest of the friendlies to secure an objective and improve its defensibility. Perhaps the merc didn't kill a single one of them, but was able to use cover properly to hold them back for an additional 30 seconds before being put down like a rabid dog. Not only may he have been heroic and shown great skill in managing an encounter with multiple targets, but he helped the team and received zero acknowledgement and lost ISK.

Tell that to the noobs who barely join but leave when they get loss after loss and death after death with nothing positive.

I say remove K/D altogether.

It's a useless stat, remove it from leader boards and game screen menus.

Maybe then people will stop leaving battles when they go 2-35 and it reflects on their records. Since they know that the amount of deaths they get is unimportant when they no longer see it is what will give them a reason to continue fighting regardless of how much protopussies are on the other team.

And replace it with ISK ratio.

ISK consumed/ISK destroyed.

This is truly the best thing I have ever heard or read. There's no way to measure this but I wish we could. As a Logi I have had fantastic games that resulted in 3-4k wp. that's great for me. but what about my team? they do the work right. my best bro gets 12-15 kills and that only nets 600 wp so i rep him and get 4k? i don't want to hurt my style but i think its a converstation worth having

So many losers here.. Thinking KDR doesn't matter is absolute stupidity.

I liked the idea of ISK ratio till i read this...

You understand that it would not fix anytihng. it will just replace KDR padders with ISK ratio padders. so people would just be leaving as soon as they start losing isk not as soon as they start dying...

your saying people will stop leaving because it affects their record and then your idea is to just replace it with a different stat which still affect their records...
