I've noticed that the # of clones doesn't actually go down until you actually just let yourself die. So if you get revived you saved a clone but you're K/D is still affected it seems and your opponent still gets the kill. It's Weird.

Surprise surprise all the people calling KDR a meaningless stat haven't got a KDR over 2, and one isn't even positive.

ISK efficiency > KDR

This will become the true measure for recruitment. This isn't saying that high KDR/ high IE are mutually exclusive, just you'll be able to tell who the real tryhards are once we can see IE as a stat.

High KDR with an IE that is 100's of millions in the red and you'll know that they only take AUR gear up against nubs.

Each AUR is worth 150,514.17 ISK (current as of 1653, using the Jita Buy order price for PLEX from http://eve-marketdata.com/price_check.php?type_id=29668 divided by 3500 which is how many AUR you get from converting a PLEX).

This means that the new NEO Dropsuit (costing 90 AUR on the market) is worth 13,546,275.3, yep, 13.5m ISK so each one of those that you lose, you need to kill a whole lot of blueberries in ISK gear to make up the difference just for the cost of the Dropsuit.

KDR < IE

Noob question but... how do I check another persons KDR?

Stare into their eyes

I would probably propose having a stat that measures average WP per death. That way, people will compare it to KDR and get an idea how a person gets his WP.

For example, I have a KDR less than 1. However, when I run with a good squad, it is a rare match where I'm not getting in the top five people in the leaderboard, even with a crappy KDR. Why? Because I'm a Logi and offer support for my team.

My point is, if you look only at KDR, most support Logis won't be accepted into any top kill corporation. WP/D ratio will make it easier to distinguish the play style of a certain gamer and draw a conclusion, whether he's good or bad at this.

that's because KDR is a statistic for scrubs. KDR means almost nothing in this game to anyone other than the goofballs who tryhard every pubmatch in a BETA. KDR doesn't tell you whether a guy is a redline camping hill sniper ****, a heavy, a logibro, a drop ship pilot, AV specialist, etc. It also doesn't consider whether the player in question pubstomps, plays mostly corp matches, runs solo or squad, or how much time they spend goofing off after they hit their cap.

Actually, no, you missed something. You need to adjust the price between Aurum on the DUST/PSN store and the Aurum into PLEX price to get a grasp of the "EVE cost" of gear.

40k Aurum for $20 (DUST) vs 3500 Aurum for $17ish (EVE).

Other than that, spot on. . .

It's really not surprising. No need to stat pad when you know the stat doesn't matter.

People overly concerned about KDR is the death of objective based matches.

Most of the time i'm guarding a position....no WP there, and I get 1/4 kills than others.

You're all re-tarded scrubs with low KDRs who pat each other on the back and whisper "didn't want a good score anyway" I dare say your W/L ratio is terrible as well.

Let me see... W/L - ~2.25. I easily get to the top five with around 1000 WP and 0/0 KDR. When my help is needed everywhere on the battlefield, I come out on top with over 2000 WP, and still a low number of kills and deaths.

Now call me a re-tarded scrub one more time.

Well, I have to say that I can't begrudge you setting goals to strive for, it is something we should all do. I do have to say that I tend to agree with you there, though if you listen to a lot of the talk from L33T PVPers about green killboards, IDK that it will be much different in Dust than it is in Eve.

Goals are a good thing, this will not change the importance of IE as far as recruitment is concerned.

Will somebody answer my question? It's kind of hard to see into people souls with this screen in the way.
