They're protecting their STATS. They aren't good players. They're stat-padders. Dropping from the game still loses them all the ISK they lost, but it DOESN'T hit their win/loss or kill/death ratios. what's with the importance on K/DR anyway. only thing that matters in this game are war points
not really but we have no way of measuring what is relevant, the best thing would be to give us an isk per match stat in the short term this is one of the best indicators of player ability I've seen. although not sure how good it is for logis.
long term we need isk destroyed vs is lost, isk destroyed per death and per match. these are the most meaning full stats. |

Yes I know, KDR is meaningless blah blah blah. Well I care about it, and if I get a garbage KDR in a match I cease having fun (unless I am tank hunting and successfully cost some tanker hundreds of thousands, or millions, of ISK). Then I can accept my potentially crap KDR that match because it was well worth it.
Would be nice if I could stop caring about my KDR, but I am absolutely fixated on it, even dropping 0.02 ruins my entire night (unless I get a good match that brings it back up).
I've long awaited a online FPS game that does not show deaths anywhere in the game. Because while many of us won't admit it, KDR is important to a lot of FPS players. And because of such, I haven't experimented with as much as I would like to in Dust because of the potential hit to my KDR.
I probably would have had a lot more fun being a logi, since as a logi KDR is something they never have to worry about. Heck, a good logi can go 0-4 and still make 2x's the WP than a player going 25-0 on the other team. When I see a player like that I don't think "Wow, he got a crap KDR that match". I think, "wow, he didn't get a single kill yet out WP'ed my entire team and ranked first on his!"
RIGHT HERE CCP this is why you need to add a isk destroyed/isk lost ratio and a isk destroyed/match to dust ASAP, get rid of this worthless KDR obsession so people can focus on what really matters isk efficiency, thats what separates the good and bad players.
any jack ass can throw on proto gear and leave a match when hes not killing scrub berries. Good players will beat out proto in std gear and rack up good isk eff. this might also minimize pub stomps as there is incentive for good players to gear down instead of up. I mean most good players can run proto gear almost non stop. |

It is and its unfortunate, I catch my self doing the same thing all the time. Unfortunately its the only stat to track your progress, and I do wanna feel like I'm doing better but its a meaningless stat that leads to bad habits and abuses. |
