Loss mails are useful though ... it gives you the names of the people that blew you up, so you can plan/plot your revenge accordingly.
Apart from ego polishing, I don't think there's any real benefit to kill mails at all. |

When you can answer those questions you'll begin to understand why kill notifications are, and will continue to be, an integral part of EVE. Because for some the fun only starts if they can stroke their egos? Scores in games are for defining a winner of the game. Here you can win a fight, but not the game. How do you know if you won the fight? Usually by determining the value of losses on either side. Is it now stroking your ego to see how well your opponent did or did not do? How does a merc determine if they have fulfilled their contract to inflict a certain amount of loss on a target? Why would you not want to know this? Or if you don't care, why inflict that point of view on every else that would like to know? Get over yourself.
how do you know you won ???
Their ship exploding and yours not exploding doesn't give you a clue ?? |

Their ship exploding and yours not exploding doesn't give you a clue ?? We lost 4 cruisers, they lost 2 battleships. Who won?Answer: It depends on their value. Example: We lost T1 Cruisers, they lost 2 T1 BS that were faction fit. We won.
nope
who controlled the field of battle after the shooting stopped ...
if they only had 2 ships .. you won
if they had other ships that ran away, you won.
if they still have ships on the field
why aren't you still shooting, the fight isn't over. |
