Welcome to 2009 to be honest OP . I completely agree but it's been like this for a long time and we'll never go back to the old days .
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Everyone?
I am sure I could look up a kiilboard if I really tried to find one.

KB are why I am against CCP removing clone costs, should of just removed pods and included experience loss every time your ship exploded (T3 would of been higher). TL;DR aspect you don't need the public shame of an expensive loss, just knowing your dumb a$$ is stuck waiting for that skill to tick over again....don't need public humiliation and harassment, you can hate yourself for warping off grid when they land but at least know the other guy didn't get another fight and is probably pissed you got away |

The corporation my main resides in has one simple policy regarding Killboards: Don't post to them. *) Does that mean our kills/losses are not out there on those boards? Off course they are, probably mainly our losses. Is that relevant to us? Not in the slightest. The only relevant thing to us is having fun. And sometimes that leads to getting blown up. Big time....
*) We do use them for intel purposes though.....

I don't post kill or loss mails anywhere.
I do find it funny that some vary from 75% to others with 90%+ ISK efficiency. Shows how inaccurate they can be.
However,
.... they are an important Intel tool. Seeing who flies with who regularly and in what ships is proving very effective at removing pests that visit frequently.

I think killboards are fun. They're a nice, convenient summary of your fun time (or sadness) as well as a great intel and after-action tool. Most gamers love stats, numbers and spreadsheets about themselves, the game or other players and nothing wrong with that. It's a public record you can take pride (or horror) in. Sure, some people take it to extremes though like any other part of the game, but heh.

I've heard people say this time and time again since I started playing. It didn't make sense then and it doesn't make sense now.
Some people don't pvp for a variety of reasons.
Other people like some types of pvp and not others (i'm in this boat, i like "fleet fights" because those usually have an objective like taking or defending space, which makes me a dirty blobber, but flying around solo or in a small gang looking for people to shoot isn't my idea of fun).
While I'm sure their is at least one person in the universe who doesn't pvp because "omg someone would see it if I failed", I don't think that is in any way a popular sentiment. Most of the people I've encountered who don't 'pvp' are people who don't like to lose things and feel the sting of that loss. |

Well said. I tend to think that people who say "there would be more pvp without killmails/boards" are really saying "I would pvp more if my shameful losses were not made public, those public losses make me feel bad about myself and lets others ridicule me".
It's basically a self-esteem issue. |

One of the main cancer's is killboard stalking.. I agree with the OP.. killboards have became such an obsession for the elites that they cant live without looking at it.. one main thing I simply do not understand is why my private in-game actions is posted outside on public without me even consenting to it..
it doesn't make sense, it causes griefing, there is no valid reason except exposing who's good at pvp and who's not.. and surely who's new to eve.. I know the elites will debate it over and over again and defend their obsessive compulsive disorder. but its true..
the gimmick of looking up expensive KM's almost teaches a person how to stalk someone online.. and that's what really it is plain and simple.
there are players that actually do not log into the game and play but instead just sit and watch killboards and then log in just to fuss at someone losing a ship on a killboard!.. its crazy |

I asked him why he did it and he told me he's too scared. He lost his comet about 30 minutes later to a kiting tristan.
This happens a LOT to me in lowsec. Last night, 2 comets bailed. About 2 weeks ago, I was sitting in a novice with a republic fleet firetail and another firetail appeared on dscan, he was sitting in front of the novice for about a minute and then he warped.
I asked him in local why he did it, and he told me he's worried about losing his ship.
In my opinion, the public killboard is CANCER. It kinda reminds me of call of duty and kills/losses ratio.
With eve, it's the same thing. People are too scared to take risks because of the possible loss. I'm pretty sure if there weren't any public killboard sites, there would be much more pvp in eve.
I have a little nasty daredevil with a faction web sitting in a lowsec station, but my corp/alliace wouldn't be happy if I lost it. I have a vindicator I'm eager to use in solo pvp, but my corp members would kill me if I caused 2 billion loss on KB. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
I just wish there weren't no public killboards.
Combat log stats in eve should definitely stay, and imo one should be on the kill it even if he doesn't cause the final blow. You ***** on a killmail, it should appear in the combat log. That way, if there weren't public killboards, you'd still see and could link what you've lost/killed.
This is probably not going to happen, but it would be awesome if it did!
And it wouldn't be a problem for corp recruiters, either. They could just see all your kills/losses in your API.
If I think I will lose a fight, I'll bail, if I think I will win, I'll fight. Has nothing to do with killboards. Your understanding of cancer is rather troublesome; get help.

The killboard has the same effect to this game as being able to map wormholes right down to knowing when the last person farming was.
While it is great to be able to share a killmail, making everyones so everyone can see them was kind of dumb.
When your alliances intelligence is set to 3rd party programs you know this game is broken. |

Every now and then we would get a Nintendo or computer game and I would try it out before my brothers do. After I crash and burn, I'd be #1 on the high score list because no one else has played the game, and I would put in my three-letter name proudly.
Not even a day would go by and my brothers would kick me off the computer and play the game over and over until they wipe my name off the scoreboard completely, as if I never existed.
EVE is a game. People love high scores and they obsess over them. Isn't that an ok thing to do for something that's essentially entertainment?

So why am I, in your opinion, one of the best pvpers?
You can have 10 000 kills and 100 deaths but if most of the kills were blobs, it doesn't mean you're good.
Most of my small gang/solo pvp kills are from 2014, and my K/D ratio and all isn't that awesome. Yes, after you spend years in low you learn how to fit and fly ships well, so getting small gang/solo kills isn't that hard.
Instead of suicide ganking visit us dirty pirates in low :) You might like it.
And yes, I do know how to pick up fights. I don't fight blobs when I'm alone and I don't fight super fast kity ships and worms when I'm alone, but comets, firetails etc are pretty fair fights. Hell even a tristan can kill a comet with its neuts. |

Please answer my questions, though:
Do you mind combat probing 1400mm Tornados with the occasional cloak?
Do you feel bothered by people who suddenly decloak and jam your side of the fight, while completely ignoring your enemies?
Do you talk in local a lot?

I talk in local when I feel like it
