I get why you think that. You want that #74 position in 2014 to mean something (congratulations on that), and that is also okay. No reason to belittle people with another opinion though

So if the stat you are interested is not on the killboard that is too bad for you. But instead of crying and propose the removal of killboards why not rather ask for more data from CCP to build the score board you are actually interested in? If it isn't kills/death or economic damage, how about amount of ore mined, npc's killed, stuff produced or stuff sold on the market?

I think it would be awesome to have more data to build different score boards which don't only focus on ship combat.

I did not get btw. if the crying part was pointed in my direction, because then you did not get the intension of my posting. It was entirely adressed at the tone in your post, not the content.

provide nothing in value, except maybe to rethink outside the box on fitting.

Killboards are an essential part of the game. It's like "racing for pinks" - street racing where you don't know what's under the car's hood until you beat it in a race - or lose your own car trying. "pinks" means "Pink slip" going back to the days when cars in the USA had registrations cards that were pink. Racing for pinks meant you raced other drivers and lost your car to them or won their car.

(And thankfully I never lost my '72 Dodge Challenger and still have a Mercury Cyclone I once raced against, but I didn't have the beat the owner: he gave it up when he decided to become a family man)


What always bugged me about killboards are that they are limited to kills. While a report of a kill or loss should never go away, if it were up to me I would make them into "incident reports" and not have to go as far as a kill. In cases where there is no ship destruction there is no loadout displayed. On an incident report, the encounter itself is on record such that any aggression is included.

The idea is to give a little something to non-combatant pilots who still have encounters, such as logi, haulers who "got away", even a bubble encounter is in the report. It would help players have more to show for their "role" and involvement in the game.

Whether it's even possible who knows - that's a lot of information to push around. A task I would not want.

The official excuse that I heard was, "We made a change to API stuff which made it trivial to watchlist everyone in EvE with a few mouseclicks. We have no better recourse at this time, so we're going to shut down the feature before it gets out of control".

The reason the players, myself not quite included, hammered on about was the "too powerful without having to work for it"...it wasn't the Devs admitting that.
