I'm just amused that the most vocal group is the one advocating removing killboards.

Protip: the only way killboards are ever going to be removed is if CCP removed kill/loss information from the API. And that's absolutely not going to happen. Even if they did, killboards would still exist, they'd simply be even more incomplete and even less trustworthy.

Removing killboards would kill Eve.

If that were really the case then EVE would deserve to die. I think killboards are important, but I seriously doubt they're the primary reason for more than a handful of people to be playing this game.

I do say how they calculate kill and points is messed up.


I can whore on a supercap killmail with a single shot get 20-80 billion added to my killboard.

I propose you receive the amount of isk and points proportional the amount of damage inflicted on the km.

Which completely cuts ECM out of the picture, where IMO the dictors/hictors that keep the supercap tackled are deserving of more points than anybody who did a substantial amount of DPS.

In any case, I don't think very many people pay attention to points. ISK efficiency is pretty skewed, though, but it's a useful indicator in confrontations where whoever the isk efficiency is being calculated for is the only force shooting your enemies. For example ISK efficiency for a RAZOR fleet versus, say, IRC would be a pretty good indication of how we fared, but ISK efficiency for a CFC fleet versus someone else would give too high of an estimate as it takes into account kills that were done with friendly assistance but doesn't take into account friendly losses outside of the alliance.
