Why are killmails (kill reports) useful?
People are worrying too much for their kb efficiency so everybody tend to overgank.
The way i see it removing 'killmails' could improve the fighting experience, people not worrying for the e-peen competition could try fighting more and better, maybe doing more small roaming gangs, instead of the usual 'we are just a hundred, we need more numbers to kill that single frigate" or the "i solo pvp all the time, with my 2 gang links alts and my 3 rep alts and my 2 falcon alts, yeah i'm a soloer".

So yeah: remove killmails.

Let the flame begin.

Because I like to chuckle at the sillily overpriced ships I kill.

I don't see how removing killmails will have any effect on how people fight.

If I'm joining a talwar blob, I'm looking to bring certain death. Having or not having killmails will not change this.

If I'm going out with a handful of folks for some small gang action, the ability to look at what you had after one of us dead does not change what I plan to do.

If anything I'm more likely to blob more often "just in case"

Your kill efficiency should be more meaning full than it currently is, a way to do this could be to only generate kill mails during war.

For example you will only generate a killmail against a legal war target, a neutral party member will not appear on the KM.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.
