Why K:D, Deaths, streaks and other stats are bad, and how PS2 can evolve the genre

[Graywolves]

In starcraft 2 they made it so that you can't see another player's lossed game count unless they were in a really high league.

Perhaps in Planetside 2 something similar could happen except the top 100 per server or so will have their stats public.



I completely agree about how promoting personal kill streaks and strong K/D does more harm than good but it's something that's going to be there. In SC2 after they removed the ability for me to see my losses I just kept track of it personally.


I also think that the more serious players are going to realize which stats mean absolutely nothing very quickly too. It's fun to joke around and brag about your K/D but anyone that takes it serious and goes to a top outfit going "You NEED to invite me because I'm the best Killwhore on the server" is just going to be a joke.
