ZKill have been kneecapping EVE for far too long (some evidence)

[Anthony_FatTony_Amico]

if a corp cares more about your zkill then how you can help them I wouldn’t join. On the other hand zkill has a lot of funny kills. I really don’t get so self conscious about my zkill stats personally. People are worth a lot more then just a zkill history.

The psychological impact is bigger than people understand…but then ignorance of basic psychology is as rife as it is sad. I find it amazing how people don’t even understand their own motivations…which are mostly just animal/ evolutionary rubbish that often hampers than chances at the deepest enjoyment of life.

You should record yourself and play it back.

I will never understand the idea that a competitive game would somehow be better and involve more risk taking if only someone would get rid of the score board.

My killboard sucks btw, big deal.

[Jhousetlin_Zamayid]

Is EVE “a competitive game” or does the landscape just allow for competition? It seems the game is also cooperative; we have had problems with “blue doughnuts” for a long time.

Killboards are for carebears. These guys won’t even undock if they think they might run into a situation that might affect their K/D ratio. None of their character names start with A, B, C, X, Y or Z so they can hide in a blob and whore their way into a capital kill.

Killboards are one of the worst things to be introduced into the game.

Mr Epeen

It was 5 to one, I just jumped through a wormhole that collapsed…

they all fled because they thought I might take at least one of them down with me and none of them wanted to risk being “the one”.

@Verlyn

Personally, I would love to be able to experience Eve without it, and see how the practical and intel part plays out between communities in the game.

As far as I know EVE Echoes has no killboard. You’re welcome.

@Algathas

Yes it’s used for Intel which is why when I have a toon I use as a hunter I will intentionally make it’s kill board look worse after a while.

Scroll the drops off the first page or two with some junk losses with a sprinkle of Spectre Fleet in there to help confuse who the toon is actually with.

You, sir or madam, are pvping the right way. Mad props to you.

It’s actually very stupid of gankers to post their kill mails, in an intelligent and rational world victims would push their kill mails and gankers would try to hide it

Very true and many are hiding there kill mails these days , it makes them harder to track especially if no player was fighting back .

Days before zkill I remember using locator agents much more .

Before zkillboard was Battleclinic.

Watchlist changes are what made locators less useful and used far less.

That’s right I’d forgotten battleclinic
