Only way to fight the blob is with an equal or larger blob. Changing kb calculations won't change that. Those who don't have the blob can flap their vagina's about not getting good fights but they do so docked up. Hard to get kill board stats when docked eh? This has less to do with blobs, and more to do with non-blob kb stats being accurate.

the reason I still use battleclinic is that it gives points

higher points for 1v1 that blob

higher points for killing a higher class ship in a smaller ship

my kills:death of isk:isk lost is worse than others, but the rank is based of points, and by points im top 5000 while others with more kills and less losses are 100k + becuase its all blobbing

Coming from a Corp perspective I don't see killboards as a way to track who is elite and who isn't. Killboards do a horrible job of showing how good of a pvper you are. However it does show how active a corp is with PvP and can be used to show perspective members what kinda timezones you are most active in, what kinda ships we fly normally and what kinda ships we kill. Battle Reports can give you an idea of a corps PvP style.

It can also be used by leadership to get some (not all) information on who is active and when in regards to PvP, unless they are a logi pilot or fill a different role its a good way to see how active a person can be, what kinda ships they like to fly and other little bits of info that are good but do not fill the full picture.

Are killboards a great way to find the best PvPers? I think not but its a good way to see how active corps and players are and what they fly in regards to management. However its not the end all be all of information nor will it ever be.

I have said forever making a KB where a DInty who points a Titan and gets 90 bil isk on his stats without doing 1 thing is bullshit.

In my world KB= DMG done+ECM worth certain amount+Tackle certain amount while taking DMG it increases etc and at the end the number on the KM is divided from largest DMG dealer/Best tackler to an Inty doing .0000001% DMG o na titan getting his .00001% share

This would mean solo players get alot of points and ISK as even if they dont get 200 kills at a time.

So a SOlo small gang might have the same amount of ISK destroyed as a guy who blobs structures and ships etc…….Hell the CFC would all have to split there kils 400-700 ways.

It does not matter after one has read your article.

Riverini, why'd you change the title from "Could Killboards Disincentivise Blobbing?" to "Could Killboards Disincentive Blobbing?" Don't make me sound Panamanian, dude!

You haven't noticed the new Postal WiS minigame yet? How else could AAA possibly be racking up kills without undocking?

You are reading it wrong. "Divide zero by a number…" means "0/x" and not "x/0". It is only meant to show that neither operations (*,/) give a new meaning to a value when a value has no meaning to begin with.
