    *Incoming slight rant*

    Coming from a far too long history with WoW (8+ years being an officer in a semi-hardcore raiding guild) I have a love/hate relationship with statistic tracking websites such as these. While they do provide a lot of information in a nice package, if you merely glance at the surface level you can get a bad impression about someone. For instance, I don't simply look at K/D ratio (unless they claim to be an infantry player, then I would give it a bit more weight) but I do look at the combined K+A/D ratio. If a person doesn't have a lot of kills, but does have a good number of assists, that tells me they are putting bullets down range and trying their damnedest to make a difference.

    The short of the long is, these sites are awesome tools, but please use responsibly lol.

    Depends on what's in the API, I'm sure.

    Unfortunately I know nothing of programming, nor do I even know where to look in the forums/website to see where the API calls are listed.

    I woulnd't be at all surprised if that sort of in-depth information is being kept in SOE's "back pocket" to make Planetside2 Players the best such stat site.

    The site needs better formatting and more stats (something similar to bf2s).

    The K/D sadly doesn't tell much. If any, somebody with a very high K/D playing as infantry is probably not the best teamplayer around as "pushing" or "holding the line" against an heavy armor line supported by a dozen of bloodthirsty infiltrators will probably get you more deaths than kills even if you always win your 1v1 in a "somewhat" controlled environment.

    While playing outside of an outfit platoon, I tend to "vulture" areas. I let the lemmings in first to spot the threat and then go in and engage at the best range for my weapon... never hold down a point and rather oversee the area to get the best flanking position against any respawn rushing for the control... only get in the front to unload your magazine on sure shots and then fall back behind your lines to reload/recover... This kind of behavior usually gets me outrageous K/Ds, but would that be welcomed within a NNG platoon ? Highly doubt it. And I'm not complaining !!!

    The only use of the "stats" I've made so far is with the In-Game Death By Empire pie chart to rant about the amount of TKs I've taken in one session.

    ... and to see what's the next rank's name and label. That's my soft spot.

    Teamplay and having fun is the most important stat out there.

    I have more fun running around in a full Liberator/infantry capping points/Flash-mobbing as opposed to soloing my Scythe.

    K/D means nothing and does not equal skill.
