It's all lies, damn lies, and statistics.
Numbers means different things to different people. Don't spoil the fun of other people by asking the devs to remove something that you dislike yourself because of your own insecurity.

Its not just me, and barring the bus argument I see no reason why it has to stay in. Its not like PKs where you would have to write down every single one to keep track, the numbers are already provided for you!
Hey, as long as we're going with the low-technology solutions, I've got a better idea.
/me gives smittens a piece of tape to stick over that part of his screen.

Sorry, but you're just not quite good enough. If only you had applied yourself and worked harder at your PK ratio...
LOL Lighten up, fearless leader!

I have to say that I never look at that stat on my own info or anyone elses. I'm not even certain as to what number would be considered "good" (and I don't need to know), but mine can't be that good considering the staggering amount of foolhardy things I try. I don't really mind dying unless I have a timed delivery (in which case you'll NEVER catch me).
If we are honestly going to take the time to remove the stat, let's do it up right. I propose that we also add:
"Good job! You logged in on the [#] try!" messages.
[#####]th place medals for all, or no medals at all.
etc.

Profit

But he's right, lets turn this thread into "Save the Self Esteem- Take out the K/D Ratio and other Fun Changes to the Character Info Screen"

Sorry, but I'm against removing this statistic, because I have actually worked hard to keep this one up, and I enjoy looking at it frequently. I have actually killed bots on occasion specifically to keep this statistic reasonably high.
Instead, if Smittens worries so much about this statistic, why not make it an option to render it invisible, both to himself and to anybody who calls up his player statistics? Some people don't want it visible, but others, such as myself, prefer to have it visible up high as a number.
I seem to remember somebody asking me how many credits I would charge to let him kill me 50 times, and my having refused specifically on account of the kill/death ratio. Does that ring a bell somewhere, Smittens?
I think that the real problem is that there is no way to decrease the number of deaths. Perhaps there could be a special medical mission of some kind where players would rescue stranded NPC traders n times and get n deaths reduced from their kill/death ratio.

If nobody else can see the stat, why does it matter? It fulfills no function in the game, right?
It is meaningless. Pointless. I don't get why it stayed this far.
I would like an option to take it out or leave it in. With 3 alts mine is never vary accurate any way I'm all about having to earn a good rep the hard way.
