I really wish imms would stop exposing PK stats to anyone, including themselves. And it was already done in the past, so perhaps I'm not alone.

Not only these stats promote bad gameplaying behavior, they are also very misguiding (like gang-o-meter) and it is not a good thing when players are rewarded/noticed because of their PK ratios (which in return promotes bad gameplaying even more in return).

Just several examples (not complete list) what people do for PK stats and probably what they would do less if PK ratio would not exists:
- gearing lowbies in midnight dragon or vulturing for hero corpse in order to build sick set at low ranks and rack kills there.
- trying hard to make a final blow in group fights
- any form of pk harvesting like: sitting in sweet spots to boost their ratios, ganging, repeatedly picking and multi-killing the same newbies, quiting when things are bad for PK-per-hour ratio, for example, when your opposition is strong and you have to spend time avoiding gangs or retrieving (which doesn't increase that stat), and any other smart-ass behavior aimed at PK harvesting in OOC ways which veteran players can easily spot.

While sometimes it's interesting to know what your PK stat looks like, I would still vote for removing it as it bring more evil than good.

And speaking of goodies. Of course they aren't in the top PK list because they have less targets and more restrictions, but that doesn't make them suck in PK, they suck only in PK stat.
It's like you probably won't kill as many people with your defensive shifter as with your giant warrior, but it doesn't necessary mean that defensive shifters are much weaker than giant warriors.
