Killboards are cancer, I was turned off completely from Eve because of killboards that breed stat padding mentality, the whole game started to revolve around playing for stats if you cared to get anywhere. Gate campers were religiously repeating the same tactics and predominantly represent the top of the ladder. It felt as if to have any respect you had to play a throw away clone until you knew how to play and then switch to a clean slate where you would grind out the killboards to make yourself look good.
It's an irrelevant and meaningless measure, you can be 0-100 and win against a 100-0 player, the metrics themselves mean nothing and recording in a permanent record only encourages people to not play legitimately out of fear that their record will be tarnished with every encounter if they choose to play out a situation rather than save their stats.
