Back from the lasses and thus missed out on some nice discussions, so I thought I would just chime in at the end briefly on the scoreboard situation.
I'm all for removal of kills, oh yes indeed but it is rather nice to be a chap on the server with a fair amount as the newbies tend to follow and listen to you. It would be nice if the way kills were tallied could be re-counted. Say kills are replaced with a "leadership" count, which makes every 8 kills a mark of 1, so each kill is +0.125 of a point. Each death could could reduce that mark by -0.25 so that way the actual number of kills is quite tricky to work out on the fly but you get a general feel for it and deaths play a bad role in your score and therefore reflect a man that players will more than likely to follow in battle. On this same vein of day dreaming TK's can have a higher minus percentage grade along with killing the enemy leader giving a plus bonus. Leading on from this it would be nice if Leader class got an all around advantage on plus and minus bonuses so people can pester a poor Leader to give the role to somebody more deserving, even extend these bonuses to those who fight around a Bannerman.
This post is a slight mess and shall get tidied up shortly after watching all this E3 news and I'm fully aware of the most likely impossibility of such a system, but a lad can dream.
