WoW Needs a New Battleground Scoreboard

[Mocha]

The fact is, these stats are very advanced for WoW's target audience. Now they reach out to twelve year olds who like Kbs, Death, and Damage. As far as absorbs, absorbs shouldn't count towards healing done because you can put a shield on a target that absorbs 1,000 damage, at the end of that shield, your target benefited from 1,000 bonus hp, did you waste time either casting the shield or waiting for the shield similar towards a hot? No, you run, shield as many targets as you can, and then shield some more. This is not the same as casting several heals for 1,000 on these targets which, never even lost HP. Could they have? Possibly, did they? No.



If absorbs counted for healing done, I'm sure 300,000 will be quite achievable at level 19.

And besides, Blizz takes something that is acceptable and functional, typically liked by a body of players, and makes it more simple. This makes things less simple which is against how Blizzard has been working for the past years.

Sorry SpazzGuy if i hit a nerve (Y) i'll put that to far to much study, i'll let you off

. You'd fit well into the Government.

Well yea bubbles shouldnt count towards healing, but actual absorbs i think should. However much damage your bubble actually 'absorbs' would go towards healing. i bet blizz could make it work

If only there was some way they could make it like a street fighter ranking system so you could get anywhere from F's to S's based on your ability use or something like that.



Can they do that? I dunno.



But I do know I can't stand the dps/heal/kdr race. It is the lowest common denominator of measuring competance and from the people running the most succesful mmo ever, I expect more.

I agree, this is WAY over due. The current scoreboard is meaningless, they should get rid of it altogether. It completely distorts the benefits of high DPSers and direct heals. I find it annoying when you return the flag 3x or cap five bases you don't get any extra honor. There should be some additional points for battlefield specific actions. The idea of a MVP that players vote on is a great one! That would encourage people to interact appropriately ("y doez Ally alwayx suc") and would reward those brave souls that actually try and coordinate a PUG of pvpers in a game!

Heck, even SWTOR has the idea of an MVP system at the end of each PvP match. I am surprised that Blizzard has not implemented something of that sort by now...

If Blizzard simply provided more information through the API, players could make a better scoreboard interface themselves.

Ideally I'd like to see the game provide full combat logs for the BG once it's ended (including <x,y,z> positions of characters when they performed actions/had actions performed on them).
