Congrats, you two posters just proved why I don't want an suggestions forum. You don't know the discussions internally nor do you have the same experience that most of our team has (yes, we played and know what made the server great)
This isn't a bad idea but we have another idea in our development subforums for stats and this would just interfere with it. I don't want to see the importance of stats decreased as some people enjoy them, however I do want it to be more reflective of skills and less exploitable.
