Why?

because scoreboard is the only thing which remained from k/d-driven gameplay . yet devs did put some effort in building a teamplay-driven gameplay resulting in the current multiplayer system.
scoreboard only supports e-peen playstyle and k/d whoring.
for consequent game experiance design it therefore has to be removed.
unless there would be a valid reason for it to remain ....

I can see the benefits from doing such a thing but you need to remember that the majority of people who play this game are either man-children or children and would never agree to such a thing.

instead of removing, buff it by adding horse kills

no

honestly it helps to see who's performing the best on any given map

it lets you know who should be a priority target to help your team win, lets you see what playstyles or builds shine in what situations, lets you peep pr0 KDs, gives you the right to shit talk your team whenever you are top and no one else on your team has a positive KD, and reminds you how shitty the game is when you can get 20+ kills a map regardless the class and still lose because auto balance put all the ranged + cav + banner stacked heavy infantry on one team and left yours with all the scrubs

There is two styles to play this mod:

Killwhoring (or atleast trying such thing) and team playing. There will be both even if the scoreboard is removed. Multiplier system maybe helps some players to decide which way are they playing. In my opinion it is a matter of situation. If the round is going to be tight, I sure as hell will be teamplaying and not caring about kills. Then if the round is clearly going to be won by my team, I might like to go and horde kills :D

scoreboard is for man-childeren , but it serves a purpose other than previosly stated.
It makes peasants usefull , as strong-but-stupid players will waste time by trying to capture the easy kills.

I want some sort of a score board that will show at least some (flawed or not) meter of how well I perform. It may be damage done (which would be better) or something else, but it needs to be an individual score.

Having a decent kd relieves a burden from my heart when my team is hopelessly losing. Don't remove it please. At least when I have 4:1 kd in the losing team I know I wasn't doing the wrong thing. It's not a good indicator but it's better than nothing.

Its been suggested before (not sure if possible)  but ASSISTS could be a good compromise...

assists being one of the score stats may make some people less intent on killwhoring (even if it means hitting teamates to get that killing blow)
and will make more support classes recognized.  in siege, it would also show you that although someone is 45 and 4, if they have like 0 assists then they aren't fighting anywhere near anyone else and therefore probably not helping defend/capture the flag.....carebear?  :mrgreen:

if its possible to add assists in the scoreboard, id say why not?

Come on. Everybody likes getting kills and looking at the score: it's a deathmatch-style game.

This is a stupid idea. If you're bad, get better, and if you're unlucky, them's the breaks. The more you team-play, the better your K:D will be, because you'll have more opportunities to massacre your enemies; and if you chase peasants, you usually get stabbed in the back by non-idiots.
