Kill scores don't truly represent your performance

[Doritos1821]

Damage dealt and heals also don't determine a player's performance all the time too. Some jobs have an easier time getting the kill, damage, and heal stat than others. I understand your frustration though, as a melee DPS, I get obsessed trying to get highest kills. However, if kills were determined on the person who did the most damage to a target and you were facing a team that had really good healers, then SMN and BLM would have all the kills. In my opinion, person who gets the last kill shot is the most fair and its actually something us melee DPS can take advantage in a 72 man slaughter. That PLD knows what he is doing by steal killing. Also in a series of games, you have the better chance of getting more damage and kills in any PvP mode. You know the rules of the game and strength of weaknesses of every class. Use that knowledge to your advantage.
