i cant believe there has not been the slightest official comment on this, one way or the other... expecting us to eventually give up and forget?
my stats have no relation to the games I have played BUT effect the way I am perceived in game (whats the point of a weathered uniform, implying you've played a long time when you instantly get it our of some BS stat mixup,..).
And before people talk about how this does not matter, its a gameplay element THEY DECIDED ON AND IMPLEMENTED... sure I would have chosen for it not to exist but if you are going to impose it on people the most basic thing that has to work is the accuracy of it. Otherwise it just trivializes the whole thing, and if anything shows how pointless and useless having a stat system is!
