Lets say you have several weapons. You have a laser pistol and a BLP and rifle of each kind also. You have a long and short blade and so on. As most of us did we tried everything just to get a feel of what we liked. Jump ahead to where you are around lvl 20-30 in whatever you are going to stay with. Just for ease you did laser. You are going to test 2 pistols and 2 carbines all similar stats. Some more damage per shot but slower shots per second and so on. Range, ammo, cost per shot, SPS, DPS, range and so on. How else can you really find what is best for you if you don't know how many kills you get using the same ammo plus decay costs for each. Moreover, a long range gun maybe better for a mob than a faster shooting pistol and the list goes on and the real way (or best way)to find out is number of kills IMO.
MA has said to pay attention to all of the above but not really giving us an important tool to help us. We NOW know what kind of hit we receive from a mob and I see absolutely NO value in that other than making Tracker stop working. You can find the hit info in EP. IMO that was a waste of time and a load of BS acting like that was going to be a big help.
MA pretty much has the code in place because of the their code for local events that track loot and number of kills.
Just a side note: I did see a player using big gun to 1 shot kill punys and he got a bunch of globals in just a couple of days, like 35 or so. I know this because I checked on tracker. He tried to explain his theory but I guess he got broke because I have not seen in a month or two BUT global wise it did work just not big enough globals to sustain his costs.
