Big lag problems for several days now. Even europeans are pinging in the thousands. From the states I'm hitting 5000 sometimes. Played just fine up until these last few days.
^^^^My buddy and I have a pretty decent base going too, we should hookup. We use a Teamspeak to chat. To the admins, client has updated to .13 but server is still at .12. So unusable at the moment.
I agree with your conclusion. All those statistics are averaged anyway, which is important to note because that means it's not necessarily true for any given individual case. So there's no real reason to implement in-game unless the player wants to take it as a trait or something.
