Stats/Trackers being publicly accessible Is the biggest cause of toxicity

In my opinion, stats should be private to the individual. I'm talking about the likes of raid / dungeon report, kd tracker etc. A lot of the new guys that we've helped have been so grateful and have thanked us for 'allowing' them to join us for content, as they are rejected for being new and low clears/kd etc. Lets be honest, the new player experience isn't great as it is, but this is just an added barrier and turn off for new players to Destiny. I've first handed witnessed many people complain when a player with only a few clears joins a raid team (if they weren't already rejected), kicked from even a dungeon team for the same. It's not just even the third party api trackers either - just go look at the Dares Of Eternity groups that list a 'clear time' as a requirement (the one listed on the intro when you load in), players kicked from Iron Banner teams due to KD (which is also listed on startup) and also people leaving trials games when they see a low kd (I get it, but that's not the point). It gets worse as the game ages. [u][b]Suggestions:[/b][/u] [i]Disable the api trackers completely and hide the in-game UI ones [b]OR[/b] Make them only visible to the player[/i] [u][b]Pro's:[/b][/u] - Severe Reduction In toxicity - Less barriers and elitism to new and lesser experienced players. [u][b]Con's:[/b][/u] - Upset a very small minority of egoistic players that live for stats and can no longer publicly flaunt it.

    You are the reason why games like new Battlefield doesn't have stats post match because they fought that this is toxic in some way. Stats requires for maiking an lfg group, If I'm want to find teammates on lfg I want them to have same or close stats to me, I don't want to carry to casuals just because I don't know they play, stats aren't shows always how good is a player, but I'd rather have 1.5 kd players in my team rather than 0.5 players. The same with raids, if I want a fast clear I would find myself a group with 10+ clears on the raid and I don't want to spend hours to teach some blueberries if I don't want to
