    Suggestion: Devs, please take over the ball on Oracle Of Death, and give us a website with that data again.

    Many players used Oracle Of Death (http://ps2oraclestats.com/monthlystats/) because it was the only source to get a big picture view of the game. To figure out what Weapons/Vehicles/Loadouts are performing. To figure out what the actual impact of all these Dev changes are once the smoke clears. Some got the info directly from the site, others just read the posts of people who had done the research from data from the site.

    But the site hasn't been updated since June, 2016. And as the new changes pile up, that 6/2016 data is more and more outdated and more and more inaccurate at an indeterminately compounded level.

    It's bad enough all these recent radical changes are disrupting players and the way they've learned to play over the years. But without Oracle Of Death, we have no good way to get our feet back under us.

    The alternative is that some groups will have exclusive access to superior private findings. And this will skew the meta with tier of ignorance, and will further make the game seem inaccessible to the average player, and alienate players.

    I know SOE/DBG has long relied on community created data content to support the players. But many of the PS2 content creators have long since abandoned the game, especially the data mining tools, and it just leaves PS2 bankrupt on the basic needed level of in-game performance data.
