I can imagine access to raw data instead of some stupid come-on-game-me-able predefined indicator, and that I can run some private statistical analysis over it.

I can imagine access to raw data instead of some stupid come-on-game-me-able predefined indicator, and that I can run some private statistical analysis over it. People would use (and share) different algorithms and gamers will at least wander through this collectively created mud without any understanding except for the defaultest measures. But of course this is too complex and “no one will use it” (tm). So we’ll better have a screwed up recommendation system that doesn’t work at all, cause that’s simpler!
