I know some will say this system can easily be trolled, and perhaps it can. However, I can't imagine enough people would use the system in a negative way to truly impact the stats.

Ah, sweet innocent child.

Allow me to introduce you to the concept of review bombing.

Should negative votes be implemented, there will be a HUGE number of people who will derank mentors, either for shits and giggles, or knowing that they will be knocked out of roulette and their mounts harder to get.

Anyone with a burger king crown would be negative voted into the floor faster than a dragoon trying to jump off the boss platform... or a reddit post saying the game sucks.

Now that is a statistic I would actually care about. Like a toxic badge of honour. Great idea.

No thank you. :)

No it wouldn't.

If you want to combat the bad mentors, there needs to be a separate commendation or rating system specific to mentors. The current commendation system isn't specific to mentors and affects achievements that any player can earn.

says the person who wants to "punish" people with bad reviews when they get a bad run with randos. instead of spending 20 min on a boss you should have just left.
