A34: We believe the players got the wrong idea of the system because we called it the MVP system. Therefore, we have decided to change it to the “MIP (Most Impressive Player)” system. Simply put, we would like for you to vote on the player that was the nicest member instead of the voting on the player that was the best during the run. We wanted it to be a feature where players were able to thank each other.

Q39: Are there any limitations to voting with the MIP feature such as the number of times you can vote or who you can vote on?

A39: The MIP feature can only be used when you are playing solo. This is both for the voter and the person that is being voted for.

hey what the hell happened to my comment? i posted a nice explanation on how this MIP system could be exploited and it gets deleted?

It can't be, as mentioned in the live letter, you HAVE to be solo, there is absolutely no way for you and your friends to manipulate the vote.

I already posted an explanation on how this system has a flaw. it does not involve manipulating it with your friends. it explains how it benefits you to not cast a vote for anyone.

again, why was my comment taken down!?

I remember that post, and it made sense, in the case where there is only one MIP per dungeon.

I must have missed the official comment that explained that there would be one single player per dungeon getting one MIP point per dungeon max, because the comment quoted in the OP as I understand it, means youget points everytime someone votes for you (in which case, the loophole you were describing doesn't apply).
I would be gratefull if someone could link the official comment explaining this.

oh i see what you are saying. and the end of the dungeon, an "MVP" isnt chosen. you simply get points based on how many votes you got, anywhere between 0-3. if that system is the one implemented, then these japanese have once again proven that they are the smart ones. And like you say, what i pointed out would not be the case where it to be a point system rather than "choosing through votes"

you were informative and apt. my hats of to you for being the rarity in an internet forum :)

For all its good, the Duty Finder eliminated this social repercussion. You can no longer choose not to associate with jerks and players that refuse to get better. You can, however, rewards the rare gems that are not like that.

Is it perfect? No. But in conjunction with vote kick, and short of transitioning to a single player game, there's really no argument that it won't help even a little. And I think that many people underestimate the motivation that minions, mounts, costumes, decorations, titles, furniture, and any other vanity features gives players.

yeah. I've been asking for a few days now for a source that there will be only one MVP per group, and never got one, but was yelled at and called 'ignorant' instead because I read it the same way you did.

funny this community is.
