Rank player based on death ratio?

Hello all. I thought to share this idea.

Game itself should rank players based on death ratio in dungeons only. So that's way leader of PF or whatever can view players and see if they have good or bad ranks before going in such as primal extreme mode.

Have to repeat go in then back out to replace then repeat. This Idea should save time.

Maybe it not have to be based on death but something else.

Can't edit on iPhone.

"Have to repeat go in and get out to replace, repeat. EDIT: is totally waste time. So this idea should save time."

This would not be objective. How do you know if the player died because of others or himself?

The idea would cause more problems than it could ever solve, it would be really easy to manipulate this with certain jobs in the party.

Yeah we need more reason for players to rage when wipes happen even though they are very very often not their fault.

That's one of the worst ideas that has ever been mentioned on this forum.

Then there would be no more tanks at all, maybe no healer nor melee dps... hell, everybody would quit the game. Worst elitist idea ever read.

Hey guys, I need to fix my life/death ratio lets go spam some sastasha

this also doesn't factor in the sheer amount of deaths that happen when people learn new content to develop the strategies everyone else then ends up using. This idea is just the worst.

This idea is genius, that way when you're about to die you'll just logout or pull your router cable to protect your life/death ratio. This would dramatically improve the community of this game!

Horrible idea. Team game, you might be the best player, but if you're stuck in a party that is not very good and die it counts against you. When they introduce solo content, and ladders sure.

Suddenly, FFXIV becomes a game of Russian roulette of who-gets-the-bad-healer?

Only if your tank car push 1K+ HP there, i don't want to take the risk otherwise.

I've got this awesome concept for endgame content that should remove a large amount of the trolls/bad/new/etc player issues "skilled" people have. I call it making friends.

It's really quite simple; when you do content with other people, you befriend the people who are actually competent. Then, when you're doing other content, rather than resetting the board and getting random dumb pawns, you bring in your friend pawns who you know are somewhat capable.

No way, no how. Noone would run dungeons/primals and when they would run it would take a long time because everyone would be over cautious.

Making friends?! In a Massively Multiplayer Online Game?! Surely you jest! No one wants to be social in a game genre fundamentally designed around social interactions! I want terrible player rankings instead so I can measure my e-peen against other players 24/7, that's how you build a strong community!

I cannot help but laugh at these responses.
While the OP's idea/implementation is certainly stupid, I can't help but remember the EQ2 leader boards, and one of the categories was deaths as class x. My guild leader was ranked 17th or so in the World for most deaths as a Wizard with over 4500 deaths. That did not make him a bad player though. I still had fun knowing that.

Have a death count that is private for the user interface, I would be interested in how many times I die and the ratio of dungeons run

So what you want is to basically stop anyone who uses DF grabbing a PF party? "Hmm no one is on, I guess I'll DF" many wipes later after numerous poor parties "hey can I join your group?" "GTFO BAD BAD PLAYER, Ugh damn noobs" and really don't try telling me that wouldn't happen.

Although the OP's idea is just bad no matter how you look at it, what you've mentioned Cons is actually done in FFXI once a year during the 'Adventurer Appreciation Campaign' event, where speaking with a special moogle npc will rattle off a list of statistics about your character, such as how many parties/alliances joined, how many GM calls you've made, how many conversations with npcs you made etc. Right at the end, it lists 'number of times KO'd', which can be quite disheartening when it's a high number. :p It would be an interesting thing to have in FFXIV as well, if only for curiosity's sake.

This is an MMO not FPS...

Sad suggestion.

Congrats for the lamest idea in a game forum. :P

People can, you know, die a 100 times, and then have it perfect?

This is a carebear pve game, if u want e-peen ranks go to a game with decent pvp ^^

OP is overestimating himself?

One of the worst ideas in the history of MMORPGs. We do not need Call of Duty or Battlefield to invade this game and give immature teens extra e-peens.

LOL. You guys are funny. :)

Please do not take this thread seriously.

No thanks.

Then the murder trolls would come, they purposely kill grps by screwing up the run just to get a kick out of it. It's to make themselves feel good about themselves because their real life sucks and therefore destroying the pleasure of others is all they get to do or they might possibly die from lack of other human contact since this is the only form they get it in.

If you'll notice, all of the OP's posts are as bad as this thread. He makes nonsensical threads, people disagree with his flawed ideas, then he either:

a) Pretends he was joking and not serious

or

b) Says you're wrong and what he says is fact

This. K/D ratio's fail when the user is not in 110% control of staying alive or not.
