PLAYER RATING SYSTEM!!!

Hiw would everyone like it if you could rate a person on the loadstone or in game on how they acted in game during a raid , dungeon or just exploring. Am tired if people being A holes in random party's and not being able to have some feedback about it.

I would like to know how others have to say about a rating system being implicated in to the game/loadstone

No, because people would only use this to leave negative feedback and never positive.

OK, LOL!!!

Now, let me say this. Who would have time to study every party member. This is just pointless.

When someone is doing a good job, no one says anything.

When someone screws up, everyone lunges at his throat.

WTF? No! You're opening up one hell of an avenue for harassment here. Don't like someone? Leave a bad review. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. Hell, get all your friends to too! Let's have a Metacritic party!

I would like to see good ratings too I encourage ppl to leave good ratings

Everyone that wins loot items would all be rated down by jealous people. No thanks. :)

every game that has implemented something like this, it always devolves into a just another griefing tool.

This would be an excellent addition if the system was magical and managed to sort out the liars.

Only like a few options to pick from with all options being good and fair.

Could make it only so people could make someone up.

An absence of any positive comments would be fairly obvious, without being a particular harassment tool.

However, overall, no thanks.

Op,no,okay? Noo. Move along.

not a bad suggestion, However to avoid abuse it would need to have guidelines.
Like say
1 point generated per week, to upvote or downvote. you can only upvote people not in your FC, Linkshell or Friendslist. Your upvote gets removed if they get added to your friendslist FC, or Linkshell. It will be returned to you to use!. Downvotes stay no matter what. if you downvote even if they become your friend it sticks. the system is purely cosmetic, a person with 1000000 downvotes can still Q and participate in activities as normal.

oh and its tracked via the SE account, No making a million characters to upvote yourself you only get one per account per week

Yea that's the kind of system am talking about . I just wanna know what type of person am about to go in to battle with

Yeah, no thanks.

If anything, allow an ability to give only a positive rating, via each unique user (so, you know, your bff doesnt rate you up a billion times).

A big NO for the ability to give negative feedback. That will always be abused.

some people will give you a bad rating just because you win an item roll over them.

Honestly, does anyone really think SE would actually provide us with a means of "blacklisting" their own paying customers? They are not going to do anything to interfere with the enjoyment of the game for even poor players. That would be bad business.

if you do not wish to be subjected to the whims of random strangers, dont use a tool that will place you in a group of random strangers

I'd like it if it only allowed positive feedback (or no feedback at all).

You always can't always tell what the source of the problem is. It might look like the healer can't heal, but maybe it's dps taking too much damage.

This exactly.
I know if i make a single silly mistake and everything else is fine and i run the dungeon the first time i will get a bad rating from someone in the group. If i run the dungeon having a perfect run with never once lost aggro, always marking, no snarkiness, no death, no waking up slept mobs on mrd no one would eva care to go on lodestone and give a like. Thats just how people are.
Everyone loves pitchforks.

My issue with this is the same as everyone else's. It would most likely get abused.
A vote to kick feature would be at least somewhat better(although probably abused as well). If a party votes to kick you then fine whatever you can re-queue and move on with your life but if someone gives you a bad player review, no matter if you deserved it or not, it will stay with your character.

Jerks would rate nice people as the lowest possible score to spite them for not being in a constant state of rage and sorrow like they are.

OP u mad bro?

Such a feature would be unfair and biased. You could have done nothing wrong and someone could simply give you negative marks because they don't like your character's race/class/job/appearance/posture/<insert other dumb reason here>

I would be happy with a DF /blist

If they had to implement something like this, it should just be a thumbs up/down button next to each player’s name. thumbs down would be self explanatory, thumbs up would be “highly recommend”, no response would just not count.

And it could also go both ways for the voter. They could keep a record of how often this voter/player ‘thumb’s down’ and if the player excessively thumbs down everyone else in the party every dungeon runs, then they’d either be blocked from voting for a few dungeons or a few days and in addition earn a thumbs down on their own record.

The good part is that you’d only be able to vote DURING dungeons and only if you’ve progressed at least 15 minutes into the dungeon already

I agree with the point everyone's making. If there's a way for this sort of system to be abused it will be abused. No negative 'reviews'.

So how about if there's only a way to leave a positive review? Non-mandatory. You know, if you enjoyed playing with this person, give him/her a +1. Sure, not everyone will bother but some will (I know I would if I were impressed with the person's attitude/ability to play their class/etc.).

Oh and make it so it can only be done once for any given player by any given player, so people don't have their buddies bump their rating frivolously.

It's a neat idea, OP. Really it is.

But, I dont think it will ever happen. Not with the rampant immaturity several players have in game.

Not anytime soon, anyways...

Aion actually sorta had a thing where you could pull up people's character profiles to look up their gear + stat, etc. but, you could also leave COMMENTS on their profile. This being a PvP oriented game, and myself playing an assassin those comments were usually made by upset players. Not that I minded. Some were rather funny. Something along the lines of "You gonna need a rocket or a ladder that's foreva to get on my level" - quality comments like that. Eventually it became such an issue that they removed the comment feature entirely. I admit I was a little disappointed because I took every rage comment as a badge of honor, but a lot of people didn't quite see it that way I guess.

Lineage 2 had a thumbs up system. If you got enough thumbs up your name would change blue which would indicate people liked you. It was a neat idea except you'd just bug your friends to thumbs up you. Or in some cases some people would pay strangers to thumbs up them.

I dunno OP, even yelp has people exploiting it. I doubt any real useful rating system could come from a video game, especially since you're dealing with people who can change and learn on the fly, opposed to companies stuck in bad business practices.

Thank You for getting it sir.

This game is still about forming friendships and community. Yes alot is solo friendly but at the end of the day we are compelled to find others to adventure with.

The OP states he wants this to know what he is partying with in Duty Finder (an assumption). Join a Free Company / Linkshell try them out if they do not meet your standards move on. There is such a diverse group of players you can surely find a good fit with out the need to rate someone.

A rating system is not needed worst player threads are not needed best player threads are not needed. It all no matter how well intentioned is also open to abuse.

How about a simple Facebook-style "Like" system?

No negative comments. Just "Like" the player if he was nice/did a good job/etc.

"I'm paying 10gill for likes! Step on up and get paid!"

I'm just sayin' I saw it in Lineage 2 and I doubt humanity has evolved much since then. If its exploitable to the point of it being useless then people will do it.
