MVP Voting

[Alhanelem]

The limit gauge wouldn't work as there are ways to fill the gauge without providing actual contribution- Examples:

- Unequip and re-equip gear to fill it with curing
- Cast bard buff songs. Even when no benefit is being provided e.g. everyone's MP or TP is full, it slowly fills the gauge continuously.

If MVP voting can be placed on any instance via the duty finder, you're going to see a lot of people running Ifrit (normal). Easy as hell, and it ends fast.

Just to further clarify if anyone was confused, the MVP vote takes place after the last boss in the dungeon is defeated.

That's good. One of the community rep posts made it sound like you vote after every boss in a dungeon. If it's only on the lass boss, any threats and whining will be irrelevant. All this will do is make people stay a few mins longer after a DF run to see if they get voted for MVP or not.

hmm, so you basically can't vote if the team is unable to defeat last boss? a.k.a duty failure?

It would help me to know voting was fair by something I can gauge mathematically.

What if there is a visual display of who filled the limit gauge the most to assist in voting? Filling the bar is already based on party contribution, so if nothing memorable happened in the fight, I'd like to cast my vote to the player who contributed the most in that aspect.

Because "doing the best job" cannot entirely be juged mathematically.
I've seen guys who were great at playing their class (gameplay speaking), but who had ZERO teamplay and total jerks. Yeah, they were good, and in lower level dungeons that's enough to avoid people dying, but it makes for an especially annoying run for the rest of the team who tries to, you know, play together as a... team.

The point of this isn't to know who did the most numbers, the point is who contributed to the group by being friendly and knowledgeable, or played their class in a way that was helpful instead of selfishly focusing on things like doing the most DPS even when it pulls off the tank.

What's wrong with that?

Musashidon... First, I am not going to vote for tanks, for anyone that uses the party in progress option. There really is no way to "abuse" this system unless you're saying that going out of your way to help the members of your party is abusing the system (if that is "abusing the system" to you then who cares as long as they are being helpful LOL). Really at this point you're grasping for straws as to why it's a bad idea. They already said the rewards are cosmetic. Please stop making up BS reasons as to why they shouldn't add this. To anyone with a functioning brain you are only embarrassing yourself.

dang you're right i mean when a tank joins a in progress dungeon and finds they aren't at the last boss and ditches them he is being really helpful and doing this over and over and over till he finds one and kills the boss then instantly leaves without voting anyone up and hoping they vote him up is being a great person right?

[Umero]

What's wrong with that?

that means we can't downvote ppl who are being a jerk and ruined the run... such as just opening the specific chest and leave the DF right after.

[Steeled]

I'm reminded of a run where a 3-man premade griped at me the whole run about how i mark targets.

I shield lob, and that marks my primary target. When that is close to dead, I'll mark something else with 1 so DPS know what to attack next. I never pause to mark, I never forget to mark, single target dps know what target they can expect to stay glued to me (even if I've tabbed to something else for a minute). (Everything stays glued to me, but it's easier to hold hate off a summoner's Bane than it is with a drg attacking some target at 90%).

I just...flat rewards are better than this. Give people 10 additional myth when the dungeon has at least 2/4 pugged (so two pair-groups would qualify) and let this break the myth cap. That's how you entice people to use duty finder. Make this apply to a level 50 queuing for "Any random dungeon", so if you end up in Brayflox, you still get 10 myth bonus.
