MVP Voting

[ashikenshin]

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

in case you missed it.

Can someone tell me when the Dev say "You will be able to vote at the end of the boss." Does this mean that every boss that is kill in the Dungeon or at the end of the Boss? I really hope the end of the Boss because I can also see abused if it's every boss.

For an example Tanks and Healers.

Tank "I will not Tank if all of you Vote for me."
Everyone "Ok.."

* First Boss down and Tank didn't get vote *

Tank "Why you not vote for me? If next boss you not vote for me, I will just stay here and not go on anymore."
* 2nd Boss down and no one vote for Tank, so Tank just stand there. If there is Vote, he continue.*

Same go for healer, see what I'm getting at here?

so this is a non issue

hmm in my opinion the game should just pick the MVP based on well everyones skills.

voting just leads to frustration towards each other...although it shouldn't but yeah it's not a perfect world.

There's no way how to measure that. On days with horrible server lags good players will earn no votes at all. That voting system won't change anything neither on the community or on the game. Why implement it in first place?

so only 1 person can be mvp? ah good pre made 3 man party we don't ever vote we have 100% chance of one of us being mvp cause you can't vote for yourself and we vote for noone then if they vote (since they don't have to) noone but us can be mvp rinse repeat till either noone goes into dungeons solo or we all have gotten enough points for our items and we never have to do it again.

This should be quoted in the OP. This is startlingly simple exploit of a bad system.

I still want a source for this to be actually the case. if it is the case SE needs to be aware that they have to change it into a 'single MVP' (aka everyone who gets a vote will also get an MVP)

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.

I could be wrong, but I thought they said in the past that votes would be anonymous. You wouldn't even find out how many votes you got till the end of the week when you saw a tally.

How is that an exploit? At best, it's only slightly improving your chances for winning MVP, and 2 of the 3 people still won't be getting rewards. Saying you can do this till you don't need the points for gear anymore is no different than queueing up solo and running it till you don't need any more points. If 3 people want to run dungeons and just not vote for the random person they are running with, big deal, if THAT is their "exploit" for earning rewards faster, they're still going to be running about 3 times the amount of dungeons they would each need to run it if they were solo, as there is no guarantee the 1 person would switch each time.

And ya know what, all you people that are trying to find ways to exploit this, or for whatever reason have just decided you're never voting for anyone to increase your chances of winning, you don't need to worry about it, because you're the type of people that really will never be voted MvP. Just be a nice player in DF, and do your job, stop crying because someone else got icecream for dessert.

you seem to only see it your way and make everyone else seem to sound like victims when that isn't the case, the point is how simple it is to screw the system over it's ok that people can enter with 3 and screw that one person over? the whole reason the system is there is to make people nice make things better but all we see it doing is making things worse, people already afk in dungeons or join in progress and leave if they aren't at the end, and this is suppose to fix that how? how is it suppose to make things better by giving rewards that are based on a majority vote why even vote at all if voting means you could make yourself lose it makes not sense.

it's not about someone else getting something better its about this system does nothing to encourage people from being rude in the end all it does it give more incentive to be rude.

It does though. If 3 people decide they want to run DF groups to screw that 1 person out of a vote, I doubt they'll be helpful in the dungeon, and most likely won't get a vote from that one person.

This is a system designed around 4 random people. I can guarantee you, I will be getting MvP more than any of those 3 people by queuing up alone, and being a helpful and good tank for the 3 random people that join. I won't rage when we wipe, I'll explain boss strategies for first timers, and be an over-all pleasant person.

By choosing to do something like not vote JUST to increase your chances, you're just proving that you're the kind of person that doesn't deserve to be called MvP, even if it was a title and nothing else.
