MVP Voting

[Pseudopsia]

I don't know where these e'splainin' tanks are. I generally find it's my job, as the princess humble healer to help out the new players.

I'm one, I assumed it was my job... I seem to be only one doing it in DF groups when I was leveling.

I expect after MVP system in place when there's only one new player you will see 3 other players talking over each other to explain the fight to the new player ^^.

Sure there will be MVP beggars as well "Please vote for me, I just need one more vote..."

As long as the equipment is purely for vanity's sake, it doesn't sound too bad. Though in all honesty, just the fact that Squeenix thinks you need more than the good feeling of being nominated MVP makes me wonder what they think of us as players.

Hopefully getting mvp points is as glorified as getting xp points.

This idea is the worst thing that could ever happen to Final Fantasy XIV.
I hate when Yoshida states he wants to improve the filtering of missions so players can find other players in the same needs and ways of playing, but in the other hand the MVP is here to f*ck up absolutely everything.

First thing, this will create a large amount of discord and flaming due to who gets the MVP and who doesn't, that's the LAST THING this game needs right now.
Second thing, if the player is actually awarded for beeing MVP he'll just go show is ass off. I play as a healer, and i never except to get this MVP shit. I never let someone die and i never get bad feedback on my work, but that doesn't mean i ever get a good one "thanks" or "good job".

I totally find this MVP thing useless and even dangerous for the game, Yoshida should totally abandon that project and let the game be as it is, we don't need anything WoW-like in a cooperative game, every single player in a party has in key-rôle in a dungeon.

In other games forums the MVP, was really the suck up that was the goody goody that didn't contribute at all really and instead was a lacky snitch to the mods. It really wasn't anybody who was a public figure, only newer players looked up to them because they were different. And MVP was always the "follow the rules guys" type of person.

Screw that rules are meant to be broken.


I nominate GoldCEO for MVP, for his actions in determining flaws in the current system.

I avoid full pugs. This will not change so I probably won't get to participate often ♥

I'm not sure how abusive people can be with this, I'm sure that voting will take place after the last boss and it would only make sense for it to be anonymous. If this is the case, ask for votes all you want but that doesn't mean you'll get them at the end.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how they implement it before casting too many judgments.

I'm not sure if it's your intention but you're coming across as jealous because you don't think you'll get rewards for yourself. Who cares what non combat pretty thing other players have?

I am pretty sure that tanks will normally get it followed by healers anyway.

It should be anonymous, so why would there be a debate in pt? WoW does not have this so not sure what you meant?

Yoshi recognizes 2 problems in DF: 1. Players are jerks 2. Tank shortage ♥

Do you have better suggestions? They're waiting to give us VTK as a last resort.

Nah it's not of me beeing jealous, i don't want this system at all for me or for anyone.
If it is anonymous like you said, it might be slightly improved.
But think of it, do you really imagine any DPS getting rewards ?
I like tanks for sure since they are the most important role in a party, but god i lost so much faith in this community these last days...
Tanks playing diva, if you don't listen to what he says or does bad he'll just go off knowing that he's still popular because of his role.
Thinking that those players may get awarded gets me mad, that's all...
I was saying "WoW" because of the system, like i said FFXIV is a cooperative game not a "who's got the biggest one ?" game.
That's just my statement and opinion, i find this system not helpfull for the community at all...
The one guy will hardly try to get the MVP doing the best he can, but in the end he'll just get dissapointed while he could just relax if this system didn't even exist.
It won't make players improve themselves, it will just make them mad and begin shouting shit...
Thankfully that MVP system is disabled in premade dungeons, i just can't imagine what would happen if i had to debate who was the best in our dungeon with my friends by vocal...

Why would you be against a system that tacitly incentivizes players to not behave this way? Particularly one in which your participation is optional.

Was gonna say the same thing.

As long as there is no down voting it should be fine. true that pre-made groups wont benefit, maybe they would be awarded the same amount points for joining as a group? to encourage premade teams more.


Dps also can defiantly get voted, if the run goes well, with no flaming and no bad behavior asking to be up voted even if you didn't have any advice to give is fine, the goal of the system is to stop bad behavior. you don't have to be super helpfully, just contribute to the group effort
