MVP Voting

[Alerith]

I like how everyone here assumes Tanks and Healers will always get the MVP when there are plenty of shitty players playing both roles. As a professional PLD, I'll glady give my MVP vote to a worthy DD over a shitty healer and I would encourage everyone else to do the same.

If you have a good tank or healer that earned MVP, then they earned it just like anyone else.
If you have a poor tank or healer, then you are not obligated to give them your vote.
If the party was all around good, then it is up to your own judgement who to vote for, if anyone.

There are plenty of crap tanks and healers that you can pass over voting on to give the DD their dues.

Welp, guess I better work on a boss explanation macro for every boss that needs one.

This sounds like a wasted effort in my opinion, but whatever. I don't know why so many are assuming tanks and healers will get MVP. I see so many bad players on every role, especially tanks. I always cringe when I get a paladin, but I digress.

I do notice that random bard that sings when I'm low on mp, or that black mage who knows how to aoe. (Also sleep when necessary.) Plus those summoners who res, so I can focus on tank, and everyone else. Also appreciate when melee dps mark adds when the tank doesn't feel the need to. I also notice when they don't, but I can already tell I'll be voting for dps the majority of the time.

Why are people crying about a system that isn'T even implemented yet? For which nothing's been revealed. Why the eff are people sulking over mere MVP points that will likely only score some useless (cool looking), novelty items?

Unless they put a mount that has a 2x sprint speed, (unlikely)... Otherwise, there pretty much is zero impact on anything. Just do DF as usual and become a useful member of the team. And get freebies as a sort of side reward.

In an effort to address some of your concerns we confirmed some information with the UI team we'll share with you all here:

The MVP vote takes place specifically after a dungeon boss is defeated. The process is entirely voluntary and players can choose not to make any vote at all. It is with this design in mind that we hope players only use the MVP system to reward helpful and exceptional players and encourage users to work towards that goal to receive a vote.

Aight, that's all I wanted to know.
Thanks!

so i wonder how many people will join in progress at the end beat the boss leave without voting and get a vote up rinse repeat not giving any votes and getting lots and lots of votes. (unless you're unable to do that going off as long as the boss dies at the end you get to vote)

well at least if the items are either untradable or completely worthless it wouldn't matter if people vote at all.

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

the reason people will be unhappy with it is because of how many will try to do their best to abuse rig or trick the system to benefit them definitely if it gives good items.

because if it does it will do the exact opposite of what they want to happen.

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?
