At this point I've stopped taking this thread seriously, I actually feel embarrassed that I even did so in the first place. You've got people who purposefully feel singled-out by a system that's supposed to be for the good of the community, somehow making it about themselves rather than the new players. Feeling jilted because of the limited metrics they had to use and what made the most sense is ridiculous. You can still help a player out regardless of whether you've got some icon next to your name or not.

Let's all just try and make the game a better place, y'all.
This is why this system will back-fire so quickly...

Right now, the hostile environment in this game doesn't really come into play until you reach lvl 50. With this new system, it's now shoved into the ears of all new players. Many new MMO players will be overwhelmed by the "I rule, so listen up or die, little person" mentality, and will unsub. SE will then be forced to undo the system just to keep new players.
