    Yeah, making it cross-content and good could be difficult, but I think the benefit to the community would be important. If I were to have my druthers, I'd roll it out on an individual basis first and then adjust to be global if it seemed to be working out.

    You could also have both: affinities for specific events, and a global "karma" rating that basically tallies all events you've ever done and has a very subtle pull on things all the time. Like... 1% per 1000 points, or something.

    Also, to make it work correctly, all raid drops would need to be passable... which obviously isn't the case now.

    I think that raid drops would have to not be passable, but rather that each person would get thier own chest, like in Primal fights, I wouldn't want to do CC 22 times then have DL drop to someone else in a pick-up that's never been in before. Each player getting their own unique chest so that their "karma" rating only affected their own drops seems a better way to go about this.
