PLAYER RATING SYSTEM!!!

[Nevrath]

When someone is doing a good job, no one says anything.

When someone screws up, everyone lunges at his throat.

This exactly.
I know if i make a single silly mistake and everything else is fine and i run the dungeon the first time i will get a bad rating from someone in the group. If i run the dungeon having a perfect run with never once lost aggro, always marking, no snarkiness, no death, no waking up slept mobs on mrd no one would eva care to go on lodestone and give a like. Thats just how people are.
Everyone loves pitchforks.

My issue with this is the same as everyone else's. It would most likely get abused.
A vote to kick feature would be at least somewhat better(although probably abused as well). If a party votes to kick you then fine whatever you can re-queue and move on with your life but if someone gives you a bad player review, no matter if you deserved it or not, it will stay with your character.

Jerks would rate nice people as the lowest possible score to spite them for not being in a constant state of rage and sorrow like they are.

OP u mad bro?

Such a feature would be unfair and biased. You could have done nothing wrong and someone could simply give you negative marks because they don't like your character's race/class/job/appearance/posture/<insert other dumb reason here>

I would be happy with a DF /blist

If they had to implement something like this, it should just be a thumbs up/down button next to each player’s name. thumbs down would be self explanatory, thumbs up would be “highly recommend”, no response would just not count.

And it could also go both ways for the voter. They could keep a record of how often this voter/player ‘thumb’s down’ and if the player excessively thumbs down everyone else in the party every dungeon runs, then they’d either be blocked from voting for a few dungeons or a few days and in addition earn a thumbs down on their own record.

The good part is that you’d only be able to vote DURING dungeons and only if you’ve progressed at least 15 minutes into the dungeon already

I agree with the point everyone's making. If there's a way for this sort of system to be abused it will be abused. No negative 'reviews'.

So how about if there's only a way to leave a positive review? Non-mandatory. You know, if you enjoyed playing with this person, give him/her a +1. Sure, not everyone will bother but some will (I know I would if I were impressed with the person's attitude/ability to play their class/etc.).

Oh and make it so it can only be done once for any given player by any given player, so people don't have their buddies bump their rating frivolously.

It's a neat idea, OP. Really it is.

But, I dont think it will ever happen. Not with the rampant immaturity several players have in game.

Not anytime soon, anyways...

Aion actually sorta had a thing where you could pull up people's character profiles to look up their gear + stat, etc. but, you could also leave COMMENTS on their profile. This being a PvP oriented game, and myself playing an assassin those comments were usually made by upset players. Not that I minded. Some were rather funny. Something along the lines of "You gonna need a rocket or a ladder that's foreva to get on my level" - quality comments like that. Eventually it became such an issue that they removed the comment feature entirely. I admit I was a little disappointed because I took every rage comment as a badge of honor, but a lot of people didn't quite see it that way I guess.

Lineage 2 had a thumbs up system. If you got enough thumbs up your name would change blue which would indicate people liked you. It was a neat idea except you'd just bug your friends to thumbs up you. Or in some cases some people would pay strangers to thumbs up them.

I dunno OP, even yelp has people exploiting it. I doubt any real useful rating system could come from a video game, especially since you're dealing with people who can change and learn on the fly, opposed to companies stuck in bad business practices.
