random Duty Finder groups - Square Enix attitude solution INC

I don't really think this will really solve the problem, Camate. If all of these rewards are cosmetic like companion armor and such, players will stop caring as soon as they get what they want or they won't care to begin with. The players that are considerate never needed something like this to encourage them to play nice.

It's a nice gesture, but griefers are probably still going to do what they do.

Pay attention to THIS GUY> knows what he talkn about. Don't do this MVP system SE. As a nice guy that hardly ever gets credit for my kindness I am insulted because i wont be the one receiving these awards! Does that change the fact that ima nice guy. NopEEEEEEEE!

wtf is this? don't do the MVP system because people might be nice for a time instead of being a douche all the time?

The key phrase with this MVP system is "for a time"

and how does not adding it help? because for a time is better than what it is now. Besides you don't know how much this "for a time" is, it might be eternal with increasingly awesome rewards for each week or something crazy.

Personally, I'm not against them putting the system in at all, but it won't solve the problem of the griefers, because a lot of these people get their kicks out of ruining other peoples' time, so they don't really care about the vanity stuff (or they do, its just that there's nothing stopping them from going "tonight I'm going to grief, and I'll just play like a normal person tomorrow", which is likely what they already do- griefers especially like the DF because of the high chance you'll never run into that same person again), or they're the people that afk in runs because they want free tomestones (aka I want gear now players).

I'm pretty indifferent to the system since more vanity stuff is cool, I'm just saying that it will only really benefit players that were already being considerate, but won't do anything to stop the players that use DF just to be annoying.

"Oh, you are that guy that didnt vote on me last time we cleared this dungeon! Explain to me why I shouldnt leave right now and queue up with another group in 2 min because I am a tank."
"Vote for me or you go to blacklist"
"Vote for me or I'll wipe us right now"
"Vote for me or I will need on the weapon (although I already have got a far better one equipped)"
Bots voting on each other (easily done: the bots spit out an ID string that the other bots understand)

I am predicting that we will see these things happen pretty fast. I'm not psychic, but I'm not naive neither.

wtf is this?
1)first of all have you ever played with a random twice? and have you remembered their names? and you won't know who voted for you or didn't since it's at the end of the run.
2)you cannot blacklist crossserver
3) you cannot gain MVP until the end of the dungeon, so if you pull that crap you won't get MVP since dungeon will be over.
4) again MVP vote is at the end.
5) you cannot vote MVP with the people you queue up.

you really should read the info before "predicting"

Hmmm... MVP Gear and abilities maybe... I wonder if they will add an Item Level sync for current areas (like CM, Praetorium, WP, and AK), syncing the gear stats down to like 'max 80'...?

[Emper]

SE is trying to be a decent company during indecent times. I like this MVP system, but I'm afraid it's only a half-measure.

Till we have a way to deal with players, who's clear intent is abusing DF and the groups formed therein, problems will continue.

That being said, MVP sounds like a nice reward system that will require more than just grinding mindlessly.

I'm quite worried of people who "try too hard" and that some of these gears will be unavailable for you if you're just the average person. I know it's vanity, but hey, vanity is quite high up there in my want list. I mean people even bought CE.. I can also foresee "vote sellers". I dunno man, don't think this is such an amazing idea..
