random Duty Finder groups - Square Enix attitude solution INC

[Malakhim]

out of pure curiosity, what would be the harm in players being able to turn in "MVP" points for gear?

players may already turn in "tomestones" for gear, so the precedent is already set...

And in fact, I'd be much more supportive of an "MVP" system where people are actually rewarded by the game and other players for skillful play, as opposed to the current system where people can apparently earn said tomes by idling in a dungeon. But I was under the impression that SE WAS adding a system that would encourage players to use more "in-demand" classes like tanks and such in duty finder stuff already. I think I read that on either the Mogcast or Eorzeapedia. It could have been that MVP system, though.

At any rate, I really hope SE takes the current duty finder and player stats and worries as feedback for what type of class they should add next. Maybe they should add a melee "healer" a la dancer or some kind of mage tank. Yes, that last one sounds kind of ridiculous, but not really since as far as I have seen Arcanist, Topaz Carby ain't nothin' to laugh at.

Make repairs purchaseable with mvp tokens and this would work

I like this idea! Along with as you are leaving the dungeon.

Source for this info?

So a squishy tank, unable to hold hate, downgrades the healer....

Ok next idea anyone?

Why waste MVP points on something that is cheap like dark matters?

SE you need to make this happen.

Greetings, everyone!

I'd like to give a brief official overview of the "MVP" system that was announced by Yoshida during TGS, as there is a lot of interest in how this will encourage players to be positive and helpful when using the Duty Finder.

This system is for groups that get matched in the Duty Finder and cannot be used when you pre-make parties to enter dungeons and other content. Once you clear the content, you'll be able to vote for a player you feel was helpful, positive, and friendly.

Accumulating these points will allow you to buy companion armor, new mounts, and other exclusive items.

This system is scheduled to be implemented in patch 2.1, and once further details have been finalized we will be sure to share them with you!

Will there also be a "naughty list"? What if a player queues up with less than a full party; will people that joined with you then be able to vote for you?

Please NO! The last thing I want is to get placed with 3 "elitist" players, and even though I did my job well, them vote me down because I'm not an uber nerd that plays ffxiv 24/7 and expects everyone else to be as good as they are.. No thanks.

I gotta say. I don't like this. I mean, I see why you would want to reward people for being voted on as being nice and all, but this completely excludes players who pre-make parties on their own servers now, from obtaining these specific items as quickly as a random joe schmo who wants to queue up by themselves and wait forever (if they are a dps job). Healers and Tanks will be able to take advantage of this system exclusively, if they act helpful and friendly far quicker than any DPS class that does the same exact thing. This is not a good thing. It is not as good as it sounds in theory.
