    While I understand the good intentions of this system, I think it's just going to lead to further abuse from players, especially tanks and/or healers that can hold the group hostage to give them good votes since they basically hold the fate of the group in their hands. I'm not saying this will become commonplace, but there certainly seem like there are enough bad apples out there for this to be a daily topic on the forums.

    What SE needs to do is take a stronger stance on the Harassment reports that people make. SE reps have flat out said that people AFKing in dungeons are not against their terms of service. THAT is what they need to fix.

    I dont see how the hostage scenarios are feasible, voting logically would be at the end- and anonymous. Doing it any other way would be silly.. lol

    Yeah... If someone demands I vote for them at the end or they wont heal/tank, I'll gladly say "Sure" and not vote for them based on that behavior alone... I really don't get how anyone is going to abuse this system in such a way...

    Well let's see... MVP Vote happens AFTER the run has concluded... this means that if someone tries to 'hold the group hostage' all they have to do is verbally aquiesce and then they can just not vote for that person... run has already finished, so there is nothing the tank/healer can do except whine and cry. I suppose they can make a character on each server of other players and make a false claim against them, but I think SE is smart enough to figure out the truth behind it.
