random Duty Finder groups - Square Enix attitude solution INC

This didn't work for League of Legends, it has essentially this same system, and one of the WORST most troll infested communities of any game, personally I feel this won't really change anything, just get people (who are probably nice anyway) pets/mounts/etc.

I would actually like to see a percentile system instead of just one vote per person. And there would be an option to give a 0% to people who were trolling. Whomever got the most percentage would be the MVP.

[texhnolyze]

this would be sufficient
yes the trolls/bad mannered players will not be punished, but at least they won't have those exclusive armors/mounts/pets, etc
if they want it, they have to change their manner, at least for the DF
they can troll/rage all they want on their own server

I think the MVP system is decent, though like many mentioned, it lacks the punishing factor. I really don't see why there is a need to disregard a downvote. Is it because of abuse? Is it because people don't know what consists of a legitimate downvote? I guess the lack of downvote kind of indicates the lack of faith SE have towards the players.

Let's look at at the downvote. Currently the voting system will be open at the end of a random DF group. Due to the random factor involved in the DF and MVP system, abuse/wrongful downvotes will be uncommon, thus eradicating these outlier votes is quite easy to do. There are so many systems that can control these uncommon anomalies.

An example would be to have a system that awards ONE negative point if a player receive X amount of votes for every 10 votes received (where X is equal to a outlier threshold). Say the threshold is 4 negative votes. After several runs and after receiving 10 votes, a tally is done. A player who receives 4 negative votes out of the 10 will have a negative point attached to his account. On the other hand, if a player receives 3 negative votes, there is no negative point. Of course this threshold can be whatever number SE wants it to be, so long as it is actually a fair number and account for outliers based on some statistical studying.

The idea behind this is simple. If a player is really a bad/negative player, he/she will receive a larger percentage of his/her run as negative compared to neutral/positive players.

As to how to punish people with negative votes, that's the easy part. As long as there is a solid/reliable system in place, you can have any kind of punishment.

This can also be used for positive votes.

Well...if we were worthy of such faith, we wouldn't need such a system to begin with....

Check this out guys

I don't see why some people are complaining about this upcoming feat. Even if people aren't genuinely nice, it is giving them a reason to not be obnoxious or "troll" in a duty. You can be rewarded for being nice or pretending to be nice, and in the end this will cause more communication without conflict which will overall decrease chances of wipes and leavers.

Also, people who hit level 50 would have a reason to revisit lower leveled dungeons/ helping players. I think this will allow lowbies to get through content without waiting for crazy queue timers because most players are already at endgame. This could be abused by just spamming Sastasha, but including a diminishing return (only getting a rating from the same dungeon twice a day) would fix that. Level 50's should be recognized once they enter the dungeon as a level 50 character, so that party members can say "Wow, this person is level 50 and revisiting here to help me? Here, take my up vote."

So in the end, I think this might be a great system if implemented in this way.

I think they should make Coil armor(or something even better) purchasable with MVP points, people would be crapping rainbows everyone would act so nice. Minions and the like are nice but you gotta get something more meaty to make the kids with behavioral disorders to play nice with the other kids in the sandbox.

[KhalidTheGreat]

I just dont understand why they'll make mvp spendable on mounts or minions.

It should be like a reputation system, And players with higher mvp should have queue priority. That way players will have to be nice / considerate / helpful.

Some players dont care about minions and mounts. And what if a player gets all of these items and dont care anymore about mvp?

I just dont think purchasing certain items with your reputation is the way to go.

i DON'T know HOW to FEEL about THIS because YOU typed YOUR whole POST like A machine BEEP boop

[FrionielHope]

This sounds really annoying. I like to collect cosmetic items so it's going to result in me spamming the shortest guildhest I can over and over each day to get enough mvp points to buy stuff. Also I get the feeling people will put on a front for the points and not actually change their overall attitude. Also it encourages doing things with pugs as opposed to running with people from your fc or linkshells or whatever. I don't know, I just cant see it working out well
