What can we do - Solutions to the community problems

[ventlus]

I've been thinking about something like this. Maybe some kind of badge system where you can rate other DF players and if they get a good rating they'll get extra tomes or XP or gil or something.

no offense but it seems pretty stupid to give extra rewards to people that are positive players, but bad at what they do. Its just some people that take it to the extremes, some people just being trolly because they have a sarcastic sense of humor, and others trying to be serious. If you joined pugs the same thing would happen, its up to you to have weak skin or strong one. but i think alot of the truly negative players will dissapear soon because of sub, or their bored until more content comes out

I agree with this. The OP says most of the "bad apples" are around 50 now, mostly because they have run the content countless times by now and find it cumbersome when other 50's aren't playing their role or haven't researched a fight (which I can kind of understand, even though I'm still mid level).

When the subs begin to take effect, there will be a decrease in population, which I can only speculate will include mostly lvl 50's that rushed to the end and got bored after saying "first!!!11!" in the comments. It might then take a few months to weed out the negative nancy's and debbie downer's, but in the end (as with most MMOs), it will be a population of the more die hard fans; the ones that want to play for entertainment, not because they jumped on a bandwagon.

Just give it some time.

Let me get this straight.. Are you saying that if you are a positive and friendly player you automatically have to be bad at playing? Also.. What should we reward players for? Playing good? Or helping to contribute to a positive game experience? I don't care if I wipe if I'm playing with my FC friends I know we will make it into a fun time even if we wipe 20x times.

You know.. with the reaction you come remarkeble close to the people you are complaining about.
First of all, she isnt even remotely implying friendly =bad player.
2nd your blacklist idea is horible, its a doorway for exploiting. You are making it easier for toxic players to grief you.
WE are the community, we lose this batttle only if we let these lesser elements get the better of us.

How?

Also, obviously if we did have a wall of shame it would have to be moderated strictly, I don't think it would be abused much however.
