I know, that what I will describe below is not the most urgent thing we all think of, but I think I would appreciate a function to commend other players for good teamwork, exceptional skill etc.
Perhaps these commendations should be visible to other players as badges of honor, just like ‘likes’ and such things in social media.
There are many threads about misbehaving people and how to deal with such things.
But Pawlow gave us not only negativ inhibition but also positive reinforcement.
What brought this idea to my mind was an imho exceptional player I had the honor/fun to play with today. Three of the team (including me) were wiped in the middle of a map’s section and all if us spawned close to the end of that said section. No big deal, if there would not have been a horde (including some Crushers and Bulwarks) and a Beast of Nurgle.
He fought his way skillfully to the filthy bunch of us and saved the game - we were quite estonished as was exchanged in chat.
Might be, some of you think it not to be a big deal, well some of us do. So why not reward such players for their skill to encourage them. And to go a little further, why not reward good teamplay?
Doesn’t hurt anybody and has the chance of creating a healthy player ecosystem…
I must say I’m kind of sick of players ragequiting cause they deem the others not worthy of their exalted company (as I had in another game today), but I would like to try the other way - instead of blocking, let’s try to honor (publicly) good behaviour.
And yes that said system would need its “checks and balances” I know, but actually im typing this as a quick shot and I did not plan that system out to the very end…
Perhaps you all might have some good ideas to add how to develope such a thing.
