Guild Wars 2

Both League of Legends & Dota 2 have a commendation system in place where you give thumbs ups to players who either play well, are friendly, show excellent teamwork, etc.

I was wondering if it would be possible to implement this into GW2 in the near future?

I realize we already get more rewards for winning rather than losing, but being able to thumbs up other players who help you out during the heat of battle is such an excellent way to give your allies a pat on the back.

SWTOR has a system exactly like you described and it never worked as it should. Players simply give commendations to their friends. Pretty sure same thing would happen in GW2, specially if players were to be rewarded for earning commendations.

Also, pvp is too chaotic, I don’t believe most players pay attention to who’s doing a good job or not, except for the score, which isn’t a good indicator of ones efectiveness in the game.
