Guild Wars 2

Idea for ranked pvp.
Adding karma system to pvp team likes u get +1 karma
Team dislikes u in team and thinks cause of u team failed u get -1 karma
Enough minus karma u will be banned to ranked pvp for certain amount of time and your karma is reset.

Please no, I’d be banned for life just for playing warrior.
It would also add sooooooo much toxicity to matches. People would always try to find a scapegoat for a collective failure and more often than not this will end up punishing a single player who might not deserve it at all.

Lol no. You’d have idiots that would down voted just cause they think that you’d do something wrong in their eyes but in actuality it was them. I think we can all see how this could go….

Something similar could be put into the game, but not this way

Sorry, but this would be a terrible idea. Surely you’ve seen for yourself, how awful and oblivious to their own actions (or lack thereof), some people in the PvP community are.

The ones that instantly blame their team mates for losing the match, start cursing in chat etc, would just abuse the system and report everyone, in every game they lose. We’ve seen multiple times now, people saying the people they get teamed up with are the cause of them losing games, but then upon inspection of their gameplay, it’s actually them that aren’t playing well.

This idea works great on ESEA wich is real competive pug gaming

I play thief. I would end up serving jail time in real life as a result from all the reports.

From ESEA

The Karma System is a method of community self-policing, and is primarily based on users ranking their experience with players in-game. Users start with a neutral (0) karma level, and that level is affected by the following actions.

Positive Karma:
If the majority of teammates rate their experience with you as positive, you receive +1 Karma for that pug.
Negative Karma:
If the majority of teammates rate their experience with you as negative, you receive -1 Karma for that pug.
Leaving a pug (-1, -2, -4, -8, increases with each pug leave)
Having a post nuked (-10)

Be a good teammate and you’ll earn your +Karma, be a troll and you’ll find yourself in Karma Cleanup faster than you’d think! Remember, every pug you play is a potential addition or subtraction to your Karma level, however if your teammates rank you neutrally, then you will receive neither positive or negative Karma for that pug.

and it works great on there and i dont see a reason why it would not work great in GW2 Ranked games also. I keep getting alot of team mates who r testing builds or doing just daily and dont know how to play their class etc or just raging and afking, and the report system does not really work good if u seen it.
On karma way the player self action can effect their personal karma and if the community sees hes trolling he gets banned from ranked pvp for lets say 3 days and if it repeats a lot in short time ban could just be longer.

Remember word “if the majority” of teammates experience you as negative you receive -1"

So from 5 man team if 1 guy is trolling and abusing karma system you don’t get minus karma

I’d say just let dishonour deal with it. Maybe dishonour could be brought in if somebody stays in vase too long, like if it could flag up if you stay behind the gate for a certain amount of time. Hey, if you stay in base for the entire match then although you don’t get dishonour yet you aren’t helping the team any more than if you log off.
If players could rate you and have you timed out then there would be too many problems. Say after loosing a match, how many players are going to take the time to vote, good, good, good, good? One decides to vote bad, bad, bad, bad, they re the only one who votes so everyone else gets negative karma. Or all 5 think that they were the only good player, the rest of the team were responsible for the loss. Though maybe they would deserve that.

Really good and interesting system. I hope KARMA would be public.

With a Karma threshold, (let’s say 20 negative) you could convert that into dishonored stack.

I would like to get a Category section on the KARMA screen something along:

Negative Karma:

1- Verbal Abuse
2- AFK
3- Trolling (not serious about game)
4- Need to learn more.
5- Play meta class.

Of course, the 4 and 5 should not give negative karma point.

Positive Karma:

1- Great communication.
2- Did Carry the match on rotation.
3- Outstanding 1v1 potential.
4- Did learn me something new.
5- Creative great none-meta build.

I agree that it would need a majority of negative karma to get -1. Because people can do that to troll or hate other players they know about.

I would say… blocked players should not be able to get (from you) or send (to you) KARMA.
