I think it would not be impossible to add an extra score sheet so when you want to rate a player you have to do so on a variety of things, politeness, playstyle, knowledge of the game are things that just come to mind. From this an overal score could be gotten. <br /><br />How many scores sounds more like a like/dislike function. Like it's done with websites for example, or forum posts, or for that matter...comments :)Sweetcherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904742253394231819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-58864486809133753582010-12-03T21:38:15.340+01:002010-12-03T21:38:15.340+01:00In my opinion, there are various trust issues.

Maybe they have the basic skills needed to fake peer score; unlike GS there is no way to verify they did not.<br /><br />Another, how do I know the player was rated on something that was important to me? Maybe if there was more than one metric - let's say patience (do they drop group after first wipe despite it was caused by them and blame someone else?), politeness, gear etc. You mentioned GS - that addon does not provide a single metric either. I understand a lot of players wish for a magic number that would tell them everything but I think world just doesn't work that way. Of course, it is quite easy to downgrade a player on all scales just because he didn't have 6000 GS in ICC or something.<br /><br />It would be interesting to display how many up/downs has the user given too. If someone downgrade 5 people each day for weeks or months with no upgrades, the chance they are just that unlucky is not very high I think.Imaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-74677521182821156642010-12-03T21:03:57.357+01:002010-12-03T21:03:57.357+01:00The trust metric sites are rather interesting.

Sort of like gatherer. <br /><br />Subjective, yes. Voting down and up would keep it in balance, and mostly you would meet people who hang around that 1000 score I think. <br /><br />And any one character can only receive a max of 5 votes per day. Meaning that if you would only receive negatigve votes it would still mean a lot of days to go down. <br /><br />It's an interesting thought to use it guild restricted. It would mean that you can see how your guildies have rated other players. <br /><br />That notes thing is it shareable?

DPS who'd be voted down for being bottom on recount in a levelling dungeon. Healers could get negative reviews when they ran out of mana or couldn't keep people standing in the wrong place alive...<br /><br />I'd love to use a guild-restricted version though, where I could optionally choose to receive data from trusted players. It would mean that the PeerScore I saw for someone might be very different to the PeerScore *you* saw for someone, but if we have different perceptions of what's acceptable (which we might) then we could both still benefit.<br /><br />I do use an addon called "Have We Met" which lets me easily rate people I meet in the DF or PuGs, and add a quick comment. I'm not attempting to classify every single person I meet or anything silly like that, but it lets me make a note of anyone extremely pleasant or extremely unpleasant, and adds this info to the player tooltip. A useful crutch for my lousy memory :)theanorakhttp://www.mysteriousbuttons.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-91897266618350843642010-12-03T14:17:56.096+01:002010-12-03T14:17:56.096+01:00I would use an addon like this although I don'...I would use an addon like this although I don't know how you would achieve it technically. How would the addon know that someone else had voted someone down (or up) unless you happened to be present when they did it? <br />Assuming this could be solved then the only other issue I see is the subjective nature of the addon. Some people could be voted down due to poor performance and then later voted up for being a nice guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
