why is "plays poorly" still up?

[Lithium]

it ridiculous reason to report people for not being good enough for the game, innocent WoWs gamers will get reported or even banned by salty players (hehe salty). why hasnt that option been removed???

[ZileZu]

I don't believe people can get banned for it.

It just affects that persons karma ( as far as i know ) .

I like having that option, i do it to people who just hide in corners ( just an example ) and do not contribute to the match in any way.

[Maj.Tryhard]

Yeah, me too. Usually either for a complete lack of contribution or when a player uses their weapons recklessly. I reported somebody for "Plays Poorly" yesterday because I saw them almost hit two different allies with torps while firing max range at enemies who were brawling with friendlies. The teammate avoided damage both times, so there was no penalty for friendly fire. I felt that they deserved a report for their lack of consideration. Most less-observant players wouldn't have had the awareness to avoid friendly fish while going toe-to-toe with an enemy.

You can't get banned. It's meaningless really. If you want it to go up play well and don't be salty. If you get reported afk or do damage to allies you'll first turn pink as a warning. It has no side effects at all. If you are a habitual offender it will eventually relegate you to coop where you can't sabotage your team so badly.

On a high tier battle I'll rate down people sometimes for doing SUPER badly if we lose. I mean by the time you get to high tier there really isn't an excuse. If you end a battle with 300 xp it's because you are not paying attention AT ALL. There's coop for you!

But I also rate up the top on wins (and sometimes losses). They did the most to carry the team to victory and/or TRIED to actually win. In the end I had out equal amounts of both which, I think, is what it's designed for.

Yeah, most days I use all 7 of my positive and negative reports. On that note: without "Plays Poorly," there would be no "Worthy Adversary." Sometimes an enemy pulls a truly impressive maneuver and they deserve that thumbs up.

Some folks are just terrible in this game and they're not even trying to be good at, so they deserver to be reported.

Its so the salty inconsiderate wannabe elitist subsection of the playerbase has a way to contain their autism and doesnt start spilling over into full rage.


Ive been reported a few times, either by complete worthless tools that dont have 5 seconds of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ patience for someone elses game to load (and sincerely, eat ♥♥♥♥ if you do that, not everyone has a 5000 dollar PC)

Or by people who are just salty they lost their ship and blame it on everyone exept themselves (this is especially prevalent if you're playing a CV or a DD)

Its a useless option that mainly exist as a way to vent and waste someone's karma points.

When i report someone its usually if theyre being a a complete ♥♥♥♥, or are one of those awesome types of players that spilled over from tf2 and keep spamming the same annoying chatbind every second.

as well then.

As said in the other posts it's a way for players to vent, nothing more, nothing less. No-one can get banned through it.

I tend to use Worthy adversary or Plays Well far more often.

yea, only difference is that reporting someone for 'plays poorly' doesnt do anything but reporting someone for 'misbehaviour in chat' will.

[endlessBoogie]

If your are remotely usefull with your ship you wont be reported, thats my experience so far.

If you make a great play you will get the occasional thumbs up.

... but being a failsniper bb, a suicide dd, a radarcruiser with 50 km radar or something like this and you are this kind of player all the time, you get reports.

Haven't got a clue! Probably still quite low due to when I used to get extremely salty in chat, insulting divisions seems to work well for getting negative reports :P

Low. Like 4. I was almost 40 at one point. I know for a fact I got rated down for playing super well the other day. I think the enemy team was wrathful and took vengeance. Doubt anyone on my team did that time. Not to say there hasn't been other times lol

The ''plays poorly'' option is dumb because most of the time it is used by raging players who are venting their anger on someone who are playing just fine but is not doing the bidding of that one toxic player in the team. I have been reported for playing poorly so many times just for playing CV even though I have finished in the top 3.

Reporting someone for actually playing poorly is also useless feature since reporting them for their poor display is not going to improve their skill.

As has been posted before, that's exactly what it's for. For players to rant. If it meant anything it might be dumb, however as it means nothing other than to let players blow off steam, I think it does it's job well.

The report sysrem have it 's good use in some ways? But, can fail too, I was report afk, and got 4 battles sentences, But it's the game that disconnect me! Or, when you sent torpedoes, and a player run to it for 15 seconds, and got hit by them? It's like like some players, don't even know what is around them in battle! They just sail their ships, completly blind of everything else that is in game:)
