This game needs a player-based rating system

Did you think this through at all? What is to stop people just giving everyone bad ratings. What'd be better is either don't play with people who you don't like playing with or report them. I'm not sure if something is in place, but letting the game take screenshots itself with the print screen key and then able to upload those with some additional information to do a report on someone who is been abusive.

You can't do much about those people who are just tools, just don't play with them. The ones that get really abusive, take screenshots and report them.

apparently you haven't seen any of my previous posts

Zimbizle gets my first -infinity attitude rating.  if I am allowed that....

Falcontx made something like this for supreme commander fairly recently. He's running it on his own web server. I guess the fact that it's optional filters out most of the idiots though. A complete tool wouldn't take the time to go download this thing. It's an extremely cool system.

it would be better if you could rate players as a personal reminder, rather than have it shared publicly

thats a much better idea

I would like it if it worked for yourself. If I play against a complete tool or with one, I'd score him low on atitude, and well likely won't play with him again. But an open public system is just begging for abuse. Player A bad reps Player B, Player B gets whole guild and allies and friends to bad rep Player A.

This would only work in fantasy land.
