so i started the ranked season with 50 karma. im in gold rank 4 now and i have lost all but 18 karma. 

you go a different way than someone like at the start "your a noob" loose 2 karma

you disagree with someone  and they start calling your parentage into question loose 2 karma

you dont carry the first player killed loose 2 karma

be the first one to  die in a battle loose 2 karma

you have a bad game loose 2 karma

you get bad rng shooting at a broadside cruiser your a noob loose 2 karma

you come first in a battle and someone thinks you did it to save your star loose 2 karma

 

even when you win and your team thinks you didnt do well as in my last game where i tanked 2 million damage and unfortunatly got focused by 2 thunderers and a yamo at the start of the match....loose 2 karma

 

however you win a game come first with 200k damage 2 million tanked and 2 kills  nothing....not thank you ...no you played well...nothing no increase in karma. to get karma in this game its either a good player who gives a compliment because hes a good player recognizing a good play...of you have to kill everyone cap everything and carry everyone before you even get thought of getting compliments

 

the karma system reinforces negativity on a massive scale. and only gives bitter and angry players a away to feel better about then selves. it promotes toxicicity and needs removing.

 

being afk should stay...and the game should be able to pick up on that

reporting someone for toxic chat should be kept 

but being able to report someone for poor play and unsportsman like behaviour is being abused so much its unfair. 

 

loosing karma because someone doesnt like where you put your ship should not be a thing a comment from wargaming would be good plz

Loosing karma means...well, nothing. Really. Some people even use mod, that hides your karma number. :Smile_Default:

Focus on game, enjoy it and do not watch your karma. That is last thing you should worry about.

 

And do not expect compliments after good gameplay. You can be reported even by enemies you killed.

 

Good luck :Smile_honoring:

the fact you can report the red team for playing poorly makes this whole thing obsolete...pretty much carried the team to victory in ranked a couple times in wooster, result, on average 2 reports per match.

And it means nothing.

Why worry?

That someone in the game doesn´t like you? Ignore it.

Just play. :Smile_honoring:

Karma exists as a vent to try and encourage people to give meaningless -1 rather than exploding in chat and potentially creating even more work for the support teams. Lets face it we have all been reported by some sensitive soul who we killed and they think it’s cheating to shoot back at them.

 

Karma is worthless except for the very trivial point about having more reports/ compliments if you have over a hundred karma. So don t let it bother you. 

 

Also if you do care about karma, then do remember to compliment people who played well or played for the team.

I can see the problem right there...

incidently, i tend to get +karma carrying in bronze :Smile_trollface: I guess all the [edited] are going into gold because they think they are the best players in the world, while boasting a staggering 40% WR, which is ofc, not their fault.

Observing all that what you did and still caring about karma is an oximoron isnt it?

Karma is ok. Any hit from CV = -1 to her. This means nothing, but it's more civilized then swearing.

Theres no downside to being Neg-repped so why bother caring. I stay silent in chat, do my thing, make people explode and go to the next match. no chat bans gained. I let my guns express my feelings, well except CV's, they get an automatic -1 as I've no other way of retaliating beyond playing my Halland ...

Karma is completely meaningless and has zero consequence.

 

My mistake was expecting someone to finally notice and make a post about it :fish_palm:

When something is so meaningless then why somebody is writing about it ? Mayby becouse many things in life has zero consequences but still we care about it.

My advice to you is, let your karma get to zero and keep it there - and be free. These little online stars mean nothing. They say nothing about you, they don't make you more loved or popular. Ignore them.

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Everything is OK.

All work as they should be. Faulty MM "formula", lies and laughing on our faces from WeeGreedy, gamble on a PEG7 game, scums. All what WeeGreedy represents.

the art in that is that you need to balance your rage and actions - so that you will get reported but not chatbanned :)
