The absurdity of the reporting system summed up

[bloodynicknames]

I was in Wooster, and there was this, pretty good(63%) dude in a DM. 

He tried to Island Camp but thanks to woosters shell arc that didnt quite work out for him.

Whenever he attempted DD spotted him and in came the rain of fire. 

Didnt kill him cause he ran away but did 40k damage to the dude in total. 

Ended the game with 115k, couple defenses and on top of my team but we lost, could be worse. 

 

I come back to port and, naturally, "You were reported" x2, it was either him or his division buddy in a Yamato that I did substantial damage to, I knew that. 

 

But, luckily there is personal messages to erase all doubt. 

 

Now, just to make this clear, I didnt say anything at all in chat, its disabled. 

I literally did nothing but play my ship and deprived him of his camping spot and easy DD kills cause I was backing our DD up.

His team won and he got 3 kills. 

 

The whole Idea of the reporting system in its current form is absurd and only serves the purpose to provide a Vent for salty bois that cant cope with the fact that sometimes they get outplayed.

Congratulations you figured it out.

This is the only reason the system is in the game.

 

I for one save my reports for CV's doesn't matter if they are good or bad I report them because I want them to know that they are playing an unwanted class and are ruining the game for others.

So Karma is important to you?

I dont get it, what's the problem?

 

This is the highest honor one can get in online gaming; another player is so tilted, that he's remembering your player name and send you a private message after the game. Make a screenshot and save it, it is worth more than 500 anti-detonation flags

But see, thanks to you he got only 48k damage (you can guess the name on one of the screenshots - and since i knew the clan i could find the player) so you deprived him of his SuPeRuNiCum DaMaGe!!!

I think they got blinded by this weeb sh*t :D

@bloodynicknames Fan mail! Cherish such occasions. It means you did well.

[WorthyOpponent]

Had a similar thing in my last game. A Montana got very salty and everything he wrote in the chat was this:

 

"Minotaur you want -1?"

2 minutes later

"Minotaur -1"

 

2 more minutes later

"Somers you're useless as..."

"Somers -1" 

 

It's only sweet irony that the Montana who did this was the 3rd worst player of the team and the Somers he accused was the 3rd best. Mino was just the enemy light cruiser doing their job and pumping out damage. 

[lovelacebeer]

Reporting someone for killing you or being outplayed is the final recourse for those with a sensitive disposition. 

 

Anyway why worry, no matter matter how much karma you stockpile can’t use it for anything useful.

Lol, well as  cat owner (3 British Short hairs) I find the camo some what amusing, but it obviously pi88ed them off greatly  

[VedranSeaWolf359]

I report only half match AFK start position camp idiots and rude players on last match I have one of these AFK in BB JPN

[HystericalAccuracy]

I started observing my karma for entertainment purposes. Last week of ranked I gained on average +1 per game in ranked, while getting -1 per game in random. I have no idea why, wat haa... In recent weeks I also started getting reported in co-op which is absolutely insane.

 

I guess it is like in road-traffic; many people are not sure about regulations and go by "I have the bigger car, therefore..." and when I don´t stop for them they get furious and honk at me (same useless mechanic as our karma-thingy). Doesn´t change that I had the right of way, therefore... who cares about their honking 

 

And who cares about reports

[PaP_Mentoles]

And I just got reported for this...

 

[MementoMori_6030]

Don't think the kid has any karma left, but let's see what support does with this crap... 

[StraightUpYourA]

Why do u care? Can't understand why u should even look at the Karma. It means nothing and should be ignored

I always report anyone (for misbehaviour in chat) who is soliciting others to report players in chat.

 

It is a karma system after all

Tbf, the highest compliment one can get is getting banned because the server admin thinks you are hacking becuase you managed to kill him.

Yours truely even managed to get banned because of knifing the server admin as he was laying down and sniping and didn't notice me coming up, got unbanned a while later and then knifed him again, got banned again this time permanently

There was a mod that showed how much karma the other players had and about 2/3 of players would usually have none.

 

And can still just add them to blacklist. Btw, your comment to the other guy in your screenshot is kinda begging an already agitated greenbeard to retaliate. If someone bothers me so much in the chat, I just block them right away. often I will have the courtesy to tell them I blocked them, but not always depending on how I think he will respond because some can take it fairly well, but some definitely can't.

 

Usually any form of arguing with already upset people will not result in a good vibe for anyone involved and life is too short and precious to waste it on trivial stuff like that.

[Karasu_Browarszky]

Based on my personal observations... most reports come from players who try to cover up for their own abysmal performance and look for a scapegoat.

[JeanLouisII]

I stopped reporting players completely cause it changes nothing if you give a player with 0 carma a -1.

And about 99percent of the players u might wanna report have 0 carma in this game, so they cant even recognize it.

 

Otherwise its funny to see myself getting reports in very good games. That happens a lot, most likely from the players i blapped with my izumo. I see it as a compliment😁

Why do you care? WG reporting system is absolutely useless. Type "well done, do feel manly now?" and carry on.

It is not about karma. Reporting as a system is wrong and needs to be refined (i.e. by getting rid of useless ones). 

A normal person tries to fix/correct when they see something wrong. So, you can take OP's post in this context.

In addition, yes, karma can be important to some people. I don't see why take that away from players just because WG doesn't want to fix their reporting system.

[Panik_im_Schriftbild]

hi together
personaly karma ticks me off big time. u don't know (mostly) for what reason u get a + or -. so you can't even take measures to get better. and i find i very frustating to work hard, wich not always plays out (bad day, just no luck, or made a bad decision wich really was no good gaming...) and earn some + just to loose double the amount in 5 games because of those salty players. 
for my own peace of mind i wish i could just turn off the karma counter, so just to not see it anymore. 
and the same would be nice for the chat, just turn that bloddy thing off if i feel so when it get spammed again with generic messages.
