Get rid of the Karma System

[NewRetroSunk]

Isn't it time to just get rid of it?  Cannot see any benefit to anyone apart from players getting upset if you destroy their ships/think you could play better/ and just being toxic and just giving you a negative cos they can .  If there were rewards for having high karma, I get it but been playing for over 3 years and haven't seen the point

It is dead easy to get rid of it - simply pay no attention. Don't ever look it up.

 

It works brilliant, I can testify.

That is true mate.  I have to get some tape to cover the bit up when I go and sell my pointless camo's!

IIRC there's a mod which removes that number by your account name in port.

Or fudges it to 999.

It's so pointless that people you are the most likely to report probably already have 0 karma anyway. I often don't bother anymore.

 

It's nice to give and receive however. You have a nice teamate or opponent, you can give that compliment. It feels good to give, and it's always nice to see that little notification in the bottom right when you receive it.

"Hey, someone appreciated what I did! Neat."

When such a great part of the playerbase seem to run on salt or to be mentally absent, it's a nice change of pace.

 

Mine seem to be stuck around 380 (Just like my skills, which seem to not really improve anymore. Ah well.). Receiving reports and compliments has become extremely inconsistent.

Ultra carry with 3k base exp in ranked? Super toxicity in chat? Nothing.

Play just ok? Basic team communication? Get a report/compliment.

 

Ignore it if you don't like it.

Just for the aspect of giving and receiving positive karma, I'd like to keep it.

Being good to each other is already rare in this game as it is...

You can't get rid of it. I have to see when it climbs over 5 that I know when to start to insult people again to get it down to -2 where it belongs.

-2 ? You're not having negative karma reviews in wows karma website. Checked it now.

Karma-based matchmaking would be great, everything then would be in fast motion.

The reward for high karma is that you have more reports/compliments.

I'm sure he can bring a sane, eloquent and meaningful perspective to this discussion 

[tocqueville8]

I think it's fine.

 

Most of my -1s surely come from my (still too common) early-game blunders, or being snarky in chat at any point. So I can't really complain.

 

Ok the other hand, it's nice to get a +1 in most carries, or just most wins with nice teamwork, and +3 or more for the rare, clutch play near the end.

[Sir_Sinksalot]

You didn't do what the clueless noob told you to do. Have a report.

 

Your crime is still being alive towards the end of the lost battle. Have a report. 

 

You didn't sail your DD into a cap being flanked by an enemy radar cruiser. Have a report.

 

You didn't sail your BB flank speed into 3-5 enemy ships and win the flank solo while the same guy reporting you did and died or sits behind an island not supporting you. Have a report.

 

You play a CV. Have a report.

 

You play a sub. Have a report.

 

You played well but noob teammate can't tell the difference. Have a report.

 

You carried the team to victory. Have a report

 

You did nothing wrong but butthurt teammate who just died on the other flank needs to vent. Have a report.

 

You sank enemy ship. Have a report by enemy player.

 

You clicked battle. Have a report.

 

Ya. All seems good and solid with the Karma system.

Your olde screenie of "Karma of the beast" would seem appropriate right about now.

Karma works fine for me...

Try playing submarine and say things in chat like "I just like the ping sound", that's karma iron man mode.

Ngl I'm (sometimes) toxic in Operations and still I get complimented ... 

[Yosha_AtaIante]

I gained 11 Karma since in my solo sessions I played mostly Smalland and Des Moines. I'm quite suprised how wholesome the community is. Need to go back to playing CV clearly. Any number above 0 at Karma makes me uneasy
