I like the idea but you should keep in mind that there are staff out there that dislike certain players and give them a bad reputation for the hell of it.

There's no problem about these points farmers, the staff doesn't need to announce that they added the system. It's only for the staffs duty, no need to let the players know. And I support this idea.
The idea is kind of good but snk currntly as i was told is the only scripter available. And he has been busy with countryside for its release this year. Keep in mind that such thing might actually take a capacity from the server and would cause a bit more lag more than the lag we already got. When the orcs were released in era, the server packed and had to be restarted each 50 hours, the same thing will happen. No new ideas like this would be good for the server. But i assure you if this wouldnt cause lag and the server gets upgraded, its a great idea.
Ideally, reports should be kept anonymous if possible. Although, abusing the reputation system would fall under abusing staff powers and they should get punished for it.Quote:

There'd mainly be an extra variable for keeping track of rep, a way for staff to adjust rep, and the new proposed timer system. Where this falls on the priority list would depend on snk and maybe other staff. If he deems this more important than countryside, than it'd be put at the top. If not I hope at the very least it'd be put on a to-do list for the near future.Quote:

It'd be pretty nice to have a system similar to this.
Plus adding to that this will just cause a non-ending event which will cause people to just hunt one another and cause trouble. Each one will report his friend or enemy just to make good use of it. Everyone will leave everything and just start reporting. Would cause a chaos.
That's the whole point of this suggestion, to stem this kind of chaos.Quote:

In my perspective if this is actually implemented, yeah it shouldnt be announced and the rewards would be money + ecs. not any items to not cause publicity.
No rewards, because then it's more work for the admin when this idea is made to lessen the work on them.Quote:
