This is just a idea:
In game there is a way to report bad players, but what about the good ones? If somebody makes you think they deserve to be reported in a good way... Why isn't there a way to do so? Some people really help me out alot and I always want to refer him for going out of his way to do something good.
This is just a little thing I thought of while I was in game and I thought it was a pretty good idea.

Ehh...I see how this idea could help out a bit...although it would be strange to see someone say "Dude I'm reporting you" when that person was doing something good. I'd say I'm used to reporting people who are violating the terms and such.
Perhaps not reporting, but praising...

Yeah and after you accumulate so many points you get a vanity item for worthy players of been praise but i think people will violate the system too and give it to people who dont deserve it

This is exactly what I thought of as soon as I saw this thread.

What if you would have to write out a summary of what they exactly did to be nice.

Would be easily abusable. Get friends to do for you or pay others.

You mean a “Like” button? What prevents someone gaming that, when they can create as many free accounts as they want?

Although it's an awesome idea, what about making a toon then just referring then repeating :/ a solution around that

Guys guys guys. Look at the simple already used reporting system. Support loves details and they only read details reports. So if this is such a brilliant idea(which indeed it is) why not just have the same system they do now but for 'good'. You couldn't report yourself. Because they check accounts

One thing I noticed about the current reporting system that I don't understand. AFAICT, the only way to submit a detailed report is to click on the user—but I can't take the time to do that in the middle of a campaign! If I use /report, is there a way to add detail?

I like this idea. I see it could be abused though which is a bit of a shame. I'm imagining the buttons close together too- accidentally pressing the wrong button could be a problem lol. I still like the idea though; a 'thank' or 'praise' button would be cool.

Why have rewards??? Just maybe after you referred the person, they could read your thanks, and the devs would get a heads up.

People also violate the system and report people who dont deserve it also. Should we remove reporting? Why do you guys have think of something negative as soon as you see something that might be a good idea.. Think of the bright side for once.

Although it's an awesome idea, what about making a toon then just referring then repeating :/ a solution around that just make it to where you cant refer your account on the same device it was created on. Anything that is created will always have flaws. Just put in ideas on what you can do instead of posting reasons on why you should not do it.
Ahh. We can also
have a dislike button so. If the person is a scammer or an offender, people can see his status and decide whether they should stay away or be more careful. Getting a heads up you could say.

Well, it seems like a good idea in theory, but I've seen an automated reputation system in one other game and it seemed to lead to people "farming" likes. As soon as you joined the game as a new player, some veteran tried to strike a deal to power level you if you "honored" him or whatever it was called. In PL there are already tons of people begging for gold and power leveling. I bet with this system they'll also be standing around begging for "likes", or selling favors or gold in exchange for likes.
As for sending the devs a detailed message about how the player helped you, that sounds great if the devs have the time to review it. My guess is they may be too busy to read through all the tickets they would get.

Because they can check accounts and trace back to who got u praised :) so you cant cheat the system

I can't stand how I have to do a whole email to report someone, exit the app and everything, so I do this:
/report (name) (reason)
I know it works with jus the name, you get a message, but I don't know if there is a reason area or not. Hope so.
