Kvei Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Why bother listing it? It's arbitrary who gets the votes if people vote at all. What I've noticed is most the time people will only vote if they win and if there are 2 or more people in the same guild on the same team then they vote for each other. Most solo matches win or lose, maybe 1 or 2 people will vote. It's not like MVP votes mean anything in the long run when it comes to rating. Hell, I've gotten to the point I give my vote automatically to a merc dps or mara who is still willing give ranked pvp a go knowing the current state of things.

Kalarie Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Why not list it? Stats are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedImage Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Why not list it? Stats are fun. I agree, stats are fun. Useless stats are not however. MVP=useless Guildies vote for Guildies Losers rarely vote Being top DPS/Heals does not an MVP make. Most medals does not = MVP necessarily either. If they would be willing to allow some useful stats that would be great. I'd love to know which classes I do best/worst against. Not a perceived best/worst, but a statistical one. That would be great. How many wins AND LOSSES would be nice. Solo Kills? Assisted kills? NC matches played? VS matches played? How many of those matches were won/lost? How many door caps did I get? Did I interrupt any? Wonder how many nodes I've capped on CW? How about on all maps combined? I wonder how many arenas Ive been in? I wonder how many times I've left matches before they are over? How many times have scored or completed a pass in huttball? How often do I "really" die to X class? I wonder how many stats we could be enjoying but aren't afforded the opportunity to see them when BW could provide them to us....prolly pretty easily? I wonder why they don't list a TON of stats I know they have/keep. I'm sure the cookie answer would be to not breed poor feelings toward others due to poor rankings or not wanting to bring attention to a players shortcomings or blah blah blah....PC this PC that..... I would LOOOOVE for them to give us more stats. I recall writing a pretty hefty post about asking for more stats during beta....I think they gave a "cookie" style answer then too.

Kalarie Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I see a lot of reasons why you think it's not useful to you, but no reason not to list it. So it doesn't hold credibilty to who is actually a great player. Ok, we all know that. It's still fun to have listed. It creates a lot of fun conversations.

AlrikFassbauer Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 MVPs are like Mafia or like Corruption : Given out only in closed circles. Only those who know each other give them to each other - everyone else doesn't get any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JouerTue Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 you right Op, i like stats, i would like more stats indeed..but mvp should be given to something you actually see was a good action more than on numbers or on mere numbers if you feel like the difference has been made by that player, like a tank swapping guard who saved you by a focus, or a healer constantly topping off you because he sees you do dps/protection, a dps shutting down /killing important targets(healers, good enemy dps) or a player playing good the objectives or reacting when incs are called.. like here http://i.imgur.com/dUefSbU.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesixxpack Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) MVPs are like Mafia or like Corruption : Given out only in closed circles. Only those who know each other give them to each other - everyone else doesn't get any. It's true, getting reg MVP votes is a highly prestigious and meaningful accomplishment. If I'm premading I check the super secret Illuminati-issued members only vote list for the day, then consult the Who's Who Guide to MVPs and vote accordingly. If I'm pugging though I usually just vote for the funniest or stupidest toon name. Edited February 24, 2015 by Joesixxpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
