Whereas before you could suffer a player's death without any penalty for you besides a bit of time, now the penalty increases. However, adding more shinies for performing well might make normally tolerant players less tolerant, because now there is something more at stake. As it is, there's already a fair amount of players trying to enforce meta builds and perfect party compositions, yet there's still a lot of players who don't mind if people make mistakes or if a fractal takes 2 minutes longer because of it. When you start adding rewards based on performance, it no longer becomes a matter of just completing content, it becomes a question of how well you perform in order to complete it. The issue is that you could turn a minority into a greater majority. The number of "excuses" doesn't really depend on the content or mechanics, it's made up by the toxic people. These people do this for fun, even if you would just sit there and not deal with any content, they would invent situations where they can abuse you. These people already kick you for that kind of stuff, no matter if there's a special reward for a group where nobody dies or not. That's basically the point I was getting at.Īt Ensolyss' orbs. To fix an issue, if you do indeed see it as an issue, it's better to tweak/fix the game's mechanics themselves than it is to try and discern each player's actions on a one-on-one basis. I could see the latter constituting a ban under the right circumstances, but that's a rather moot point because the person with the ban hammer cannot necessarily know a player's intent in that regard. In the end, it would really depends on whether the player is changing their builds/appearance for fun, or if they are doing it to intentionally make things more difficult for themselves or their team. In that case, you wouldn't even be able to judge by appearance anymore. Well, I'm not sure what would constitute the theme of being naked, but even then, a player could remove the armor that counts and still use an outfit, thus incurring the armor reduction penalty without actually appearing naked to other players. But even if they are aware, is fair to punish them based in a choice made for easthetics or ego? I mean: what if I want to play a Spiritual Weapon Guardian? What If I want to play to play condi Renegade? What if I want to play a healer Thief with Mender's amulet? As long as I'm in the match means that I earned a slot in the fight, so you can't punish people for playing sub par builds JUST TO HAVE FUN.
