I was recently playing with a tank in a dungeon and they took the time to help us understand what to do and how to navigate “City of Threads” since myself and another player are new and felt lost.
That had me think to myself, I really wish this game had a respect or upvote system so you can vote for people who are helpful kind or respectful. That player 100% deserved it and was curious how other would feel about a honor system that rewards people being helpful?
Sort of like a mentor system I suppose but maybe have rewards attached to it or able to see if players are social or helpful at a glimpse.
I know there is currently a mentor system in the game but I feel it could be improved?
I just feel it’s a really nice to have a interaction like that since it’s pretty rare when stuff like this happens for me at least.

Just mail them gold or something. Nobody actually cares about getting those upvotes and nobody cares about seeing them on other players. Most people just farm them between friends in games like Rivals anyway and they end up being useless as far as indicators of actual helpfulness.

D2 has something akin to that, all it does is become an upvote fest for the points/achievements.
My other two members of my fireteam argue about which color they want to be given.

knowing the insanity of mmo players it would be abused or misused. people would spam after dungeons with macros asking for upvotes.

League of Legends and Overwatch already have these.
“Honor a player” at the end, basically.
I think it’s a good idea, at least for PuGs.
Maybe have a nice reward like a mog/pet/title for someone that continually helps others, in addition to voting for others.
Remember Perky Pug? When’s the last time they updated that, lol. As in the achievement, it could use an upgraded versions with a higher count of LFG grouping (and rewards ofc).
LoL has increased honor when everyone votes, and generally everyone does to get the added bonus.
It’s a little extra positivity, I don’t see it being abused (again, for PuGs only).
Random folks will be more earnest with their votes.

A player with a ton of upvotes means miles more to me than a player with 0 down votes. It means someone went out of their way to praise them with nothing to gain from it.
This new leaver system should have a positive side to it as well. Youve been spouting so much negativity lately. I’ve seen you in so many threads being cancerous. You should unplug and stop doomposting.

Surely wow players would never create a macro or addon that whispers your group members at the end of a dungeon asking to be upvoted, and then everyone wont start using it, and it wont become increasingly annoying… right?

Only if it’s a reportable offense to ask for such things, lol. Or I can just ignore them.
I never have people saying “honor me” in my games that do have it, and there’s generally rewards as well.
Anyone that asks probably doesn’t deserve it.
You haven’t played FF14 then.

I have lol, and yeah I know you’re talking about Mentoring n’ all that.
Yeah, I’d not make it a repeat of that system if I could.
Crowns became worthless because people would seek them out and not actually be helpful with it.
What’s interesting is that I could join the Murloc newbie help channel in WoW and help people out there, but I have to be on my old main to do it, and I’m out playing alts so I kinda can’t.
Then why’d you say you have never seen people saying" honor me" in any games you played. scratches my head
Because, I play LoL every day, each match is like 20-40 mins, and not once do people ask me for honor upvotes.
Haven’t played FF14 in years, but same deal- I only heard about it from others kicking up drama about ‘crown’ players.
I never experienced it myself, merely heard about it from others, and the Reddit back when I played.
And Overwatch, haven’t played in years, but same as LoL- nobody would ask for it at the end of a match. You just voted for who you personally felt played the best, or got a funny or beastly Play of the Game.
It’s the vocal minority being loud.
I have almost never personally experienced it, maybe once when the systems were new did people say, in-game, to share honors. But that is long in the past, now. We’ve had these systems for years.
I’m guessing gneusch is malgorok on another battle.net account.
He likes getting in people’s faces and being dismissive like that. It’s annoying when people on your ignore list make multiple accounts to make it harder to avoid them.
So, for the record, even with knowing how wows community is, you dont think people will start asking randoms all the time for upvotes to the point of it being annoying?
Is it really no different from asking for gear in LFR? Or dungeons?
And that still happens, lol.
I just say, send it.
The positives outweigh the negatives.
You are bringing up the thing people hate the most in lfr and other dungeons and have made numerous posts about as an example for even more systems that will cause people to randomly whisper others for upvotes?
That’s certainly a take I guess.
You’re always allowed to say “No”.
It’s not like they’re pointing a gun at you, lol.
And this is just for commendations at the end of an activity.
When everyone is already going their separate ways, so no harm in muting someone that wants to be annoying.
People do. That doesn’t make it any less annoying. 
So, if any feature has the ability to be annoying towards others, it should just be removed or not implemented.
Why not remove toys, then?
Or big mounts like Brutosaur? That’s annoying.
Many toys functionalities that were too annoying have been removed before by blizzard.
Blizzard also has spots that dont let you mount because they block npcs.
Idk why you are bending over backwards to try to make it seem as if it wouldnt be annoying.
