It’s about time that Blizzard does something about all of the people in random BGs who either don’t play to win or don’t know their class.
Obviously, it’s not feasible to match a Blizzard employee to observe the game play of every single person playing in a BG. This is where AI comes in. AI has made amazing leaps in the last few years and it can learn what is good game play and what is bad game play. The AI would use a complex algorithm to determine a player’s Competency and Reliability Rating (CRR).
If a players CRR falls below an assigned threshold, then punishment will be administered. Some on the forums suggest punishments such as getting suspended or banned. Those people are soft. If you really want to stop this behavior of people not playing to win or needing to “l2p” as they say, then you need a real incentive to change their behavior.
I suggest live-streamed public executions. If you make an example of enough of these people then their behavior will change (not the ones that are dead, obviously, but the others). I know that it seems harsh but this is really the only way to proceed for the greater good of the game.
If we can’t utilize machine learning to analyze the data real time, perhaps some kind of post processing big data analytics that measures the captured data. It’s ok if it takes a day or two for enforcement…
I mean, it could even update more frequently than forum profiles…
What if instead of public executions the AI just forces them to play Strand of the Ancients forever ever after? And instead of trade chat we could just have a small streaming window gazing into the SOTA, and the SOTA gazing back at us?
edit: the AI needs to be voiced by that one video game that came out like 6 years ago with the companion cube. In fact, I don’t want an AI to judge people, I just want an AI to yell at people like the shadow priest artifact whenever they kick penance.
troll post but ill respond anyway by saying this, have you seen the island expedition mobs with the shiny new “ai”. WHAT A JOKE LMAO! blizz is so full of it their eyes are brown like mine…
Kinda like how I always get mind controlled in M+ the second I pop incarn.
I think they should have gone one step further with the PVP AI to recreate a true PVP experience. Allow them to send ragewhispers to go die in the trash. Or allow them to list in LFG to create a raid group like WPVP tough guys.
