Somewhat depressing that the "how we'll actually tell if you're good or bad" is the shortest paragraph in the whole thing. And while it stresses the need for transparency, it's actually incredibly opaque and provides no details. I understand that there's something of a challenge here to not give away details that allow people to circumvent the system, it's also very hypocritical to not just say that. I'm basically reading this as: "We do some magic and give you a score". Some of the actions they call out are very hard to attribute correctly, eg. disconnecting/rage quitting. During COVID and having to work from home I discovered that Spectrum drops my connection on average 3 times a day, and it takes about 5 minutes for the cable modem to detect the drop and reconnect. If I played heavily that's going to penalize me. Maybe they'd target extremes of people who drop some large percentage of games they're not winning, but in general it's hard to seriously attribute all their categories. --- HOW YOUR STANDING IS ATTRIBUTED The reputation system tracks a variety of in-game actions that can be positive or negative, assigns a score to them, and applies effects to players' accounts. This generates the Reputation Standing, a rating given to each person that shows how their in-game actions are perceived. The system must be understandable and trustworthy so that everyone can understand how their actions affect their Standing, and how to change it. The goal is to provide feedback to our players and to promote healthy interactions while discouraging toxicity. With this system, we seek to encourage positivity, inclusion, and engagement in the game. ---
