Suggestion: Individual Rep System

What do you guys think about a rep system? If you like someone, you give a positive rep. If you dislike someone, you give a negative rep. People forming groups could see how much rep individuals have, and decide whether or not to invite that person.

Obviously there would be room for abuse here. So perhaps at least half of a group in a mission has to negative rep one person in order for that rep to count, as a vote. I don't know anything about guilds, but perhaps there should be a limitation on how many fellow guildmates you can positive rep.

Or simply just have a positive rep, and every two or three negative reps cancels out a positive rep.

Thoughts, comments?

Could be cool, but I'd expect guild rivalries to skew them heavily. It would be all too easy to ruin a whole guilds rep using this system.

Oh, great idea, then people can abuse it by buying rep from other, thus make the economy more screwed, and the whole system overall screwed!

It would be too easy to abuse. I like the idea in general but...

well i like that idea alot but here is what i have to add to it, instead of having players able to give positive rep or negative rep. have it made into a system by arena.net well example of one way this could be done "players leaving a mission -1 rep"

and yes there would be alot of negative thought about arena.net make those -1 rep and +1 rep judges. example " sumbody really has to leave a mission for sumthing urgent (family issue?)" then they would go -1 rep for no reason and would be looked at badly by other players

to sum up my statement having a rep system is a good idea. but yes it would be abused by the players if they would be the ones awarding - rep and + rep and if arena.net did the awarding of rep then it would still be misunderstood to other players because of what i stated above
