In-game reporting

FrozenSyther

Yes, yes I know why the higher ups don't want it but then I found a few ways to save from the spam.


First you have a limit in how many reports you can send, which is 1 a day. (or 1 every 2 days)

Second you have to put a price on reporting. It would be 500 or 1,000 GP. This makes sure people can't just report just for the heck of it and people who actually want to report someone would be able to pay a small price.

Third have a certain rank such as staff sargent 4th class. This makes sure people who have actually played the game for a certain amount of time get to report based off experience.

Fourth make people fill out a large, unappealing form to report them. This will separate the lazy people and the people who know what they are doing.

The ban system of in-game reports go to 1-month and then permanent ban.

Like it. +1

I like all except the second condition, wasting anything to report a hacker should not be necessary.

but the idea is fantastic +1

I think the first report of the day should be free, and the rest gets charged money

Or, charge them anyways but they get compensated for reports that people are actually hacking

RiotBananas

When I saw the TOPIC I said WOW.
Sucha brilliant idea +1.
Also how are we going to report? A photo or a video?
And there's like a message saying I'm reporting ........ <

I don't know, it would still allow for way more spam reports, especially on someone like me. Do you know how much kids say they will report me when I play? Experience doesn't matter, high rank brs who haven't farmed still accuse me of hak

I really like this idea +1

However, the rank requirement would make it unfair for new players to report in-game.

Secondly, some people don't have much GP or they might be saving up for a gun.

Overall, I think if this was to happen then I a lot of people would just QQ on the forums.

ssuiless

so we ot to pay to report a hacker?
what if someone save up for some gun but he wanna report to?

How would it make it unfair ? They still have the ability to report at all, the way is just a little bit harder. It's like another reason to rank up, some sort of a "reward"..

Why would they QQ on the forums? If you're talking about people QQing about XY didn't get banned yet though I reported him then I gotta tell you that these people already exist.

Kawaii_Neko

just report it like normal if it has so many restrictions anyway lol

I just think it is a bit unfair for the new comers. And might discourage them to not to report.

And ya I'm talking about these people.

Lol I will not spend my own GP on reporting hackers,and only one report per day u can play for 3 hours at one day and u can find over 5 hackers then u saying we should report only one hacker . but it's good idea for the people who hate too much hackers (special the high rank hackers)

GeorgeKRD

Report is the only defence we have against hackers and you want to make it harder to report?
Next think I'll hear is z8games stop reports and at all, to built its own hacks and sell them for zp. That's totally crazy mate!

He's basically trying to make it easier in the end. The report via support on the website will still exist even if this got implemented.

This ^ and +1
Perhaps even a small GP reward as well.

So I would have to pay to get cheaters out of the game? Thanks, but no thanks.

Rack69

Maybe if they give you triple if you report a real hacker that gets banned...

not exactly - the way I see it, at least.

I suggest you guys pay attention to this

OP is suggesting ANOTHER method to report players, but he doesn't want it to replace the current report system.

it seems like he wants users to pay to use the ingame report system, but reporting through support tickets will stay the same.
there. it's just an addition, and a very nice one on top of that.

FrozenSyther

The reason you have to pay a small price of GP is to make sure people think twice before reporting someone.

Higher ranks tend to have more in-game experience then low ranks which is why they should get the ability to report. And everyone still gets to use the website support ticket for free anyways.

You complain about hackers so is it such a big price to pay?

The in-game report system would send the replay and you fill out a pop-up form just like the website's one and fill out the intended information.

If you don't lose anything such as GP then people would get the idea that they might as well use their 1 report since it doesn't hurt them in any way.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I was like here we go again and almost ignored it. However I saw that Frozen started it and decided that it might be worth checking out.

This idea is full of potential and I am shocked over how genius this is. It benifts Z8 staff and players alike. I fully support this idea and would love to see something like this implemented.

This seems like a better alternative. Charging for reports would definitely deter people from reporting, but if they will be reimbursed (or even GAIN GP) then that is a definite incentive. Of course having a reward would probably bring the number of reports up.

SO the best option would probably be to reimburse the charge the player paid to submit the report.

^Qft.

I do believe Saidin or one of the MODs had talked about how this suggestion posted security/privacy issues, but if they can get around that somehow, +1?

love it +1

Use "search" next time. This has been suggested, discussed, and found unsuitable several times over.
