Enhance the game play experience in WOW

I like the idea that there are consequences, both good and bad, and that the people who enhance the game play experience of other players are really adding to the atmosphere - which does help Blizzard. Where would you rather play? Where people are cordial and helpful, and answer your questions honestly? Or where blaming, insulting, griefind and ninja-ing happen often enough to affect your play experience and your chance to get WOW gold? What environment has the potential to retain more players?  (Especially new players who are seeing and experiencing these for the first time and may judge the game on such factors).

 

There have been times where people went out of their way and explained the fights to a group of confused people in LFR and kept up the positive motivation, "It's OK - we did pretty well that time. I know we'll get it next time," rather than pulling before everyone was ready and berating anyone who didn't know the fight ahead of time. I would have loved to have given them some kind of KUDOS apart from thanking them in Raid Chat. These people have made a huge difference in how my friends and I experienced the LFRs.  Most of those tend to be either neutral (we down the bosses, its efficient, but not terribly friendly, fun or memorable) or negative (lots of blaming, insulting, vote-kicking, meter-spamming, gloating about self). The few positive LFR runs are that way because of the actions and words of a few people that made a difference for the better.

 

IF they would allow in-guild "good" reporting, I think it should be severely limited.  In fact, maybe they should have some background information that the game can see, to make sure it's not some out-of-guild alt, or recently left guildie who's trading the kudos. Aside from how (and how to keep it from being abused because you KNOW any system they put in, people will abuse them) but what would constitute this?  Does someone who runs a lowbie through one dungeon after another and follows them around doing all of their WOW gold quests count?  I'm sure the newbie might think so, but from my view, that's not helping them OR the community.  How about giving gold to a constant beggar, thereby encouraging an annoying and nasty habit?  That's a little more subjective. I think giving someone a quick answer (such as direction to get somewhere, or a name of a quest giver) is fine, and then pointing people toward a good online resource for more in-depth information, though, with subjects that I know a lot about, such as my own professions.
