Why do people give MVP to the worst player.

Are these "lowest damage, healing etc etc" players possibly turret/door guards that stand where there isn't alot of action, doing what noone else wants to do because it's more fun running around farming medals than standing there making sure no one ninjas the objective? Or running the ball and scoring the points(which doesn't earn medals for some reason) rather than joining the battle royale in the bottom of the pit?

Unless I'm mistaken MVP = Most Valuable Player not Most Medals/Kills Farmed.

Those ppl should also get votes. Sadly in most pugs i run I am the only healer and none of the dps will defend the boring node. So i have to go do it and we lose, go figure. Then they complain that they got no healing LOL. Makes me want to /ragequit sometimes.

Well just because a player has the highest score in those categories doesn't mean much. Some ppl (not implying you) just spam and farm medals. I make sure I don't vote for those players. I do make sure to vote for those that play crucial roles in the game (as I'll describe below).

However, I wish I played with all of you guys cuz most of the PVP warzone games I play I only see about 2-3 votes given out of the 10 ppl. I personally receive votes even though I don't do great statistically, and I'd like to think (but who knows if I'm right lol) it's because I charge into an area and disrupt the enemy from controlling a point when nobody else is around, or distracting two 43 and 44 lvl enemies (even though I'm a 31 healer lol) while we score in huttball. I don't necessarily go for mass points, I go for doing little things that'll give my team the extra 2-3 seconds to score, survive, and win.

Not sure if this helps you at all, but thats what I do

Whine more. Damage and protection medals are easy to earn. I play an Immortal spec PvP jugg and I regularly get 7-10 medals per game, resulting in 100+ commendations per game without any votes necessary. Sometimes people vote for me, but usually only when I am visibly mixing it up in the middle of the group guarding people or do some epic huttball score.

You know who I vote for?

Healers. 'nuff said.

This just isnt always true.

Esp for tanks. Very often, I will be the top player on the list for having top 3 damage, best kill to death ratio, and top medals. But I will also be top gaurd, and top objectives. Esp if i buddy up with a healer. The two of us and can fight off tripple our numbers at an objective if played well. And since I dont die much, I get these huge numbers cause im always in the fight. I never chase people to finish kill, pass a teammate up in trouble, or farm medals. And Im constantly taunting, debuffing with wither and discharge(acc debuff), pulling people off healers, ect.

What I personally think happens the most, is that people want to get MVP themselves, so they vote for the lowest ranked player thinking they wont get as man votes, not understanding the system. So the low guy gets the most.

I myself always vote for the healers that keep me alive.

Anyone that does not award medals to a healer in the War Zone is ignorant and ungrateful. Because the system rewards dps classes so generously for their contributions with medals and penalizes individuals for healing and supporting other players, anyone who fails to acknowledge their healers is a DB. The only exception to this is awarding it to someone who makes such a substantial contribution to winning the objective battle that it is noticeable. But in general, healers should get the default MVP votes.

I never give any mvp to the player with the most medals.

Why ?
because most of the time, they just play to stack medals, and don't do anything to help their team winning.

(Huttball 11 medals guy scenario)

They seek solo killing, protect someone left alone that is going to die anyway (yay 3 protection medals ) , attack random enemies just to raise their damages and make them respawn just in front of their teammates who are struggling to get a goal ...

i don't say that's it is what you do. But most of the time, the player with 11 medals is not more deserving any mvp than the guy with 4 medals who just tried to complete the objectives since the begining.

Medals + WZs Objectives = Broken system.

I vote for friends, cool people, or random.

I can understand that. But all too often you cap the most balls, have the most damage done, have very high protection score, have top medals, and don't say a single word in chat, and you STILL get zero votes. Which is why NOBODY takes the MVP voting seriously, and why so many just leave the zone without voting at all. People are morons. That's all there is to it. Only thing they could have possibly done to make it worse is allow people to vote for themselves.

OP, the worst player does NOT get the MVP votes.
I know, because I never get any.
