Convoluted idea inc.

I've long thought that Blizz should 'break' recount in much the same way they 'broke' gearscore. Not by actually disabling it, but by offering something else.

I think it's time to ad a point system to the LFD. Maybe just a tally/number next to each individual's name or healthbar. You earn a point for each killing blow, dispell, interrupt, or Cc that last longer than 5 seconds. The points are on display for all to see, and at the end of the run are added up and distributed evenly amongst the group as extra JP, or VP, or even gold. Maybe you need a conversion if you go with extra points, 2 points per Vp or whatever, but that's just fine tuning.

People are going wave their epeens about in any way they can, at least give them motivation to wave about that they are playing in the proper manner. The points are redistributed so one person cannot gear up twice as fast as the others, and to promote that everyone is indeed working as a group. And if you ARE that excellent player, in the long haul you'll gear up a little bit faster. Everyone wins.

Although i'm sure there are countless problems with this plan, overall it at least will teach people what is expected of them(can you imagine DPSers competing for the most interupts in a random? Oh, it melts my stonecold black charcoal tanking heart into something kind of glowy and resembling life!). Hell, maybe someday, you can even ramp up the difficulty of dungeons again without the major fallout we saw last time.

But whatever, I'm rambling, just an idea I've been messing around with for awhile.
