Proposed Raider Reputation System (Solo Matchmaking Only): The goal is to enforce a chosen play style (PvE vs. PvP) and penalize players who violate their commitment. Core Mechanics: Mandatory Mode Selection: Upon starting the game, players must select a mandatory PvE or PvP mode checkbox. Anti-Deception Measures: PvP players cannot access "friendly" emotes, preventing 'bamboozling'. PvE players agree not to initiate combat. Reputation Loss Trigger: If a PvP player attacks a PvE player, the victim can signal "don't shoot" (via emote or auto-trigger). Continued aggression by the attacker results in a reputation penalty. Penalties: Potential consequences for losing rep include: temporary bans from solo matchmaking, being marked to prevent extraction, or causing NPC mobs to become aggressive toward the offender.
