Dragon, sir.
White, which is why I specified commons. I hear we're supposed to be able to upgrade the quality of our companions though in the future with AD.

Sure, I got plenty of them.
And grr cipher9 (wait, I'm Cipher 9 :mad:) let the GD crowd have this one, you authors do enough back rubbing between your *****fests
BTW: I'm normally cipher or cipher_nemo, but PWE in all of their annoying arrogance will not let me change display names for my existing account (was set to a character name in another game). Worse, they don't allow special characters like dashes or underscores, so I had to add a number between the two names. And plain cipher was of course already taken. And they wouldn't let me delete my old account to create a new one, so blame PWE.
Here's my stance on rating bribery: I personally give 5 stars to everyone's quest I've reviewed on the forums and in my guild if I thought their quest was worth a 3 or higher star. But I always give honest written feedback. So this isn't much of a stress to ask this from me in the first place.
Also, what's the "GD crowd"??

Yes, sir, it is. But I play a Trickster Rogue, and I got arrested twice yesterday while reviewing other peoples' Foundry missions. So I guess it's sort of in character for me.

Seriously, Wuhsin, you're above that.
If you're going to offer token prizes to people who play your quest, there should be no strings attached except for decent feedback. But requiring a 5-star review is pretty, ummm... low.
I've always held you in high respect as an early fellow Foundry Author. Please don't give me cause to reconsider that.
And buying ratings from someone = good
Got it...
You got 20 dogs worth right? I wager you will get more than 20 people who will 1 star your project out of shear contempt for being a "Rating-Farmer".
Well, think of the alternative. Asking people for favorable reviews then someone giving 2 stars with good comments. Is that favorable? Seems like that gray area could be abused.
As for low, is this any lower than people promoting their own quests on their social media outlets to their existing fans? Is this any lower than a dev promoting their quest to a group of people willing to kiss up? Is it our fault as Foundry authors that the rating system is broken where quests appealing to the lowest common denominator (eg: exploiting grind quests) get higher ratings and more reviews?
It's an ethical dilemma where no one can really say their ground is higher.
And that would be trolling foundry authors with 1 star ratings. The same sort of behavior we've been complaining about on the forums.

Do the people on the social media sites get a skeletal dog or any form of compensation?
.......asking your project to be rated on anything other than its own merits? come on man....
I'm making my first Foundry atm, having lots of fun doing so, personaly think Foundry is the one major good point of this game, that will keep Neverwinter going, aslong as makers keep creating stuff.
I've already gotten all the troll reviews first thing. They'll have to make alts to 1 star me again.
Ummm, yes. It is.
Sorry, but this is what some of us have to do when we make a successful quest, then publish a sequel, and a bunch of jealous Foundry authors rush to down-vote it first thing. If they hadn't down-voted me out of spite, I would be steadily getting more and more plays without having to offer any incentive or even advertise my quest, because my quest WAS high enough up on the list where people were seeing it and playing it of their own accord before this BS happened. I'm just trying to regain lost footing here. Please don't hate me for that.
Well, I am not a foundry author so I am ignorant to your plight. There shouldn't even be a rating system if you ask me, as it is about as subjective as blondes, brunettes, or redheads. I just think that even if it is like how you are saying, with "jealous Foundry authors rush to down-vote" your content, I would rather take their abuse than sell off my integrity. But that's just me.
There's been a lot of debate about the rating system on the Foundry sub-forum during the past few days. Some want a Positive Only rating system, where you can Like or +1 a quest if you like it, and if you don't, you just don't Like/+1 it.. I'm thinking this would eliminate a lot of the trolling that has caused other authors to outright withdraw their quests lately. Realistically though, we can't expect the devs to change the rating system so drastically, as it would probably require them to wipe every quest's ratings.
Maybe what I'm doing is hardly ethical, but as cipher pointed out earlier, it's not much worse than the senseless trolling and exploitation currently rampant in the Foundry. I've been devoting a lot of time over the past week to trading reviews with other authors, and have been quite generous with my ratings. That's why I'm so disheartened that all that hard work has been flushed down a metaphorical toilet over three or four people wanting to make alts and butcher my adjusted rating. That's why I just want to regain those few points I lost. If you think I'm scum though, go ahead and down-vote me for it. Just don't expect me to keep producing content if everyone is going to trample my ratings for petty reasons like they think I'm a jerk or the sky looks funny. Or my personal favorite so far, two people constantly dying to kobold minions..
Well the map is called Zigby's First Strike.. It's an invasion. Did you expect a lot of dialogue? It even says in the quest description that a horde of murderous kobolds has been unleashed. You should have figured you would have to contend with a horde of murderous kobolds. Sorry you hated it though. The ending is where all the dialogue and story is at, but even it consists of several bosses one after another. Did you by any chance play Campaigns & Kobolds, or even read the quest description?
Though saying that it may be alot more fun on my GWF, as I tend to preffer mindless violence on that cha, so shall give it another run through tomorrow.
Yeah, the character you play has a big impact on the game experience. I only play a trickster rogue, so I prefer missions that involve spying, espionage, sneaking, assassination, theft, you know, rogue stuff. Thanks for being willing to give it a second glance, any feedback you have will help me to make the next one better. I do recommend searching for me under the Best tab though and giving Campaigns & Kobolds a go, because this map is a sequel to that one, and playing it will help you better understand the plot of this one.
If I did an honest star rating it would probably be a 2 or 3. But supporting fellow authors on the forums and for your reward I gave it a 5.

Do your guild mates review your quests favorably? Would you call that "skirting normal game mechanics"? Reviews are reviews, people can choose to rate however they like for whatever reason. Granted, it would not be an honest rating, but the rating system in its current state doesn't punish dishonest ratings.
