Curse

Want to remember who you liked and hated over the years? Tired of grouping with players, only to find out that they are bad? Frustrated to see the same scammer in the trade channel every day, with the same scam? Some jerk ninja something? Want to warn your friends and other players about these baddies? Download this mod!

This mod is a tool to rate players on a scale of -100 (bad) to 100 (good) using a new option in the popup menu when you click on a friendly or enemy player. Obviously, enemy players are kill on sight baddies, but rating is available to remember them for whatever reason. A small note can also be added with each rating for more clarity. The ratings can be displayed later in a player's tooltip and/or with their name in the chat window. All of your toons on the current server and faction can see the same rating. Switching to another server or opposite faction has its own rating. For example, horde is expected to rate an enemy faction bad usually, which is separate from rating the same player as friend in alliance when actually grouping and chatting brings a set of new social experiences.

PlayerRating is updated for patch 3.3.5 and Cataclysm, using some of the updated Ace2 r1100 database (not Ace3).
