I have been wanting this to be added in MCSG, I've always wanted to sponsor people a message, or sponsor them a item with a message. I've always wanted this idea just like in the normal Hunger Games movie, when someone sponsored Katniss a water bottle, with a note. I think this is a great idea, to warn someone if there is a hacker in game or give them a positive message, or maybe advice. There's also a huge disadvantage over this... People can leave players negative feedback, and that's not good. I feel as if we add a bypass (or whatever the word is that I forgot :p), This can work but still... there's still some disadvantages.

It would be something interesting to add into the game. Although, I worry how abusive it may become since it's something, I assume cannot be moderated as easily. The negative messages people would send other players would be just atrocious. :C

This has already been suggested many times before, but it'll most likely not be implented due to two reasons, which are :
  • You can reveal others location. ( of-course this is already possible by just telling time over skype or something, but we'd still not like to give them the option to )
  • People can use it to abuse after being killed. I can already see a lot of players being agree at the person who killed him and sending them a hate message.

It would be nice to say a message but some of the messages can be inappropriate. It can reveal spoilers of where players are and what they have.

This will be used for the wrong things.. People can tell people were someone is and other things.. There is a reason why players cannot see the spec chat.

Well, there could be a message where you can pick just like the MCSG menu to go to SG

It would either have to be composed with premade messages, similar to Battlefield's communication system (need a medic, need ammo, etc.), or it would need to be moderated and logged. It's a nice idea, and I've suggested it before. If it was to be accepted, it would more than likely be the former of the two suggestions above, which would kind of render it pointless, seeing as how you'd be wasting points on sending something like "Good fight! I'll win next time! :)".

I like the idea, and can definitely see why it would be a good thing to implement. But as with most idea suggestions, there are negatives as well. My problems with this idea are:
  • Advertising - Someone could find a popular user streaming, and send them multiple sponsors with their youtube channel or something, so that everyone watching the stream would see it in the game.
  • Rude Messages - When people die to someone, you can assume that them sending hate messages through the sponsor system would definitely happen more than once.
  • Moderating - This goes along with the prior point. With people sending mean messages, staff would need a way to moderate this, which could be hard (I'm assuming) for devs to implement or for staff to oversee.
  • Unfair Advantages - Players telling teammates where others are on the map, or what gear other players have, etc. As Molotov stated,
    ( of-course this is already possible by just telling time over skype or something, but we'd still not like to give them the option to )
