With PlayRate you can give other players a rating while you are playing World of Warcraft. The cool thing is that your ratings are transmitted to other users while you play and you receive the ratings that other people make. This enables you to check out what a player’s rating is before deciding to join a group with him.

You can also synchronise your ratings with the PlayRate site. This will download the ratings that were entered by others while you were off-line so you can view them inside the game. It will also upload your ratings so can edit them and look up statistics.

Web 2.0 comes to WoW

The purpose of this mod is improve everyone’s online experience. The idea is that when a lot of people use PlayRate, players will refrain from behaving badly because they know their actions will not go unnoticed. If someone regularly abandons his team or is not being a good sport his rating will reflect this.

You can rate any player you have played with, they do not have to have PlayRate installed. Of course, you don’t have to rate anyone, you can just use PlayRate to view how others (or yourself) are being rated.

Let them know how you feel

Using PlayRate is very easy:

To rate a player you played with: Right-click on his portrait while grouped and select “Rate”. You can now give a rating by dragging the slider and click “Submit” to send it to all other users of PlayRate. Alternatively, if you are no longer grouped, you can right click on your own portrait and select “Rate” to see a list of players you played with recently.
To view a players rating: Simply shift-click on his name in the chat dialog or type “/rate playername” when you are in the game. You can also use this site to look up a player’s rating and various other statistics.
To view how you have been rated by other players: Right click and select “Rate” on your own portrait. The dialog with your own rating can also automatically be displayed as new ratings come in, so you can keep track of what others think of you.
To share your ratings with others: Your ratings are automatically shared with other players while you are in the game. To receive ratings that were given while you were offline come to this site before you start a game to synchronise the data in the mod with the site’s database. When you upload your ratings to the site you also ensure your ratings aren’t lost if you play on different computers or reinstall the game.
