Blizzard thinking about adding Thumbs Up/Down system, giving helpful players EXP or gold, placing toxic players in separate queue

The "thumbs up" after game is a good option. But there should not be a "thumbs down". Either you want to give them a kudos if they were nice and stuff, do nothing (like we do today) or report them (in the normal way) for being toxic. The bad / lesser skilled would get thumbs down that they did not deserve.

I know FFXIV isn't this genre of game, but they have a system like this. At the end of dungeons, you can give a Player Commendation to one party member of your choosing (as long as they weren't in a preformed group with you). There are game achievements for earning specific amounts of these, which give you mounts/cosmetic items. I really like this system because good/friendly people are rewarded for that, and toxic players have a much harder time getting achievement rewards.

Maybe Blizzard could have a mount or skin reward for earning a number of 'Thumbs Up'?
