As part of this game and a factor of mechanic balance, us players need a better way to guide the balance and gameplay of Dust.
In the update screen, or in it's own screen, we could see a list of weapons or items. We should then be able to vote about certain aspects of each piece of gear ( i.e. how many can be active, rep cycles, armour value, damage, rpm, etc.)
The votes would then be kept in a players profile, kind of like stars on your favorite movies for Netflix.
A program would then analyze all player's choices and create an average of what players actually feel the balance should be. This average choice for each piece of gear would then set the benchmark for that tier of item in game.
The goal of this interaction is to provide an immediate and active way for players to make decisions about balance.
CCP: if you feel this system might incur abuse or balance may still be wrong, then I feel another game mode in the public contracts could be used to alleviate concern. The new game mode would be the only one to use this system and so the possible abuse would be limited in scope, yet the potential for meaningful player engagement would increase.

Yep, I like the idea of in-game ratings. +1
Also, how about...
Rate your battle
On the end-of-battle summary screen players rate the battle (1 to 5 stars) on how much they enjoyed it. This is primarily for CCP's benefit; they can see what battle configurations get the most likes, and try and learn from that.
Like your death
When you die, on the death screen is an option to "like" the death because you enjoyed the fight even though you lost. The person who killed you would receive a notification, maybe through an in-game mail?

Rate battle may help identify common elements between the two teams when compared too.

That seems like a great idea, Varjac! Maybe to further reduce the amount of abuse, only one rating per account is allowed for items. But you can still change the rating to correct errors in judgement. |

Of course. I think no matter how many alts one has, only one ps3 may be used to rate items. Also, I wonder if you could only rate items that you are skilled into? That has pros and cons of course though.
Ideally, I would want to see the system tested with no limitations, apart from the single voting account. I wonder if most people would want to improve the game and not senselessly nerf vote or buff vote, but really try to create a great game.
