Fun RvR Idea - "Commendation" Skill

Everyone gains this ability.

When used on a realm enemy, a small icon of your Guild insignia pops up over their head as a spell effect that lasts for 3 seconds. You cannot attack this target for 30 seconds or until they attack you or your group, but gain a very small amount of "kill credit" for this target.

A line in spell effects for both sender and target shows up. It displays how many times you have used Commend on the target and they on you. "You have given Trollface 3 commendations, and she 4 to you. Trollyface has been commended 1337 times in total."

2300 Range, Instant. Only usable out of combat. 3 minute re-use.

For those who want a clean way to show others they're not adding on someone's fights/ganking a lowbie.

what is the benefit of this tool though?

The best way to show someone that you are not adding, is to not add. The set-8man-grps have a good overview of their surroundings and will notice if an enemy grp approaches and then turns away from their fight. They will notice without this.
Others will either not care, or not notice it themselves.

The only benefit i would see is in stealthwars, but even there it seems to me, if you are not an adder out of principle, then don't add because you don't add.
Why does it matter that the other person knows you didnt add?

Social mechanics alter player behavior, proven time and again.

But more importantly it's to help people keep track of who's doing what and reciprocate.
