I agree with you that some people might not rate a product because they are lazy and don’t want to write a review.
But these people are exactly the ones i want to filter (mostly the low star ratings).
I faced a 1 Star Rating due to trolling. And if Jon wouldn’t have helped me, i would have been stuck with this 1 Star, without knowing who it was and why he did this.
We should not allow this to happen, only to get some more ratings. The correct way is to setup a better Rating/Review system and encourage people to rate
the products.
The current missing Reviews were mostly due to the Launcher not supporting a way to write them in the past. So people bought it on the Launcher and that’s it.
Now the Launcher also supports this and people know they can rate it without the need to go to the web-based marketplace.
If you leave the few less ratings aside, then you might see that combining rating and review + username will help most of the products to improve, because the
idea behind a review is to point out things that can and should be improved. And if people just rate low stars without a review, you can’t improve your product.
