How Do You Decide Who To Vote For?

[Shadowtrek]

With player commendations, what do you look for when deciding who gets your vote?

[Orihara_Izaya]

I main a healer so personally if it's a group with more then one healer i'll give the vote to my healing buddy. If I'm a single healer i'll give it too the tank (unless he's a crappy tank in which case i'll give it too the most outstanding dps). If you main a dps give the vote to however you think did the best job usually it's the healer who saved your butt when you're about to die, or the tank who pulled agro off you, or even a dps.

The point is pick whoever you think left a positive impression on you, if they knew the run, were helpful, kind, give them the vote.

Dunno if this helped at all.

I don't vote at all unless someone really stoodout.

Helpfulness and performance.

Tanks and Healers always gets Commendation. It doesn't matter how good both DPS performs. As a DPS myself, usually one if not both of us gets nothing [4 Player Dungeon]. And don't give me that BS, I've been through about 20+ dungeon through DF roulette bring friendly, helpful, talkative, and still only gotten 5. That's why I always give the other DPS a Commendation...unless they **** up so bad I'll decide between the Tanks or Healers. And for 8 player dungeons/raid our chance for Commendation is still low.

but their personality during the run and ability to work with other members.

I've seen some nasty personalities during runs and some don't hide their ability to start pointing fingures when something goes wrong.

Ran into a few during Hakke Manor Hard on final boss because we couldn't kill the adds fast enough when I was a Monk. They always blame the melee DD class but the issue was that another party member was kiting those adds so it was difficult to get close to attack the adds.

Generally, I vote for people who I think did as well as me in their position. Was the tank swift, did he mark mobs and hold hate? Did the healer keep up, did they keep everyone alive and were they adding a bit of DPS on the side? Was the DPS doing their proper rotation, were they acting appropriately with boss mechanics?

I rarely vote based on how chatty someone was, and I certainly don't vote for people who explain mechanics I already know. The player they are helping explain the mechanics to should certainly vote for them, but I know the mechanics so I'll vote based on performance (example, plenty of people know Titans mechanics, plenty more still fail to dodge Landslide). That said, if someone is a colossal douche I probably wont vote for them, no matter how amazing they do their role.

Its all a personal preference! I like to go with people who are kind, helpful, observant etc. I have voted for many DPS and have gotten votes myself as a monk. I dont think I tend to lead towards one class specifically because I look more towards who the person is and not the job class. Although I can see why Tanks and Healers get a lot of votes, considering people think us DPS'ers dont do to much

I usually try to make it random because I know that it's usually going to go to the tanks and healers. While they deserve it, dps need some lovin' too.
