Not sure if its the commendations, the fact that we can now vote kick, or more people using the DF. In anycase, my experiences today have been pleasant.
I'm not going to lie... The first Duty Roulette group I joined this morning irked me and I was only nice because of the commendations. I got into low level Ifrit and right off the bat a PGL just runs up and starts whacking Ifrit after he gets out of the cutscene. Then he didn't attack the nail and we wiped. I could've overlooked the nail thing despite my asking if everyone knew what to do but engaging a boss mob when A. you're not the tank and B. the rest of the group isn't ready... There's no excuse for that other than you're a moron. Either way, yeah, it's totally working and there have already been several occasions where I wanted to get snarky but did not because I wants those commendations!
You realize how pathetic this is. SE actually had to give people a reason to be nice. People are so terrible now that they can't even consider being nice until they think they will lose out on a reward...sigh...
In the words of Sheldon Cooper:
I weep for humanity.
But it worked :D
Unless you're the tank...then you can be a dick about it still.
I'm always nice to people at the start but when they continue to not listen and do dumb shit....these rewards from SE are not going to hold me back.
What are these rewards anyway?
Well it worked but it is sad that they needed to implement something like that :)
From the people I have been talking to in game, it seems like only Heals and Tanks are getting commendations. Is anyone else seeing this trend?
As much as I agree with you, the results are clear. I can't really complain about that even if SE is bribing some people to be nice. Granted, I haven't ran into too many...winners, myself. The community isn't so bad. The only time I've seen people be less than kind is either those rare times others are being jerks, or just being plain stupid, and you can't fix stupid.
