DPS deserve commendations too!

Beg for a commendation, and you shall not recieve.

Impress me or the Miqote with a booty pic for a portrait is getting the commendation.

The quickest way, I've found, to get DPS to get the coms is to be a tank that has a portrait like this.

Usually I get 1-2 a run for dungeons, but while leveling Warrior with this joke of a portrait, it was pretty consistently 0. Clearly, the healer is taking their comm elsewhere.

So OP if there's anything to be gleaned from this thread it's to appeal to the gooners.

(Commendations don't mean anything btw)

Lmao name fits the post especially since you insult people calling them (Gooners) for wanting commendations for preforming good in an instance. These people probably are interested in the rewards you can get from them and they might want to try being a mentor. So idk why you said they don't mean anything??? that's a rather obvious lie.

As long as noone is giving comms to Lalafell I'm in.

Commendations are so rare anymore. I give them when I can. I'm not sure how it is anywhere else, but in NA, when that dungeon ends, people leave immediately so you can barely give them, let alone get them. I don't have the mount. But I honestly don't need them. It's just that when you play well or do something that a normal group wouldn't do and it feels ignored, it tends to make me not put in that effort again. I still do because I want to be as helpful as I can. Its just these anti-social tendencies are super common now. Hell, in most groups, people don't even say hello anymore. Ironic considering it was drama on the Japanese servers to not be respectful upon joining a group. I'm not saying take it that far, but stop being so anti-social.

I know this was a give dps more coms post, but honestly, I barely get them for the above reasons. Healing, tanking, playing well, being friendly, nothing brings them out for me.

I generally comm in the following order:

1 - Anyone who was REALLY good at their job.
2 - Anyone who made the experience fun, regardless of whether they were a great player.
3 - First timers and sprouts
4 - Anyone with a really great portrait (NEW)
5 - DPS
6 - Healers
7 - Tanks
8 - Whoever is still in the instance by the time I can open the comm window and a click a name

I mean, I get quite a few commendations as a DPS, but it depends on the circumstance. If I am a DNC and I give good buffs and it is noticeable, then I get one or two. If I am a SMN and I get a good raise in and save the party, I've gotten quite a few that way. Hellz, even as VPR, I would get commendations (but I think that one was bc of portrait tbh).

I know with my own mindset with commendations, I normally always comm the tank or healer first. My reasoning? The instance kinda needs those 2 playing a bit or else nobody will get through (or at least without great effort). If a tank doesn't press mits and relies on the healer...well we could find ourselves in a total party wipe situation due to mana or just too much damage. If the healer doesn't press their healy buttons, dps will go down to raidwides or mechanics and make the runs last way too long. With dps? Well, you could press the basic combo rotation and never press anything else and still, besides a little bit longer of a dungeon, you probably wouldn't know too much. If the dps does stuff or leads the part (by being a mentor/guiding sprouts/teaching mechanics) without being a jerk about it, then ya they get it 100%.

OR

You are just charismatic and funny in a dungeon/instance :D Nothing better then someone coming in and making me laugh during my 500th run of Crystal Towers~

I did some runs as dnc got coms the most I ever got as a dps in trials 6 coms

My last roulette I had a monk who did some absolutely eye-watering DPS to the point we were skipping mechanics. You bet he got my commendation.
