Player Commendation

got 2 in my 1st roulette

Got 0 thus far but I had a pretty er.. none talkative group to be honest. I tried to be friend and ask if anyone needed the fights explained and was more or less told to shut up >_> Guess there will always be assholes heh.

Before this commendation thing came out there have been so many DPS that I want to give commendations too. I just wish I could be able to group up with them again from DF ( T^T )

Tanks by far have the advantage here because people don't actually go through the list. They just hit the first person they see (which is always a tank).

Is it possible to do it for a failed run or for an incomplete party? We got a really helpful and patient tank walking us through a dungeon today and I'd have liked to vote for him but we timed-out at the last boss and people left.

I personally have given my commendations to dps who seemed to be on the ball. The tanks I've been paired with today have either demanded the commendations or been generally arrogant

Wait. Tanks have DEMANDED commendations? What on Earth makes them think people can be bullied into giving them something that is supposed to be given to nice, helpful people?

I've given 12 or so DF's fast runs with no errors and not one person has provided me with a commendation, despite friendly demeanor and thanks at the end. Fast as in under 13 minutes, lacking a blm to sleep or a smn to bind. :(

I think a lot of people are still stuck in the speed run mentality and dash for the exit once the dungeon is over, so you might get nothing if others in the party simply run off without leaving a commendation. I think once people catch on to the system they'll take more time to leave their votes (and/or receive them) before they run off.

In order to even receive a Commendation, you have to actually stay in the dungeon until people vote/leave (so wait for loot to distibute at least). You might just personally be leaving too fast...or others might be leaving without voting. Not everyone will vote, and not every party will vote for you. I found that out after luckily a person in my DF party happened to be on my server and was able to PM via search 'Hey I wanted to vote you up but you left too fast :/'
