Think of the last player you remember commin; why did you comm them over the others?

I commended a tank who consistently waited for me to apply excog and adlo before he rushed off to do a wall-to-wall. It was nice to get that consideration. They also seemed to manage their mitigation really well.

The DPS who begged for a comm after pulling a few times for the tank did not get one.

Basic Training: Enemy Parties as a Mentor Roulette. Since it was a very quick and easy affair I just gave the commendation to a fellow Midlander guy who I felt was well designed.

during ex roulette i gave my commendation to the other dps because the healer and i were pre-made and the tank didnt even once use sprint.

I gave my last commendation to a White Mage Lalafell in Twinning in several pieces of eden savage gear. They were skillful enough to die 6 seconds into the first boss fight. No one but them knew what happened and how they lost all their HP so quickly and they wouldn't share their secret with us.

Currently you can find this in my Player Profile:

3 Ways to earn commendations:
- Be Tank
- Be Healer
- Be Lala :D

And that's basically it. ^^
When I see new players in a duty (judging from watching the CSs, having lolvl gear, class-icon and stuff) I tend to comm them over the others as long as they perform decent or are willing to take advice. Generally as long as people act friendly or at least don't bitch around and do their job well they're comm-candidate.

Pretty much super-bolide when lots of aoe coming instead of dodging... my poor heart...

They didn't bolt at the very end of the dungeon immediately.

I want to comm you random person, why did you leave so fast?

You click the touchpad twice to highlight the comm box, X to open it, and then scroll through the list. I know some things are a pain in the ass with a controller, but this isn’t one of them.

I comm'd a drg for being committed while using the lb to finish off the boss at the end of amarout. He faithfully stood and used that lb right as the boss was using the huge line aoe that you have to get on the side platforms for.

It was glorious
It was ballsy
And he didn't die.

I commend his lack of meme *salutes*

They were wearing the pompador haircut. Something I haven't seen like .. once.

I basically only play DPS, so I usually comm a healer if I don't die, or if I do something dumb and have to get raised.

I pick someone at random. (And even then usually only if i'm leveling something and want to get the challenge log bonus for the week.)

There are rare cases where I'll comm someone specific. Usually if someone saves a run. Last person standing at the end of a boss on a near wipe. Or a healer that saves the run with a well timed lb3. Stuff like that. But it's usually on a whim and pretty rare that someone stands out in particular for it.

I had a completely awful healer in last night's expert (Amaurot) who died on the first boss at 5% and died on the last boss at about 60%. I assumed the death on the last boss would result in a wipe........ NOPE. We had a completely badass tank who wouldn't be contained by lack of a healer. He and I stuck it out and finished the fight just the two of us.

Best believe I comm'd that tank.

I'm still fairly new, so I'll comm someone if they've been helpful with explaining mechanics or something similar. Doesn't even have to be to me; one of the last comms I gave was to someone explaining a boss to another sprout. I'm also learning to tank, so my second priority is the healer for keeping me alive.

Finally, I' ll comm anyone sticking around at the end long enough to, if the first two choices split before I could.

In raids, if someone really stands out as carrying a run or being extra nice/helpful/patient they get the comm, otherwise I default to best looking character with a lore-appropriate name or whoever has the gayest search comment.

In dungeons I just comm whoever the 4th filler is for our FC run, unless they're rude or have a name that's too memey, then I just sit on the comm.

Last person I commended was a healer in Aurum Vale.

Didn't slack on healing, did dps, quite agreeable in general. Didn't even say "I hate this dungeon" when we started, which in and of itself is worthy of commending!

Commed the healer who spent a lot of time ressing everyone in the one Copied Factory run I've done so far.

Similar to the above. One of our healers made sure to get me up rather quickly after each death x_x felt bad that I got the 2B drop.

I'll do my last three...

Player was new to the trial

Player was last one left in the instance and I said screw it.

Player made me laugh

I commend a dps every run if people don't leave too quickly. Most recently it has been for not repeatedly dying, having a cool name, saying hello and thanks, Roe or Hrothgar master race, raising, using LB, being the last person to leave and just random choice.

Last one: Tank. Did a really good job with his cooldowns, managed to make healer's life a lot easier and everything went smoothly and fast.

I used to give comms to healers frequently but ever since Shadowbringers hit, healers seem to be a bit on edge and the passive aggressive meters are very high. Don't know why though, it's just happening.

I just push da button

Comm'd a DPS, because they never get comm lovings that much.

Why did I comm them over the others? They weren't a douchelord.

I keep on comm'ing raid healers that don't let me eat dirt for longer than swiftcast CD haha.

my elelator, not your elelator.
(old old reference..)

I only give away commendations if people deserve it.

If they slack and/or not contributing at all (example, doing the bare minimum or not listening after explainign dozens of times) then imo they dont deserve a "good job" token.
DPS not executing proper rotation despit not beeing a new person to the game, healers refusing to do their main job... the list goes on.

Its fairly easy to recognize if somebody does at least average and is actually contributing torwards the grp, those are the one who i give a comm.

I am not expecting them playing their job at the 100% limit, but i do expect them to carry their weight... I am NOT Rewarding lazyness.

Big DPS that I uh....read through the battle chat and guessed with =X

usually I comm a DPS player cause we dont get many comms compared to heal/tanks

last comm was given to a tank who dropped his stance in a MSQ roulette when it was pointed out that both tanks had their stance on (honestly they were the better tank IMHO but props for team playing)
