Commendation system is useless

glad i'm not the only arse'ole :)

Must I remain inside the instance to receive player commendations at the end? Can they be obtained passively when you're back on your server world?

Ehh, it's not really being an "arse'ole." I've never given people begging for money in these games any money, why would I give a commendation to someone begging for that? If someone really wants those commendations, then they should do something word being commended for (maybe friendly personality, maybe someone who is obviously well skilled and keeping the group moving, someone who takes the time to explain new things, etc.). Just being there and doing your job isn't commendable; you get rewarded for that already via tomes/exp/loot.

No, you can only vote for those who are inside. So those in a hurry get no votes, worse for them :P

But I've seen people are starting to wait for everybody to vote before leaving instance now.

Perhaps people have different views on what the commendation means? I don't think you should be inclined to commend one person from every run you go on. It's more for when someone does something that you feels stands out, is commendable. Just getting put together and finishing a dungeon doesn't stand out as something worth special notice.

Now the OP has a real concern, in that once people leave the instance you can't commend them in the case they did do something that stood out. That's something that should be remedied.

You wouldn't vote for someone for simply reminding people about the system, and asking for your vote if you thought they did a great job (as intended)? Wow.

I can see not voting for someone that's begging for the commendations but the way the other person worded it was perfectly fine...

Having to wait for a vote that you *think* you'll receive does seem a bit egotistical.

Best to wait for treasure to be distributed, give a 5-count, then head out. If they saw one warning to roll on an item, then they saw the warning to commend someone. They're right next to each other.

That's exactly what I do. REinding people to vote, to me would look like I'm asking for a vote, which is lame. The button is just over loot one.
Must say though, in pvp this doesn't apply...

Maybe it's not working for the english speakers community, because I see some people just leave asap in the end of the run without saying anything. But in the japanese community, they usually say 'otsukaresama' or 'pt arigatou' in the end of the run regardless of how bad the party performs, maybe SE gives out the commendation on top of it to reward someone who perform the best.

I agree that it feels kinda broken when someone already left, we cannot commend that person. It kinda force everyone to stay in the dungeon for a bit.
