Commendation system is useless

But it isn't all your fault. It's useless because after a boss fight, everyone just ignores the commendation window and exits.

And I can't give anyone a commendation because once they exit, they can't be commended.

Have you tried telling everyone at the beginning of the dungeon about not forgetting to vote before they leave?

So far I only DFed for wolves then and yeah was kinda sad when I wanted to vote and everybody had left already :( Also took me a while to see the popup on the side cause not used to it.

Sounds like it's time for a Macro:

"Hi guys, I'll be your tank for this run. If you like how I do my job, I would greatly appreciate a commendation at the end as they are important to me. In turn, I will do the same for any of you that perform well! Thanks!"

If someone did that at the start of an instance, I wouldn't vote for them regardless of their performance.

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.

Well, that may be you, but as long as commendations are currency, I'll whore my self for them. You may not give them, but if someone told me that they were important to them and didn't waste my time in the Duty I would be more than happy to oblige them.

I realize that you only get one vote, but I'll take every vote I can get since I tend to whore myself in Dungeon Finder as opposed to pre-mades.

well if you just leave instantly, they don't care about the system obviously because most the new players won#t exit right away (atleast that's what I observed)

not sure if I should vote up a tank that ignores all new players at the story roulette -__-

I wouldn't vote for someone that ignored new players either, but that's not me. I would rather ask when the "New Player" announcement comes up and insure that they know the mechanics than to deal with the whole possibility that we wipe on something simple out of ignorance.

I played a dungeon roulette and a guildhest roulette to check out the system and recieved 2 commendations in each. If this continues I'd say it's working fine.

Simple solution, wait with your roll for the gear. Those rolling too will stay in dungeon. If they deserve the commendation is, for sure, another story. But you'll keep a good chunk of people in the dungeon.
