"Carrying" your team in Frontlines.

Does anyone else think there should be some reward system for carrying your team in frontlines 8v8v8s? I say this because in my last 2 matches, except for the first couple drone spawns I'm the only one at mid in my GC except for MAYBE a healer who knows how the mode works.

Did you get any commendation medals? I always make sure to give them out to players that do well.

The commendations in FL are very rare for some reason, I always give one to someone; usually my co-healer, or just another healer, especially in Slaughter mode. I'm recalling a slaughter match where I was the only healer, preventing many early K.O.s and what did I get for it? Not a single one. So the next match I went as a DPS and was very amused as the bodies were falling while I was healing myself with Physick. :D (No, we had no healers in our party.)

On topic: don't you get more EXP and Marks when you perform well? At least in Slaughter?

I got into a bad habit of queuing nearly instantly after a match because the quicker I got out and queued, the more likely I would get into the next slotted game. Because of that, no comms given or received :(. Usually IMMEDIATELY after one instance ends, another begins, so if you are a few seconds late, you might miss a game for 15-20 mins.

Haha I've gone on Healer Strike in Frontlines for this reason as well. Not that I tell everyone why, but if im the one person going DPS -> Healer and I'm keeping everyone up and following my team members removing 50 debufffs from each of them so they can DPS, win the game, and then get 0 commendations it's like "F' you too." and then I respec all my ability points in Summoner and will prefer to watch my next pug teams struggle and die without a single healer in the party if it comes to it. A couple days later I'll go back to being dual spec'd for SCH and SMN.

Btw the people in the OP's situation, if they were being carried, probably didn't realize it and probably didn't appreciate it, and I can for sure bet that they didn't commend them for it.

I always tell the healers if they are playing well that they are doing great! I had this one scholar in Secure 8v8v8, (but everyone was in the middle anyway nobody cared about the OPs) and he saved me soo many times and made me get highest kill count in the game. But I didnt have time to give commendation because he left before I could give it.
So I'm always thanking healers that do well before the game ends
