Commend suck-ups?

[Desidious]

Commendations are just an extra bonus for being helpful and all-around friendly. Duty Roulette story mode has given me commendations for simply explaining the mechanics in CM and I'm a dragoon. I think it's a wonderful addition simply for the fact that helpful players can actually be shown they are doing a good job too. Yeah there might be suck-ups but I'd take a handful of those over one destructive troll.

Take a deep breath and think back at any troll you've run into on DF. Now replace that with a person trying to suck up and be overly nice... way better huh?

This. People being encouraged to be nicer is a good thing. Less people being dicks about everything. I think people should be nice anyway, because it makes for a more comfortable community for everyone, but having a little encouragement is necessary for some people. As for just giving them to the person who was the best, SE said it was more for those who were most helpful or easy to work with or most improved. That's why they didn't call it the MVP system. I like to give them to people that I feel learned from their mistakes if they made them or were just fun to play with because of their personality (I think they are funny or just good at keeping the atmosphere friendly or something)
