    This is the worst idea ever.
    Considering most of times i run the low level roulette and explains mechanics to 1st timers, it is not even certain to guarantee me commendation(s) even when all 3 players are first timers.
    Some people aint even fussed about giving commendation(s) even when you've been nice and helpful to them or simply don't know how.

    Relying on this system to get myth would be even worse for the same reasons and the DR would be deserted.

    1st timers will then never get their dungeon done, because theyre either too bad to complete it due the lack of knowledge in dungeon mechanics or because not enough people are queuing for it via roulette and thus filling groups of 1st timers.


    Really this would only bring problems.

    This is because the technical implementation of commendations, as of now, is stupid (the window does not even pop up automatically...). Open it automatically, and distribute equally if the player really does not want to decide.

    I also do not get commendations every single time, but esp. with Castrum, my average "success rate" when doing explaining is roughly 75% or better (when success is defined at least 2 commendations - you can never see where they came from). This is definitely a higher success rate than the times I am quiet.

    Not to mention DPS would never get any myth.

    Questing is like participating in an Old Spice Commercial - Talk to me, talk to him, talk to me, talk to him, Now Talk To Me...Sadly, you are not done, back to him, look there, its that mob I never liked, back to me, back to him...I'm in the Waking Sands.
