Commendation Rewards

[Yuki_Tokita]

Commendations are a joke. A Commendation will always be given to a Free Company member or a significant other in RL. Commendations are supposed to be given out to the most outstanding member of your group, basically given out as a medal to players that performed superbly in a party. That’s what there for, that’s why they are called commendations.

Instead commendations are given out to friends and FC members, like it’s something to be expected from their in group. What is it with this group mentality? Can this community stop throwing around commendations like candy? And you know, actually give to people that earned it?

You do know that if you do it with your FC or friend, you usually team up before the fight, and anyone who teamed up with each other actually can't vote for each other? So...your argument is not valid.

I seriously doubt most commendations are given to friends and FC mates, given that unless you're actually grinding them and queuing for it on purpose, you won't be playing with anyone you know.

Also, if I might point out, the actual text in the commendation window put in there by Square Enix says: "Commend the player who left a positive impression upon you."

Whatever you think that is, is up to you, but I don't always commend the "best" player. I actually usually commend nice, funny and chatty people. ^.^
