Commendation Rewards

[NinjaTaru72]

Considering the grand majority of people that have them all already boosted and cheated their way up -- I sure hope not.

Hello Mr.Dps who never gets commendations, play healer or tank Nd you can roll around in them all day after a week or two of some hard work

I think there could be more commendation rewards. i don't even have 200 myself. but even if its just a title or minion for getting like 1000 or something i think it would be cool.

The game could use more titles for certain achievements.

Not even, you can get plenty of commendations as DPS if you're good.

I have like 190~ however, I never really do dungeons with randoms. I didn't do roulettes prior to the patch changes. I would just group with my friends whenever I needed spare soldiery after clearing coil 2. The commendation system isn't bad.

I don't care how good you are as a dps, you may get more than an unexceptional one, but a great dps will never get as many as a mediocre tank or healer. Even when I'm tanking and screw up badly causing a wipe I'll still get commendations just because I'm tanking and for no other reason.

I got all 3 comms as my Bard once. I nearly fell out of my chair.

You may have been running with 3 people who were in a grp and could only give it to you. I know I've done that running with friends before.

This hasn't been the case in my own experience. My average number of commends is 2 on BLM (my main), and 1 on PLD (although that could say a lot about my tanking). In fact, I'm much more likely to get all 3 commends on BLM than any other job/role, and it's not really uncommon either. When I get 2, I usually assume the tank didn't commend me in the case that I kept pulling agro off them, and that's why I'm really not looking forward to a BLM buff. They might as well change our icon from red to blue when that happens.

Well commendations were put in to get people to be nicer to each other in dungeons, and they accomplished that really well; at least initially there was noticeably more positive interaction between people. You just have to hang the carrot, even if it's a really small one, and players will march towards it.

Exactly. I said it when it was first introduced and I'll say it again; whether people are actually being nice or if they're just pretending to get a commendation, as long as they are making the run pleasant I'll count that as a success for the commendation system.
